First off, like everyone else says, everyone is different so your mileage may vary...You can develop both physical and psychological dependence to Xanax, but again this all depends on the person. If you have a history of drug abuse that mentality may carry over to your use of Xanax...
When you eventually (and you will) detox off of Xanax there are plenty of recipies to do this, typically involving switching to a longer acting benzo like Klonopin...
Xanax dependence is generally factored not so much by the ammount you take but rather for how long you take it...
I wouldn't stress it, when you feel like youd like to come off it, you should have no problems as long as you taper w/ a longer acting benzo, and you don't rush the process...
