Yes, it's an anti-anxiety that makes you sleepy. Benzo...something...same class as Klonopin and Valium, but some things work differently. I will take more Xanax until it stops working again. Then....maybe my sleep will be back on track by then. Or not...but I'll switch back to Klonopin, which is more for long term. Pretty surprised my Dr so easily said OK to so much Xanax.

Will this new drug be better because it will make you drowsy not make you drowsy? Just wondering.by...K@ Ashcrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231821117305032817noreply@blogger.com
