I'm surprised to read this because my research suggested that Ritalin was first developed to treat N, but was later found to work well for ADHD in children. I tried Modafinil, and like many others it worked well for about 2 days. I am currently taking Ritalin, but its not exactly a miracle drug. I find that I am not much less tired, but it does prevent me from actually falling asleep.
