To me, your problems sounds like you could either have akathisia (more common with anti-psychotics, but it does pop up now and then with anti-depressants) or possibly a mildly hypomanic reaction. Either way, I'd recommend a new antidepressant, as soon as possible. Effexor washout certainly isn't fun, but neither is akathisia. Personally, I've found cymbalta to be effexor-like (and kind of tricyclic-like) without as many side-effects...other people find combos, like lexapro and wellbutrin, do the trick as well.
