Ritalin seems to make everything perfect for me. I have a perscription, think I need increase, any advice?

I have a prescription for Ritalin, (methylphenidate) and I take it how I'm supposed to . It makes everything perfect for me, but It wears off really fast. (20mg 1 time a day) and I go back next week to the shrink. Any Ideas to get my dose upped to 20mg 3 times a day? Thanks.

20 mg isn't very much, unless you are a child. There are time release medications similar to Ritalin that last 8 hours, and now they have a patch. But remember, These meds can interfere with diet and sleep. Sleep and a healthy diet are just as important to your condition, so you should have most of your day unmedicated. Make sure you are using the hours well, during school or work. Don't believe what you hear about it being addicting, you are taking a medication in controlled amounts. Drug abusers take more and more everytime. There is a big difference and many ignorant people do not understand the difference.
