Technically it's a Z-drug (like Zolpidem/Ambien) which are non-benzodiazapine positive allosteric modulators of GABA_A
However, since it's a neurosteroid most will probably not think of it as such. (It's name does begin with Z though... And end in -one like a steroid).
Anyways, it's licensed for 2 weeks only, side effects are drowsiness, sleepiness and cognitive impairment. You mustn't drive within 12 hours of a dose.
It's best effects are where the depression is associated with insomnia and anxiety.
It was compared to placebo not Alprazolam (Xanax) which has some antidepressant activity.
