Ok, I'm not a doctor, but it does seem to me there might be a connection to your reducing the anti-anxiety med, and you're feeling more anxious... You got divorced what a week or 2 ago? I think it might be wise to think about reducing it in 6 months or so or maybe a year, waiting until your life is more settled and calm. Which it will be.
I'm still on a low dose of ADs and plan to keep up a little longer. I've talked to friends who've divorced, and you tend to think the stress is over after the D, but really there's still some stressful stuff that keeps on happening, adjusting to your life, the kids adjusting, etc. I hope you reconsider that. At least for a little while.
The finances; my strategy is to try to live as simply as possible. I take the kids to the dollar movie theatre rather than the $8 one. I don't eat lunch out every day like most at my office; some of my friends and I bring lunch and eat out maybe a couple times a month, which is healthier and makes it more of a treat when we do. If that didn't work, my plan B was to get a part-time job on the weekends, but don't think that will have to happen, but I'm ready if that ever needs to happen.
