Has anyone had the sleep study done and was told you have idiopathic hypersomnia ?

I was told i have idiopathic hypersomnia (cousing to narcolepsy). I stay tired all the time and stay sleepy all the time. Was anyone told that they have this? My doctor has me to take ritalin and i am scared to take it. Has it helped anyone? I have heard so many bad things about ritalin. He said it would give me energy and i wouldnt stay tired all the time. I am glad it would help that but still nervous about taking it.
