In reply to Zyprexa and stimulants, posted by sdjeff on May 5, 2004, at 0:53:55
When I took the atypical antipsychotics (including zyprexa), my shrink always said traditional stimulants were a no-no; he believed they would interfere with the dopamine antagonist properties of the drugs and possibly induce a not-so-nice reaction. That said, I took Ritalin (40mgs/daily from a different shrink) while on Seroquel and it did help...however, it helped A LOT MORE when I stopped taking the antipsychotic. I think you might want to look into Provigil if you want to keep the zyprexa.
