That looks to me like it should have a higher than average chance of efficacy.

That said, I might favor zoloft first choice, and savella second choice, over effexor. For a couple reasons. Equal chance of effectiveness, maybe even more so with savella.....also, drug and liver interactions lowest....and finally, if it doesn't work out, the withdrawal syndrome getting off the chosen med would be much tamer on zoloft or savella compared to effexor. Effexor is almost always extra nasty when trying to get off it, compared to most other meds.

So I think adding effexor looks attractive, it's just that I think two other choices look more attractive than that.
