Having grown up around a few kids on Ritalin I would suggest you only use it if you have tried everyting else. Even if the drug does work, I feel that it taught many of my friends that drugs were the solution to all their problems and many turned to them as they got older. Knowing what many of them are doing now, I don't think Ritalin helped to make them deal with their ADD, and it hurt them later in life since they had no other coping skills.
