Jrbecker is right, it sounds like classic melancholic depression. Effexor is a good treatment for this, but TCA's have long been considered the best treatment for this condition. Most of them are fairly sedating, unlike Effexor, and you can take them at night and they gradually begin to regulate your sleep. Also the seronin effect of the newer drugs is more pronounced, which can also worsen the agitation in the beginning of treatment.
