Changing jobs is not an option because frankly I have a very well paying office job with no degree that I had to work years to get. Leaving would mean starting over again and destroying the standard of living we have worked for. I used to cope through various activities like exercise and hobbies, but outside of exercise I have no time for the hobbies lately. I have nightmares about work at this point. I like the people, I like what I would do and I know I can handle it if I have the proper outlet.
Xanax and other anti-anxiety drugs are not the proper outlet. Beware of starting a new problem that will be harder to overcome, addiction. As far as I know you only go around once and if all you are getting is anxiety this go around you need to consider something else no matter what. When you reach the end of this existence will you be able to look back and say you were happy? I am 75 and can say yes. I don't have an easy answer for you and wish you the best of luck. Just don't look for the answer in drugs.

My job is getting stressful. The anxiety is keeping me from sleeping and really starting to get to me.

My doctor suggested Xanax. I told him no for now because I don’t know if that would disqualify me being prescribed Xanax. It’s not depression or anything. Simply anxiety. Come renewal time will I be get denied if I go on it?
Time for a new doctor. Xanax is a very BAD drug. I know of no anti-anxiety drugs that are not addicting. Change jobs. These drugs will ruin your life.
