Then again it depends on your brain cuz there was a time when non of that over the counter stuff would work for me.

It's good also if you can rotate like one night you use Benadryl another melatonin another a benzo another ambian then you don't burn up there effectiveness.
This is exactly what I do, same stuff, and flip back and forth. Ask your pdoc though because too much sedation can cause you to stop breathing. I can be very sensitive to melatonin and take 1.5mg on top of what I'm already taking for "those" nights.
