No, Xanax is not a barbiturate. It's a member of a family called benzodiazepines (like Valium, Ativan, etc...). It has definite addictive potential. It is an anti-anxiety medication, when used as prescribed it is relatively safe. Check with your physician or pharmacist for details and avoid alcohol when using this medication as the effects can be dangerous.
