I'm a zombie, still no sleep, I can't function on this. I can't read a book the lack of concentration, it's a wonder I can sit and type. To be honest I don't know if this is the norm or the obscure. But I've been on most (MAOI's) (SSRI) and Triclads to no avail. maybe it's time for ETC. 
So there it is blow it apart..

you are taking uppers and downers at the same time, seroquel during the day is very sedating as is the xanax, 2mg is a big dose too.any way to reduce the seroquel during the day and skip the xanax during the day so you are taking sedating things only at night, and maybe stop the ambien altogether. klonipin acts longer than xanax...these are only suggestions to talk over with your pdoc. Have you ever taken risperdal? lexapro can cause insomnia in some folks.
try to create some normalcy around bed time, like same time each night, so stimulating activities before bed, light reading, fan for white noise.
I wish you a good nights sleep.
there are chat rooms too, many folks frequent them on a regular basisthe link is on the top bar onthe right.
I wish you wellness.
