It is something that is not a benzodiazapine. Benzodiazapine is a class of drugs that are used to relax and help symptoms of anxiety and sleeplessness. Obviously there are many more classes of drugs than these too numerous to mention. There are great web sites out there to look drugs up on. an example of a "benzo" is Klonopin, or the generic is clonazepam. They can be a very addictive class of drugs for some people.

non benzos are like bus bar no narcotics.xanax,atvan which is zepam is non generic but has the narcotic agent. which is Ativan.lorizapam is the generic form of artisans whichbwork faster than most of the/others but has a shorter tolerance to the system and sometimes de*ending on your tolerance might not kee* the aniety or depression down long enough.xanax has different mg and there are so many different types that the dr. prescribes which is best for you, but keep in mind that it is very addictive and you should take only as directed.It is important to follow d7rections because ALOT of people have and are odeing from them.They r the leading Benzodiazepine in the world as well as volumes but Valium are less harmful than the xanax and clonapin.Im sorry I forgot to mention clonapins which act very much like the xanax and come in different strengths as well. Some dr rather or prefer clonipin over xanax while others prefer xanax and that depends on whatever else you're taking especially when it comes to narcotics so it varies.
