Hi there!
Before you stop taking your Effexor you need to know that there can be considerable withdrawal symptoms. We have a whole page of information that you might want to look at concerning Effexor withdrawals.
Pristiq is a newer drug and you might also want to check out their official site here.
Here is a drug interaction checker if you want to look up possible interactions between Ritalin and Prestiq.
The main thing I want to tell you is that the best person to answer your question is going to be your doctor.
Thank you for your question!
