No

To expand somewhat on this topic: biochemically speaking, tranquilizers do not exert a stimulant effect on the central nervous system (CNS) but the family of drugs known as "minor tranquilizers" which comprises benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, etc.) and similar drugs such as Ambien and Equanil have the side effect of lowering the psychological inhibition threshold, a property they share with alcohol. This can lead to increased sociability, which is also a side effect of CNS stimulants. But unlike stimulants, CNS depressors such as minor tranquilizers and alcohol do not increase alertness levels and physical performance, quite the opposite.

Major tranquilizers are a different class of drugs and do not mimic stimulant effect in any form or shape.

If prescribed by a psychiatrist it is a legal drug. But if they are gotten from another source, besides being illegal, it may be harmful to your health. Tranquilizers and other drugs may be useful to control some psychological disturbances since they are taken strictly under the dosage prescribed by the specialized medical doctor, and during a short term usage.
