Hi, Mom!
Insomnia is unfortunately an initial side effect when starting Zyprexa for some people:
"Very common (10% or more of users): Depression (up to 18%), insomnia (up to 12%)"
Side effects generally resolve within days to a week or two... but since you need your sleep you should report this to your doctor right away.
Best regards and I hope you're getting your Zzz's quickly.
