Hi, Gmamurphy!
Generally considered for it's sedative action for many people. Anxiety is not listed as a reported side effect but it can cause agitation, restlessness, and a pounding or racing heartbeat (tachycardia). These side effects might mimic some of the symptoms of anxiety.
You might want to talk or pharmacist about your concerns.
