Can you recommend a good medication to help you sleep and that helps with anxiety with low side effects?

Individual Help: You want all the right things, but it is a very individual issue. You should definitely ask your primary doctor for an evaluation. It could be helpful for you to seek psychotherapy, you might be able to find some help without taking medication at all. Best wishes.

Valium: Good old valium works like a charm. A full dose 5mg will give you good sleep onset, sleep maintenance, and not leave you groggy in the morning. A half-dose 5mg tab will help you deal with your stressful boss at work and yet be alert enough to balance the books. It is a very versatile drug, but unfortunately has a bad reputation. Good for muscle relaxation as well!
