A word of caution, you might not be a Ritalin responder. ADD cannot be diagnosed by whether or not you respond to Ritalin or any other stim. Often what works for one ADDer, won't work with another, just like all meds.
I don't know how old you are, but hormones can also play havoc with cognitive abilities. If you can get any of your old school records together, that would help in the assessment of ADD.
Ritalin works right away. You may need to up the dosage. Or try another stim like Adderall.
Good luck,
Sara T.
