From what I've read about it EMSAM hasn't impressed me that much. As MAOis go, EMSAM (selegiline) are pretty mild. If you are wanting to take an MAOi that might offer some stimulating effects, I suggest Parnate. If anxiety is the larger factor in your depressive symptoms, many people find the MAOi Nardil works best for them. When comparing Nardil and Parnate head to head, most people would say Parnate is more stimulating than Nardil and Nardil is associated with more incidence of weight-gain than Parnate.
