I have been there, alcoholism is progressive so when I quit a few years back it was not as bad as this last time and I am sure if I picked up again and stop even worse next time. I went through similar anxiety and sleep problems, took me 6-8 weeks to stop and now I sleep like a log all night.

Eat right, give it time. I take no medication right now and feel great. Sober since early January.
