I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but deja vu is neither migraine OR anxiety related. Most people experience feelings of deja vu, and there is no evidence that there is any correlation with mental illness or migraine headaches.
The cause of deja vu is still unknown with a few theories that are more common than others. Some people think it is a temporary malfunction of the memory giving the impression that something is being 'remembered' while it is really being experienced. Another theory is that there is a small temporary overlap between the short and long term memories that makes people feel as is they are recalling something stored in the long term memory. Other theories include misinterpretation of visual stimuli, and one hemisphere registering an event a fraction of a second before the other.
It is possible that your migraines and anxiety are related, if stress and anxiety are one of your triggers. If Xanax works for your anxiety then that's great, but there really is no need to worry about episodes of deja vu. It is very common and has no link to any other disease.
