isn't valium a painkiller or does it just make you relaxed? is it a downer or upper, it's one of those if i remember right. In good fellas, the one guy gets it in the hospital....

but my friends mom gets xanax... i hear they make you relaxed
I think valiums are apart of the anxiolytic branch in the benzodiazepine section of drugs, they can make you relaxed and clear your mind which in turn is good for sleeping (they tend to be perscribed to people with sleeping disorder). Anyone tried any hypnotics? Have heard of them but unaware of there effects.
