I forgot to mention this: Effexor and SSRIs tend to make people with anxiety or panic more anxious at first. The jitteriness goes away with time, but the first few weeks can be really hard unless you start at a very minimal dose and increase it very gradually. SSRIs and Effexor are more likely to cause this problem than tricyclics (or, I suspect, MAOIs) are.
