Since your pdoc raised the dose so quickly to try to combat the anxiety, and it didn't help, maybe lowering the dose significantly would give you time to adjust.
That might reduce the sleepiness over a period of a week or two, and also maybe the anxiety.
I dont' know about the anxiety aspect, but I do know of people (myself included, using it for sleep at a low dose) who have adapted and had less daytime sleepiness after a time. Even on much higher doses, this is true. But there's no reason to think you need 300 mg, if it was a dose chosen to reduce anxiety.
Seems possibly counterproductive, actually. Might be much easier to acclimate to a lower dose.
