    They can be very useful some some people, however there are a few of the stronger ones on the market which can have serious side effects.
    Be sure that you have a good relationship with your doctor and tell him/her all the effects you get from the meds, even the small things you think might not be important.

    As for 'just' making you sleep, be very glad of that, some of us cant do that on a regular basis and it really gets to you. In fact I've been prescibed some anti-stress/sedative pills for a short term solution.

    Oh and if you want more information on your drug, try www.rxlist.com if it doesnt come up under the trade name try the chemical one.
    They have lots of information.
