I think you'd prefer tianeptine over EMSAM. EMSAM might make you nervous, especially if you are prone to anxiety. Tianeptine has far fewer side effects. It has the least side effects of any drug I've tried (and I've tried a lot). :-)I hope you can give it a try. It'll take a few weeks for it to start working and is quite anxiolytic too (without producing sedation, so you are still alert).
It helps me to worry less and reduces/removes the little aches and pains I had due to anxiety and depression.
______________I agree with everything written above--if your criteria is low-side-effects, tianeptine is likely the way to go, though some people complain of headaches and sleep disturbance (not me). I'm normally very sensitive to various s/e, and it's the only med I take regularly, because it is not troublesome. It does tend to be anxiolytice without sedation, reduce sensitivity to pain, and improve mood. Some people complain it is not very powerful, but that complaint is there with most drugs, as far as I can tell.
Best of luck,
