Hi,

Interaction of these both are not well studied but these both together moreover does not increase or decrease each other effect but insomnia via Ritalin can be mistaken for migraine. Are you able to sleep that night? Why is Ritalin prescribed to you? It has only few indications. Otherwise, your treating doctor can replace it with other as these can’t be prescribed needs offline OPD basis only.

Breathing exercises also helps in diseases which needs these meds. Sleep and healthy life style are helpful.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
