Sounds like it may be too stimulating for you since you already had insomnia before starting Emsam. But perhaps cutting it in half may be a good solution to see if it reduces your anxiety. It may just not be a good med for you. Some cause sedation and some cause anxiety and there's no sense feeling worse than you already do.
I don't have too many other recommendations for AD's, but the SSRI's were definately more sedating for me. I had good luck with Celexa and Paxil for awhile, Prozac was very good for anxiety. I took at night since they made me tired if i took during the day. I tried Cymbalta recently, but it made me feel more depressed, but it might help you since your depression has alot of anxiety.
Do not take Wellbutrin as it can also cause anxiety. I cna't remember what other meds you've tried.
