Will Xanax Help With The Pain Of Vaccination?

I hate vaccines and I am extremely afraid of them. I need to get the HPV (all of them) I think they are gardasil? And I heard that they hurt the most. A friend recommended that I take xanax to get through it. I would have my dad drive me. But will it work? Will I still be able to feel it? Or am I going to forget it all? I was put into twilight sleep a while back and before they gave me (I think) Versed in a tube to relax me. I saw the IV going right in and I didnt really care. Will it be like that?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Gardasil is given through intramuscular route means it is injected deep to your muscles. It won’t produce much pain and no need to take Xanax. And no doctor will recommend Xanax or other sedatives before injection. Infact it won’t produce much pain relief or twilight sleep as you expect. You can take simple analgesics like ibuprofen or acetaminophen after the injection and can apply warm compression for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query.
