My 14-year old son was prescribed Effexor XR after all else has failed. He has been on them all and suffers from depression, anxiety disorder and ADHD. His psychiatrist had an EEG done by a group in California who compares the brainwaves against other similar brain wave patterns to determine success/failure rates for various medications. He has experienced dizziness and nausea when increasing the Effexor, but otherwise seems to be fine, although I can't say it's helping him tremendously at this point. However, from what I'm reading here, it seems that it is very difficult to come off of this medicine, but he lost his meds while on a ski trip and didn't seem to miss a beat!
I'm not sure what the answers is, but I'm not sure it's Effexor!
