can i self cure my anxiety/panic disorder?

i get my attacks at anytime anywhere. they just come out of the blue. i can’t figure out what triggers them. i tried therapy, i’m on meds now, 10 mg celexa. the thing that races through my mind while i’m having my attacks is my heart is pounding, i’m going to have a heart attack and die. can any one please give me any techniques, besides the breathing, and imagination thing. thanks!

Please, i Really could use some advice, mental illness with new symptoms?

I am a 20 year old female, whom has a history of mental illness and alcoholism along with some substance abuse (nothing hard mainly benzo popper) I have been clean and sober since october 17th 2009, i am actively being treated for Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-polar disorder, and a general anxiety disorder. I am not looking for a diagnoses because i will see my therapist on wednesday just looking for some advice, maybe someone who is experienced in all of this. anyway im experiencing symptoms, such as paranoia (feeling as if someone is watching me, standing behind me,even in large crowds, etc) also some auditory hallucinations (im hearing mice and laughter.. not all the time mostly at night) it wakes me up and i start panicking and wake my poor fiance who hears nothing. Ive never ever experienced these things before. im also having very vivid nightmare where im being killed or in dangerous situations and wake up feeling like they’re so real and again start to panic. when im feeling paranoid im feeling in danger as if someone is going to hurt me. i don’t want to believe these things and my head is telling me they’re ridiculous but my feelings are very strong. I lead a very normal life other than these things, i dont work and am under a bit of stress financially but have been for a long time, also i am 60 mgs of celexa once a day if that helps, im just looking for some advice and maybe just some words something to grab onto. thanks everyone

Will I gain weight on Celexa?

I have General anxiety disorder and Social anxiety disorder. I’ve never taken any anti-depressants before, but yesterday my doctor prescribed me Citalophram or whatever, which is Celexa.

He’s starting me on half a pill a day, which is 10mgs. Will I gain weight? I’ve read stories on here of people gaining 20-90 pounds, which is ridiculous. I’m scared of taking it because I don’t want to gain weight.

Extreme blushing, social anxiety disorder, has anyone..?

overcome it?

I’m an 18 y/o female and I’ve been social phobic for almost my whole life, but of course it started surfacing more as I got older, maybe around 9th grade and continued to get worse, although I did not lessen my exposure to people/public speaking.

I guess I’m just looking into what treatment is best. I tried SSRI’s (prozac and then I tried celexa, but somewhat low doses) and they provided very minimal relief. I’m currently on nothing now. I was getting therapy for general anxiety/stress but haven’t for blushing/social phobia specifically. Should I try that before I try another medication? Any natural remedies?

Any help/inspirational stories would be great….SAD is ruining my life and stopping me from doing things I want to do :[
