Xanax for Juvederm Lip Injection with out a Nerve Block?

blondie mom in tx
I went to have a juvederm lip injection and they did not numb me or give a nerve block, it was so painful I passed out than threw up. The doctor could not even finish. So He said he would cap it and try the following week and told me to take a xanax which he gave me a RX for. Will this keep me from feeling so much pain and from passing out? Scared to go through this kind of pain again.
