Yeah, I think it is pretty much right away with the first dose that you should feel the Ritalin working. There is no buildup of Ritalin that needs to take place or anything like that like in the case of antidepressants. Think of the effect of Ritalin as similar to that of coffee in that the first time you drink coffee you feel the pep, it doesn't take several days of drinking to work.
