Ambien stopped working

I was on ambien 10mg and seroquel 200mg q night. I was completely knocked out for several years. I wanted to get off the Seroquel because my cholesterol went way up on it.
The ambien quit working for me. I have ativan. That quit working too. My dr said I could take 3mg of ativan and that still didn't make me sleep. It's been over a year and a half that I literally get no sleep some nights and only a few hours some nights. Never have I slept more than 2 hours at once. If I'm lucky, I'll get 5 hours of INTERRUPTED sleep a night 2x per week.
I have: magnesium glycinate, melatonin 5mg, glycine, 50 MG seroquel, hydroxyzine, clonidine, and pasionflower tincture. Each night I try a combination of 2 to 3 things. All of these are supposedly good for sleep. However, I still cannot sleep. But, hopefully you could look into trying one or all of them. Good luck!

For what it's worth, this was on a Reddit thread, which really surprised me, since I have taken magnesium glycinate (I now take magnesium threonate). In case it has any relevance for you...
"Magnesium glycinate is Mg and glycine. Not just magnesium. Yes magnesium has weak antagonism for NMDA, but in some people L-glycine can have an agonist effect at certain NMDA receptor sites that can increase wakefulness/make them agitated/excitatory"
