Your Ritalin dosage is way too low compared to your Adderall. Current statistics show that both types are drugs are nearly equally effective but the dosage must be adjusted. Ritalin dosage should be around 1.5 times the dosage of an amphetamine to get the approximate same benefit.
Some other options to pursue:
1. Increase the Ritalin (probably something in the 70-90mg range). Try some of the better Ritalin forumulations such as Concerta or Ritalin LA.
2. Switch to the more potent Focalin (Focalin is the cleaner form of Ritalin and only requires half of what a Ritalin dose is). [[COLOR="Red"]removed]
3. If your doctor doesn't/won't switch to Dexedrine then ask for Desoxyn. Desoxyn is supposed to be one of the best and rarely used meds for ADHD.
If none of these work then get a new doctor. The doctor is supposed to work for you and help you out.
Good Luck,
J
