It seems like a paradox, Phillipa, but amphetamine-like substances can help with anxiety and states of agitation. That's why that work with ADHD. They seem to produce a calmer, more focussed state of mind, where people can concentrate and not be so jumpy and easily distracted.
Selegeline, in general, at the right dose seems to reduce anxiety, although at too high a dose, it can reintroduce it.
That's why sticking with it for a while until you get used to the dose is important. At first, it might make you a little more anxious, or irritable.. As you get used to it, that fades and more positive feelings, and better concentration and energy predominate.
When you do try it, I'm sure we can give you lots of support with some of the worries you have---even if, as may not happen-- there are a few rough spots.
It's not a sure thing-- nothing is-- but emsam is really worth a try.
