Not possible 2 say: You have to go back and discuss your treatment with the doctor who prescribed it to you. Be safe, don't increase your treatment on your own. Thank you.

Maximum doses: It seems that you are taking the maximum dose prescribed of ritalin. Possibly you could receive a combination of medication like an extended release formulation (concerta, vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) Adderall xr) and a short acting formulation (ritalin, adderall, focalin).
