Actually that link is no good to you - Zyprexa is not an anti-depressant! It is an anti-psychotic. As such, it will block many of the effects of stimulants including MD** and other amphetamines, and possibly LSD also. If you search for 'Zyprexa' in Health Q & A you will get past threads on this topic.
If you need an anti-psychotic medication, you shouldn't be doing recreational drugs full stop as they can exacerbate your mental health problem. Also, if you have been led to believe this drug is an anti-depressant, go back to your Dr and make him/her explain why you are taking it.
P.S Drug interaction questions belong in the Health Q & A forum
