Zyprexa + Ritalin
Hmm, those drugs have opposite effects, I imagine they cancel each other out quite a lot. What reason did the doctor give for prescribing the antipsychotic? I'm disturbed by how many people on the autistic spectrum get those prescribed when they were designed for managing psychosis, the severe side-effects make it pretty inappropriate to use them for anything else.
I got prescribed the antipsychotic because I've suffered from major psychosis just a couple of years ago. Apparently I'm much more prone to psychosis than most people, and I'm to swallow those pills probably for the rest of my life to prevent it from ever happening again.
I also have my doubts about the combination Zyprexa + Ritalin. Like you said, they seem to cancel each other out for the most part. I've felt uneasy about that for some time already. I think I should perhaps discuss this with my doctor the next time I see her.
