I'm happy to give you my sleep combo, but I honestly can't say it's magic  It's better than nothing, in that it helps me fall asleep and stay asleep for about 4 hours. After those hours I get up for an hour or 2, then go back and sleep some more.
First off, melatonin hasn't worked for me, at all. It might sometimes help me fall asleep, but I awaken in an hour.
Seroquel - I'm trying not to become dependent on it so I don't take it every night. When I do use Seroquel I take either 12.5mg or 25mg, no more. I take 1 dose of ZzzQuil.
Seroquel by itself doesn't help much, ZzzQuil by itself doesn't do much, either.
If given a choice, though, I'll take the ZzzQuil over the Seroquel.
Although ZzzQuil is diphenhydramine, just like Benadryl, it works better for me than other diphenhydramines do. Maybe because it's liquid. I don't know.
So, yeah, if I really want the best sleep possible I use the Seroquel and ZzzQuil together.
