I'm in the same boat as you two (charlotte & bart)
You might consider dexedrine in place of ritalin. I find it lasts a little longer (about an hour), and you may find it helps a bit more w/energy (as opposed to focus/alertness).
But as mentioned, 5 - 10 mg are pretty low doses... increasing the doses might be a good first step. I take 30mg ritalin, or 20mg dex...
Less than that has no effect for me... I could even nap after 20mg ritalin, or 15mg dex. YMMV
I'm considering trying an maio... that would require giving up the option of stims, which so far have been most helpful (wellbutrin also a little help).
Of course, if I do go that route & it works, I won't need/miss the stims... good luck
