I was on a lot of stuff, including Xanax. I pulled myself off them a couple years ago as it really effected my life. I didn't have control over my emotions and felt that pills were controlling how I lived. I've found a lot of other ways to deal with anxiety and other things and have actually found that I feel much better.

If anyone suffers from problems with sleeping and anxiety, I highly recommend working out. I'm not kidding, kicking your ass in the gym for an hour a day will do wonders for your body. You'll be tired as hell before bed, and the ass kicking in the gym frees your mind and killed most of the anxiety I would have. I'm not talking about some light jogging, I'm talking about going hardcore and working yourself to the limits. It sucks at first, but you start to love it after awhile.
