Brief Answer:
Yes it can be done but start with 30 mg

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Since ritalin is not working despite the dose increase I endorse your idea to try different medications. Although I like to put word of caution as you need only 30 mg in the beginning and not 60 mg from the day one. In case 30 mg do not work the dose can be increased by 10 mg every week with maximum dose of 70 mg per day.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
