Emsam seems unexpectedly anxiolytic and pro-social, despite the energizing effects that show up early in treatment. I read a few abstracts that hinted that selegiline might produce an increased release of evoked DA and NE release. Perhaps it would be helpful for ADHD and concentration as well. If not, I don't see why amphetamine could not be added to it. Many people have been taking Klonopin with Emsam and having great success for treating depression with social anxiety.Good luck.
