Xanax is what i take...it can make you somewhat drowsy if you take a large dose...i only take .25 mgs.....i usually take it night before i go to bed to help me relax...and it does put me right to sleep...but i have also taken during the daytime when i am super panicky......it just depends on the dose you take i think as to how tired or anything you will get...that is the only side effect i know of...i have never felt bad or anything with it...in fact i love that little pill so much...i think it would help you during those situations. Xanax will not make you sick...and it won't make your stomach hurt at all...i promise..K
