Yes, it is generally okay to take melatonin and while on Zoloft. Just keep in mind that they using the two together will make you more sleepy or drowsy (which in your case may be the desired effect), but make sure to avoid activities that require mental alertness such as driving until you realize the effect of this combination of medications.
I hope you can enjoy a full night of sleep soon.
