Yes absolutely. The sedative effects of benzos can wear off while anxiolytic potential can remain - although the sedative effects probably contribute to some of their efficacy. And some drugs can be anxiolytic but NOT sedating (e.g. MDMA). So, drugs are odd little buggers.
In a pinch, a sedating antihistamine can help my general level of tension.
