Answer by Tanya
Alprazolam (generic) or XANAX (brand name) does have those side effects “Drowsiness or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes, slurred speech, clumsiness, trouble walking, decreased/increased interest in sex.”

Usually experiencing those symptoms mean a person accidently or intentionally took too much of the drug. It carries a very high risk for dependance, so he may be abusing them.
