Continually going on and off antidepressants is a recipe for treatment-resistance. A recurrent course of depressive illness indicates continued treatment. When you find something that works, you should probably take it indefinitely or until new ways of treating depression become available.
You might be right about the zolpidem (Ambien). Zolpidem has a short half-life (2 - 3 hours). The appearance of anxiety might be a rebound effect.
Have you ever tried a tricyclic (TCA)? They sometimes work for people whose depression and agitation are at their worst in the morning.
