Brief Answer:
Ya, it could be due to Ritalin.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It could be due to insomnia as it might be the side effect of Ritalin. So, I advise you to take benzodiazepines mainly if anxiety is your main concern. Discuss with your doctor regarding this.

Hope this information would help you.
