I am confused. You ask if your medication could be affecting your sleep (it is possible). Then you begin telling me about your husband's medications. There are many medications for anxiety and insomnia. The ones he has tried are reasonable but if ineffective I would recommend a gradual change to other medications. Biofeedback therapy may help as well.
Ambien itself can cause depression or anxiety. It also may suppress deeper stage of sleep necessary for a more restful sleep. Low thyroid is associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. All of these things could be addressed with a consult to a sleep specialist as well as a psychiatrist.
