May Not Need To: The dosing of a medicine like ritalin, (methylphenidate) and its various, forms, often requires adjtustments and monitoring of response. If you see no benefit at a certain dose, you may receive more benefit from a dosage increase, but you would need to work closely with your physician and not adjust the dose on your own.
