Hi kacey:-) AMBIEN is in the class of meds we term 'SEDATIVES/HYPNOTICS'. While it is a hypnotic agent with a chemical structure unrelated to Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, or other drugs with known hypnotic properties, it interacts with a GABA-BZ receptor complex and shares *some* of the pharmacological properties of Benzodiazepines. Ambien is a non-Benzodiazepine hypnotic and is classified as a Schedule IV substance by government. Benzodiazepines will mainly show positive for 3 to 7 days.
Conclusion>It may and it may not.
Hope this helped some.> Is it possible for Ambien to show as a positive for Benzodiazepines on drug test?
