It does help you sleep, but it is xanax, and a miracle drug for anxiety...but be very very careful, because even in a small dose used for a small time, it can cause seizures...be very very careful...I take a fourth of a .01 tablet sometimes, and it knocks me out..

Alprazolam is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class used to treat anxiety disorders and as an adjunctive treatment for depression. It is also used as a medication to help aid in the beginning treatment of SSRI type drugs, since these can notoriously cause anxiety in the beginning of use.
Short Answer: NO it's for anxiety and panic attacks

It is mainly prescribed for anxiety but it can also be used for sleep..depending on strength they are they can really knock you out and also be careful how much you take or how long ..they can be very addictive if abused.

It relaxes you...... Maybe a little bit of sedation but, I don't think it's used specifically for sleeping.

Not specifically, but it will relax you.
It is an anxiety medicine.
