It is a Federally controlled substance in the USA. It falls under Schedule IV, meaning it has ability for abuse and addiction, but not a narcotic. It is not a benzodiazapine, such as Valium and Xanax and all the others like them. But it has the same effect, as it binds to the same receptors in your brain as benzodiazapines.
