I also take effexor, and was taking ritalin for a long time. It helped. The one thing to look out for, though, is "rebound"----when the dose wears off, it can cause, in some people, irritability, depressed mood, etc. The rebound happens because it has such a short action time.
I did not like the rebound feeling, so I switched to the sustained release form of ritalin, but didn't feel this worked as well, because it delivers a smaller amount of medicine over a longer time, ie, more smoothly, less peaks and valleys, but it didn't seem to be enough for me. I switched recently to Adderall, which seems to work better for me.
Good luck.
