When I was on zyprexa it did not seem to block the effects of ritalin. It also did not block the effects of adrafinil or modafinil. It may have smoothed them out a little bit, but by no means negated them.
There are numerous regions of the brain and all these meds increase or decrease a certain neurotransmitter function in specific areas of the brain, but not usually equally universally throughout. It is not as simple as saying one thing blocks dopamine while another increases it.
