It is unlikely that Ritalin would increase your need for antioxidative therapy with N-acetylcysteine. Besides, there is some concern that high doses of NAC might give rise to toxic metabolites that may promote pulmonary hypertension, among other things.

Methylphenidate (Ritalin) and cocaine are actually neuroprotective against dopaminergic neurotoxicity from methamphetamine and MPTP, because they prevent the neurotoxins from entering dopamine (DA) neurons by means of the dopamine transporter (DAT) protein.
