Hi Cindy,
I agree with Captain.
Xanax ( Alprazolem)is "quick acting" and is probabley the best quick relief for anxiety. It is also true that regular use by keeping a steadier amount in your bloodstream ( same dose at regular intervals) usually leads to the calming effect we seek...without the initial side effect of the fatigue you mention. In any case....
I would recommend almost ANYTHING other than alcohol...even in moderation. I know many will disagree with this, but the potential dangers, health complications, dependency, and long-term damage to our bodies....make alcohol an "empty way" as the late Mickey Mantle confessed toward the end of his life.Its just not worth it.
IMHO
