Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.
Ritalin is one of the first line therapy for the treatment of ADD or ADHD and it is completely appropriate to receive this medication for this problem. In your case it seems to me that you need to take extended release preparation to avoid sleepiness in afternoon or take more frequently with advise from your treating psychiatrist.
