Xanax is actually an anti-anxiety drug that also causes drowsiness. Since it has a short half-life, effects are short (a few hours, not days). It is addictive after a few weeks and should not be taken with very much alcohol.

Oh, the generic (alprazolam) is very inexpensive, too.
Doesn't work for me. I've taken 1.5mg and still am wide awake.
