Well, I'm just basically asking, if there is any long-acting active metabolite of Ritalin.
As for other options - forget in Czechia, even getting Ritalin is quite difficult, most physicans are unvilling to prescribe stimulants, actually Ritalin can only be prescribed by specialists and its subscription is regulated under the same law as opiates.

What desolationrower is referring to (clonidine) is an anti-hypertensive drug used to augment ritalin to help with sleep problems. It is not a controlled substance.
Actually there is some evidence that clonidine itself helps with adhd symptoms.

Thanks.
I'm actually not sure Ritalin is related to my insomnia. I have been taking Ritalin for about 3,5 years and only having trouble with insomnia for about half a year. But I try to research various possibilities.
So far I have not found clonidine being sold in Czechia. But usually there is more tight regulation regarding drugs.
