If i'm prescribed 10 mg ambien (zolpidem) if it doesn't work can i take two to see if it helps?

No: Both ambien and Xanax (alprazolam) can precipitate depression. With headaches and depression I think you need to get things sorted out (There are medications that will prevent headaches, help with sleep and manage depression.
