your doc sounds like a quack no offense but ritalin for a side effect of another medication is usually one of the last resorts. Have you tried dopamine/norepinephrine/epinephrine precursors? This should drastically help (I would know as I was having troubles with over-sedation but started taking supps for it). I recommend DLPA and/or l-tyrosine to help with the drowsiness. Also astragalus is an herb that can help as well as rhodiola. I take a product called SynaptaGenX which has all of these these herbs/amino acids in it.
The only downside is its quite pricey. Here’s the link if you are interested. Natural Dopaminergic Activator
Here is a list of the ingredients if you choose to try some of the things in it:
"Thiamine,15 mg (1033% of Daily Value); Vitamin B6, 10 mg (500%); Chromium polynicotinate (as ChromeMate®) 200 mcg (166%); a fixed dose combination of amino acids and herbs called Synaptose™ , which contains DL-Phenylalanine, L-Tyrosine, Passion Flower Extract; a Metalloglycoside™ Complex containing Arabinogalactans, N-Acetylglucosamine, Astragalus, Aloe Vera, Frankincense Resin, White Pine Bark Extract, and Spirulina; Rhodiola (as RhodiGen™; L-Glutamine; 5-Hydroxytroptophan (5-HTP); Thiamine Hydrochloride; Pyroxidal-5-phosphate; Pyridoxine HCl; and Chromium polynicotinate"
