Ok, this is totally instinct, last post of the day for me, gut reaction....

Keep zyprexa.
I don't like any of the others along with zyprexa except maybe the ativan or xanax.

That said, one thing that really saddens my spirit is when we accidentally fall into the trap, we slide down the slippery slope of adding one med on top of another on top of another hoping the most recent addition will be the magic bullet but never is. Even if it was, it couldn't do its magic through the clutter of the other meds. Weaning off any those meds won't be easy, but I don't see how real progress can be made without totally replacing them, except zypexa stays. Adding to it I would be thinking in terms of broad spectrum coverage which basically means SSRI+TCA along with zyprexa for mood stabilization and antidepressant enhancement. Keep ativan or xanax if desired but not both.

Just an opinion at first glance.
