It's a toss up whether effexor will work for you. A priori the likelihood is about 50% (I think). If the effexor doesn't work you doctor should turn to benzos (In fact he/she should have started with that first). They have an excellent effectiveness record (>70% if adequate dosages are used), and have fewer unpleasant side effects than most ADs.
BTW are you seeing a GP or a psychiatrists. If the former I urge you to find a psychiatrist. They know a lot more about anxiety disorders than a GP does.
Feel Better,
