Cognitive behavioral: If you don't want to take antidepressants, then make sure to avoid benzodiazepines, too. Those can be rather addicting. Instead, ask for cognitive behavioral therapy. Check out http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/anxiety-treatment.aspx. Regarding insomnia, try to avoid sedative-hypnotics such as Ambien (zolpidem). Focus on sleep hygiene (NSF = http://goo.gl/cPq36a & CDC = http://goo.gl/gImxpW).

Would: you be willing to take an anti-anxiety medication? Many of the SSRI's are used for patients who have generalized anxiety disorders and who don't have depression.
