Mixing Melatonin and Methylphenidate (Ritalin)

Low risk, no synergy

Neither substance is expected to meaningfully change the other. Both still carry their own individual risks.

Do this

Treat each one as if you had taken it alone: its own dose, its own risks.

Reported

No specific interaction is documented. Melatonin is a mild sedative, so the general rule is that it adds drowsiness to anything else sedating and does little to anything else.
