Brief Answer:
SLIGHT CHANGE

Detailed Answer:
HI
While understanding your concern, I would like to change your medicine from xanax to tryptomer. It should be taken at minimum dose - 10mg , 2 hour before bed time.
This is a much better medicine for fibromyalgia, It gives you relaxation also.
rest should be same. It will take 2-3 weeks to get desired results
Hope this will help, If you have any further queries, please donot hesitate to call me..
Take care
