Effexor sent me into a nasty agitated hypomania with a lot of self destructive urges. It's important to tell your doctor what's going on. Effexor might not be the right med for you. Even if he wants you to wait out the initial side effects (as mine did until I put my foot squarely down) he might be able to prescribe something else to get you through this time.
I gave up after close to three weeks. I lost over a month of productivity to Effexor. :(
Of course your mileage may vary and Effexor is a good medication for many. I just don't think you should take your symptoms lightly.
