Cecilia:
I'm don't know you're diagnosis, but in reading the meds you've tried I can certainly understand how discuraged you must feel. I too have had little help with any medicine besides klonopin for my social and generalized anxiety.
But some people who feel depressed, tired, moody, trouble concentrating, anxious, etc. (not saying that's you) are perscribed medicines such as those you've tried (with no help) when in fact are not properly diagonosed with sleep apnea. My brother is one of those and I have a mild case. I now sleep with a CPAP machine which has helped my mood, energy and mental clarity. I'm less anxious too.
I'm just throwing it out there as a thought. If you are aware that you snore, even a little or if you or someone else has noticed you gasp for air at night, you might want to get checked and rule that out.
Otherwise, perhaps your trial with EMSAM will help. I'll be trying it as well. Best of luck to you.....
