He needs to see another psychiatrist or be thoroughly reevaluated by his existing one.
Triazolam is Halcion, which has been linked to violent behaviour in some people. Alprazolam is excellent for anxiety and panic attacks, but can provoke hypomania and mania in some patients.
Zoloft can also aggravate mania, as can the stimulant (Ritalin? I've heard of methylphenidate, but not dexmethylphenidate).
I think an increase in the Zyprexa and/or a reduction in Zoloft would be in order.
He really needs to see his psychiatrist and I would move somewhere where he can't find you until he can get things sorted out with his doc.
Next time he might not be smashing furniture and might harm you.
