I also had a problem with sleeping too much. After I was diagnosed with inattentive add, I had no problem getting a prescription for a psychostimulant. They do work great. I've taken Ritalin which was like being on a roller coaster (feel great for about 3 hours-then bam- come down REAL fast. Concerta and Medidate are new ritalin extended release capsules that last 8-12 hours and the effect is quite smooth. But my favorite is the Adderal XR. Very smooth and you take one in the morning and it last all day. The psychostimulants have really helped me get through the day and concentrate much better on my work. They are very safe and have great side effect profiles (I lost weight and started exercising). The only problem is finding a doctor that will prescribe them for you. I haven't found one yet that will prescribe a psychostimulant as an add-on for depression. You have to be diagnosed as either ADD or narcolepsy. Good luck
