Could Levosulpiride Be The Cause For Restlessness And Insomnia?

My mother is on a lot of medications as a diabetic with a heart condition. All her parameters are good she has come back well from an angina episode. Her blood sugar is under control and her BP is being monitored and is stable.
My mother is being treated with levosulpiride for nausea and vomiting and reflux. i was reading that levosulpiride is also an anti-psychotic medication and is a dopamine antagonist also can have the side effect of akathisia.
She is suffering from extreme restlessness and insomnia. If she sits, she wants to lie down, if she lies down she wants to sit. Could it be the levosulpiride?
