Do you take a benzo now for anxiety? EMSAM has given me energy, made me sharper more alert, but I was already getting anxiety relief from klonopin. I don't really know how much it has helped specifically for anxiety, but it's not making it worse.
It was the two meds combined that has worked so well for me (I also have SAD and GAD). I would suspect that EMSAM alone, without a benzo may not be the total solution for GAD/SAD, but maybe. Everyone is different and some do well on Parnate for anxiety and its very activating I hear.
Anyway, I wouldn't stress to much, if you don't like the way you're feeling you can take the patch off and since selegiline has such a short half life your side effects, if any, should go away quickly. Good luck. Rob
