Our experiences are dreadfully opposite. I went to the hospital after Benedryl made me anxious and wide awake. (They gave me valium, and sent me home.)
I take an occasional 10mg. Sonata, and I'm out like a light in anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. (If I'm extremely anxious, it can take a while to fall asleep, but I usually wind up getting six hours with two back-to-back pills.)
I tried Ambien first. Nothing happened. I suppose I will have to try it again, as I wasn't "stabalized" with Serzone at the time.
Nyquil knocks me out, too.
As for melatonin, that stopped working for me after a few weeks. As it is mostly for clock regulation (jet lag, etc.), it really shouldn't even have an effect for any length of time. (Hell, a placebo effect is better than nothing, though.)
We're all different.
