Well, for one thing, on an MAOI you don't really dream much so if thats the problem with a sleep drug, it might work while you're taking the MAOI. Also, some of those are just antihistamines, like amitryptiline. i'd suggest cyproheptadine for an antiH to try.
i don't know what your symptoms are like, do you perhaps expect too much from a hypnotic? its not unusual to need to spend some time late evening relaxing and doing slow rituals, and to lay in bed for a bit before you drift off. working on sleepy hygine in cbt can be helpful. i found meditation good, just because it made me much more skilled at turning my internal dialogue off.
