    What medication helps best with anxiety and sleep problems

    Hi all I was on propanlol but doctor has told me to stop as it was lower my heart rate too much but I've been having huge problems with my anxiety lately I haven't been sleeping I can get to sleep but wake up so many times in the night I'm sweating but this was happening while on propanlol I did have the depo a few month ago and wondered if it's messed my hormones up my question is what medication do people take for anxiety and does it work better than propanlol my heart doesn't race any more I am having a 24 hour heart monitor fitted to check my natural pacemaker the doctor at the time wasn't to sure about starting me on a different medication but I'm going out of my mind I need to sleep better at night I'm exhausted thank you in advance for replies

    Thank you for replying I went to doctors today and she wants to do a hormone profile on me what ever that is but still wouldn't give me any meds for my anxiety all because it can effect the heart but that's what I've got my fear over having a heart attack or something else wrong with my heart I just feel I'm losing battle with my life it's not a life this must be hell any body know of any natural remedies I could try to calm myself with and maybe get a good night sleep
