Wren, if the Effexor is starting to work for your depression (do you feel better than before you started it?), it does take many weeks to feel its full benefits. You might ask your doctor about adding Wellbutrin to the mix as it's a similar medication that is often prescribed to give you a boost in energy if you're still lethargic.
I am a poster child for Effexor. It has helped me maintain a full time job, albeit not a particularly challenging one.
Good luck, and definitely check the Social board.
