Yes Theresa this drug is used for sleep,It has lots of uses like many drugs so don't let that worry you that is why it is hard to tell someone why they are taken a medication.Don't be fooled by the .5 mg you can't compare different meds by milligram this is a strong one and stays in you system to help anxiety and stress during the day good luck Chuck wise Pharmacy Technician.Cpht

It can have the sedation side effect right away, but it takes a bit of time to be in your system to have peak effect.
