Does high or low dopamine create insomnia? i was on zyprexa (olanzapine) for awhile but it did not sedate me i needed to take a moderate dose of ativan to sleep..

Insomnia : There are numerous neurotransmitters that contribute to sleep and wakefulness. Getting to the bottom of what is causing your insomnia is the best treatment recommendation than using medicines to make you sleepy. Would recommend for you to talk to a sleep specialist.
