Of course,xanax can be taken as an antianxiety medicine,but under guidance of a physician.Clonazepam can be an alternative medicine.
Further,antineuralgic medicines like pregabalin or duloxetine along with methylcobalamin can be taken.That may help a lot.
Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow up.
