If you are tolerating the effexor well, I would suggest going up in dosage. Effexor did nothing for me until I reached 300 mg, and it was most effective at 400-450 mg. I personally think that the low doses of effexor that are frequently prescribed are much less effective.
Also, 3 weeks isn't quite enough (especially at that dose) to really begin feeling better; you need to give it a bit more time.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon...
