General & Family Physician 's  Response
Zyprexa is meant to be used as an antipsychotic; mainly for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with severe manic episodes. I wouldn't take it for insomnia. There are a lot of sedatives your doctor can prescribe you: Restoril, Rozerem, Vistaril, Lunesta...
and one more drug zolpidem (brand nake zolepress) is good as it don't have hangover effects in the morning,
note: please consult a good psychiatrist, and skip to another good drug .
I hope you happy with information kindly rate it. thank you.
