hi there, I have read your query and understand your concern. Ambien is not considered good drug for anxiety. It is non benzodiazepine sedating agent. I will not advise you to take it for your anxiety symptoms. There are other better alternatives like clonazepam which you can try. So I advise you to consult your psychiatrist and get opinion on this. All the best
