It would be better to ask your doctor. If he's willing to try, I think it worth a shot. Ritalin is not a panacea, it makes miracles for some people and brings nothing but side effects for others. For me, it was something in between.

ADHD is a recognized neurological condition, and I believe it's better to remedy it with drugs than try to live with unadjusted brain. It's not our fault.
