Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Xanax contains alprazolam and can be used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.
You can take xanax if your doctor prescribed previously and if you didn't have any side effects previously due to the drug.
Better to take minimal dose needed.
You can use pain killers like paracetamol, ibuprofen for mild pain in endometriosis.
For severe pain you can use combination of paracetamol and codeine with your doctor's advice.
But it should be keep in mind that it can cause side effects like constipation.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
