Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Xanax (Alprazolam) belongs to benzodiazepine group and is commonly used as an anxiolytic drug. This has got no role in the management of nerve problems.
Gabapentin and Pregabalin are much helpful in alleviating your neuropathic pain.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
