Hi...nothing serious or panicky. He might sleep a lot more than his usual timing. But whatever it is, Xanax (Alprazolam) is not approved in this age. It might cause excessive drowsiness and sometimes respiratory depression too. I suggest you get him evaluated at the nearest emergency room and get reassured.
