When I first started seeing my p-doc she recommended that I wean off of caffeine. I was on effexor for about a year and a half before it pooped out for me, but I found that it felt like it exaggerated the effects of caffeine in me; to the point of becoming anxious for about 4 hours after a cup and a half of regular coffee. Now I drink half decaf and half real stuff in the morning at home, about a cup and a half, and that is it for the day. No caffinated sodas or tea. I'm a water person but there are many other alternatives you can try.
I would slowly wean off the caffeine over several weeks and see if the effexor is working better for you. Some people can stop cold turkey but that gave me incredible migraines.
