Ritalin and other stimulants are very controversial for many people.
Have your doctor visit the Psychopharmocology Tips site, where she will be able to read plenty of anecdotes from reputable doctors who use stimulants to augment antidepressants.
Whether it is a good idea for you in particular is another question.
Regarding your hypersomnia: have you ruled out other physical problems that can cause hypersomnia, such as thyroid problems or sleep disorders? Before starting a stimulant medication, you might consider ruling out such things.
Good luck.
