In reply to do anti-psychotics make ADD worse??, posted by cybercafe on December 22, 2002, at 14:34:16
Antipsychotics (but not Seroquel) mask the dopaminergic effects of Ritalin, making it worthless. I think that noradreneric mechanism is probably more important for concentration, so adding a NE reuptake inhibitor (e.g. Edronax) and/or switching to a weaker D2 antagonist (Risperdal, Zyprexa,Geodon and Seroquel in that order) MIGHT make you more concentrated.
