What's the Ritalin for? If it's to augment your AD, have you tried or has your doc suggested wellbutrin? I hate bringing it up because it worked so poorly for me, but since ritalin/focalin work so well for me maybe you'll opposite response to it than I did. Wellbutrin and Ritalin use different mechanisms AFAIK to block the reuptake of dopamine, which may have made all the difference for me (and why it didn't work for you).
My previous PDoc, about 8 years ago or so when I was first starting on multidrug therapies, told me that there was a lot of support in the literature for the effectiveness of prozac and wellbutrin. With zyprexa as a mood stabilizer, that might be a combo to discuss with your doc.
