Default My anxiety is keeping me from sleeping.

Okay, I was put on Adderall(5mg) about 3 or 4 months ago for add. I have post traumatic stress disorder (I have really bad panic attacks) also so I was prescribed Xanax(1mg) at the same time. A month later I was put on Zoloft(100) for anxiety management so I could take less Xanax. I have insomnia, and the xanax helps with that, but its still not great. So my doctor tells me to try ambien. (I had to stop drinking to take it which bothered me quite a bit and made my sleep anxiety worse) (2-3 glasses of wine a night usually) I tried it 3 times. I expected it to knock me out. It didn't I wasn't sleep walking or talking I was just still awake. When I did go to sleep it was like for 2 hours and then I woke up. Unable to sleep, but unable to take my xanax in fear that the combo would knock me out for a couple of days. Of course all this made my anxiety worse because I couldn't sleep. I didn't take any ambien last night, drank some wine and took some xanax, and boom slept 2 hours and woke up. Tossed and turned all night. And before all this I started taking more adderall (7 1/2), but I cut it back down to see if that was part of the problem and I am so tired. I am having to chug coffee and smoke cigs like its going out of style. Any advice on insomnia and when people usually change their adderall dosage? My boyfriend uped his at about 3 months. Also has anyone else experienced this with ambien?
