Yep, you're right, they're anticonvulsants. But you were also right before when you said they can cause seizures during withdrawal. If someone is on a relatively high dose of a benzo, and stops it cold turkey, he or she may be prone to seizures. If on a really high dose - eg, 8mg/day of Xanax - they definitely WILL have a seizure.
