I think almost all cannabis is good for anxiety and sleep issues. As far as types, Sativa are more of the head-high, whereas Indica are more of a body stone. I like a good hybrid, something like White Widow which gives you both types of highs. You should do some research on the various kinds of cannabis. Sativa is a taller plant that takes longer to flower. Indica is shorter with shorter flowering times. If the issue is mainly sleep issues, most people would say the body stone of Indica is probably better. When you read the descriptions on the strains, they will usually tell you what type it is. I like a 60/40 hybrid, with either type being dominant.

You should stay away from most Sativa's b/c they can increase anxiety or racing and can interfere with sleep.
You want Indica Dominant. Some good one's we use for sleep and anxiety are:
Northern Lights, AK-48 (not 47), White Rhino, or The Indica Pheno of Blueberry is also nice for sleep, Berry White another good one for sleep. Any of those will help with anxiety and sleep.

I suffer from PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder) and restless leg syndrom. Ive found 2 strains, both Indica dom. Bubblicious and Aurora Indica both by Nirvana. They both do the job at night. In the morning i smoke Blue Mystic which is Sativa dom. Hope this helps you out my friend.

it's better to ask for specific strains as opposed to indica or sativa ... It depends on your anxiety too. Is it stress, panic, paranoia ... Some sativas would probably induce anxiety and maybe make you over analyze ...then again the same for indicas ...
It's better to describe what kind of anxiety it is you have and what gives you trouble sleeping ...
but for sleep .... a nice heavy indica stone would be advisable...JMO
On that note ... i recently had TGA Jacks Cleaner ( or so i was told) and it's an almost pure sativa .... but it gave me a clear, happy high, as opposed to an indica with high CBD/CBN which gives a bit of a dizzy feeling sometimes

Bubbelicious is a great strain. Unending munchies...It'd be good for those with no appetite/nausea. A happy high.

I suffer from high anxiety to the extent that my stomach lining was tearing from hydrochloric acid it was constantly secreting causing me to have a VERY serious infection. I grow a sativa/indica hybrid. Not entirely sure what strain it is exactly but it shows characteristics of both plants. One thing i do suggest though is finding someone you trust that has an extensive knowledge on what weed they can "give" you. It sucks when you're "getting" weed and the "giver" gives you something entirely different from what he said it was. I also would suggest not getting a pure sativa as it could make you more anxious.
It's panic, anxiety and sleep problems I'm dealing with! The panic is REALLY bad and the powerful stuff sends me into an attack!
Please...any suggestions?

sounds like you're having some stress related issues, unless this has been an issue your whole life... but I'm working on it man! I'm still in search of a perfect strain to be able to knock out the anxiety and panic for myself. Something to go in there and halt the commotion in my head/body
If you plan on ordering from nirvana ....I've heard that Blue Mystic works well .. But i have no experience with their seeds yet. One of the last strains i ordered was Delicious Seeds- Fruity Chronic Juice. The ad for it seems like it's everything i need, BUT i've noticed they describe a few of their strains the same exact way... so i'm not banking on any wonder drug.
Take into consideration too that cannabis isn't a cure-all... If you don't find any strains that give you remote relief from your ailments ( although any strain will help with your sleep issues) It might be time to see a doctor. If it's that bad of course.
I've been suffering from panic/anxiety/sleep/appetite issues for most of my life. What seems to work for me ...... mid to low THC content strains...... I notice that sometimes a bit of mids works better for my stress than a heavy, sleepy indica that smacks me in the face and makes me anticipate how i'm going to make it through the day in such a haze...
lol ..sorry for the rambling .. but i would just go by what other people suggest or what you've tried that works
the last batch i had claimed to be good for anxiety ..but it was a HEAVY fucking indica .
Sweet Seeds- Cream Caramel ... the plant was a fucking madman. In both good and bad ways. Had a STRONG onset ... but a nice relaxing wind down. Almost too relaxing IMO, in the sense that.... you wouldn't want to go jogging with it.
I promise after acquiring a few strains under my belt and some experience ..I'll post which ones are good or bad for anxiety disorders.... I'm actually looking forward to this experiment since i find very little info on the net.
this is what, in my experience, you don't want for anxiety, the strong onset
strong onset is synonymous with a bad anxiety experience, at least for me
a gentle takeoff is medicinal, and these can be either indica or sativa

like i was saying the jury is still out on that.... But I've searched some strains that interest me. I'm looking forward to growing out Dinafem- California Hashplant. It has a low THC content but higher CBD/CBN. Alot of autoflowering strains have a lower level of THC. But from what i've read ... it's been said that Strawberry Cough is a great anti-anxiety, there's a few blue strains that are also recommended, Blue Satellite, Blue Dream. I've noticed in the list of ailments and strains that alot of Hashplant and Berry strains claim anti-anxiety heres a link for ya. But i wouldn't take it as word

my experience with the newer strains is limited(older smoker rediscovering new medicine)
i have had some luck with nirvana PPP, probably the least anxious smoke i've had
does have a quick tolerance build though, such is life i guess, nothing is perfect
but some have had different experiences with it and did find it anxiety producing
this is a tough topic, people just react differently to the cannabinoids
