I felt the exact way you describe on Wellbutrin. I know Effexor targets norepiphrine which can cause anxiety/racey feeling in some people (does in me).
I think it's from the Effexor increase. I would call your doctor and tell her right away.
If you feel more agitated (weird feelings like you want to crawl out of your skin), you could have akathasia. I had that from Lexapro and I thought for sure I was going insane.
Call your doctor, you may need to go back down to a lower dose or stop the Effexor altogether.
