Xanax vs atenolol

Saturday night I had some sleeping problems. Sunday night I was awake at 12:30 am and pretty much couldn't get back to sleep. As a result I felt terrible yesterday, counted the hours until work was over. Insomnia is a potential side effect of the beta blocker. Since I have my trip to work two hours away today, I opted to skip the beta blocker last night and go with a Xanax so I could definitely sleep. Got around 9 hours of sleep. I had been taking the beta blocker in the evening, I think I'm also going to switch it to the morning to help reduce effects on my sleep. Today will be Xanax, as I know much better how I will react and I don't want to experiment with the changed time for the beta blocker while driving for four hours today.

Beta blocker will begin again tomorrow morning, since I will be working locally at what's normally a quiet location.
