>Huh... My psychopharmacologist suggested it would be a good choice, because it is so helpful for anxiety...

Yeah, sad to say this wasn't my experience. YMMV but I'm pretty sure most of the people here who took EMSAM found it to have no effect on or increase overall anxiety as well. Anything that metabolizes to peripheral amphetamines like EMSAM does I would think has a propensity for jitters.

I'm curious, where did your guy hear/on what basis does he think EMSAM is helpful in this indication, compared to any other MAOI? IMO The king of anti-anxiety MAOIs (or antidepressants in general) remains Nardil, and it's because of activity at GABA transaminase.

I took it at 6mg for a month, and 9mg for two months. I took Ambien CR for sleep, and for a week or two I trialed transdermal nicotine for additional help with focus but for me this wasn't too successful.

Anyway, there are some pretty long threads on EMSAM here in the archives it might be worth searching. I wish you luck.

My next attempt at medication: low-dose selegiline, amineptine, and gotu kola. I expect this to be very successful.
