EMSAM should not have the apathetic or sexual side-effects common to the SSRIs. Actually, most people find the pill form of selegiline quite pro-sexual (I think I noticed it a little on EMSAM, but not as much as the oral form). I'm not really sure what you mean about the serotonin effects from SSRIs, but that's probably just because they've never really worked for me.
It's interesting what you said about Effexor/Wellbutrin cancelling the effects of buprenorphine, I've never heard that. I think bup may be my next step, but I'll have to wait until my sleep/narcolepsy stuff is treated and see how that goes.
I've thought about CBT, too. I know it's supposed to be quite effective but I'm not sure if I really have the time to invest in it (which is silly, because I have an enormous amount of free time compared to most people... it all just seems to get used up).
I hope you're doing well on the EMSAM.
