According to: Drugs.Com there is potential for interaction between Effexor and ritalin: "using venlafaxine together with Lamotrigine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. ".

See your dr: You may experience some weight loss and elevated blood pressure on the combo of Effexor (venlafaxine) and ritalin, but there are no significant drug interactions w/ the other meds. If you notice a rash or any other side effects, notify you dr. Asap. Have u been diagnosed w/ anemia? It is good to be checked to see if you really need additional iron. Make sure the vitamins come from a reputable source.
