Advice regarding asking for methylphenidate from Doctor.

Hello, I(19M) live in Delhi and have been diagnosed by a doctor in Safdarjung hospital. I am currently on 20 mg atomoxetine (daily, broken down into two doses of 10mg and 10mg). Although I have found atomoxetine somewhat helpful I want to go for the use of methylphenidate once in a while when I give mock tests. I am preparing for CAT, I have found that atomoxetine doesn't do much for working memory and working memory is a crucial thing for solving MCQs with high accuracy. How should I approach my doctor (she is understanding and considerate though she isn't a specialist on ADHD) with this request ? What is the procedure for buying methylphenidate legally in India and where can I reliably find it in Delhi. What are the things that I should keep in mind about methylphenidate ?

Thank you very much for help :)
