My husband takes Xanax 4 times a day for panic disorder/agrophobia. He also takes anti depressant. There are certain anti-depressants out there that have an added anti-anxiety affect too. if you are stressed about your situation(understandably) i would consider a low dose of anti-depressant anyhow. Xanax does make you sleepy but if you take it only at night that wouldn't be a problem. My hubby started off on clonazepam many years ago but when he started with his guru shrink, he changed him to Xanax. I think the former drug may be a bit 'old fashioned' for anxiety now.
So, i'd try for Xanax or a sleeping tablet if it just to get you through the night. I have had my fair share of anxiety induced insomnia and it oisn't pleasant. I took Valium for it. Ativan is in the same family i think.
Good luck.
