I would personally blame the effexor on a bunch of your current problems namely the heart palpititions and insomnia.
Sleep deprivation can cause mood swings in anybody, and if the effexor is contributing to the insomnia then I wouldn't jump to conclusions.
Work on finding medication that has you sleeping deep and feeling refreshed, and then if you are still experiencing significant mood swings then go from there.
I don't consider myself bipolar because without medication my mood is very stable. Effexor was the worst for me since it caused instability secondary to the insomnia. It also caused heart palpititions and an increase in blood pressure.I know you're not me, but I just thought I'd share.
