Kathy, My Dr. has me on Alrazolam 0.5 mg (xanax), its a muscle relaxer. They work great for me...I have a under active Thyroid so I have to take Synthroid daily and it makes me VERY active so I need something to slow me down at night...If I didn't take them, its hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep I would be up every hour on the hour....Talk with your Dr. tell him/her they are not working for you, what works for some may not work for you, Keep communicating with your Dr. until you find what works for you..Good Luck!! Hope you find what works for you
