Guess I will just have to wait to explode and have a manic episode.

That is not mania, and who ever told you it was had rocks in their head.
Those are normal thought processes for some people.
What things have been happening in your life lately? Why do you want to take antidepressants?
Effexor is a tough drug to come off if it *does* trigger mania, or if it doesnt work (as in 3 weeks in a psyc ward with the worst withdrawls you can imagine tough). So think carefully before you take it.
Do you have a therapist? Have you tried simple CBT? You seem to be capable enough in your thought process.
