Yes they do. Hence why people abuse them to get high. When I used to get high on amphetamines I'd say it definitely mimicked hypomania & definitely full blown mania at times when I'd taken enough. Most symptoms of mania are identical to amphetamine abuse. Not taken Zyprexa myself but normal doses probably do antagonize DA.
Why were you prescribed them? Was the Ritalin making you hyper but still helping? Maybe thats why he/she added Zyprexa to calm you whilst aiming to keep most of Ritalin's theraputic qualities? I'm just guessing.
