I was recently diagnosed with panic attacks. they are very powerful and very disabling. Now I think I am getting agoraphobia because I am afraid to go any place where I think the panic attack may occur. Basically I live in fear of another panic attack where I can't get home and be safe. I have had to stop driving. I see a cognitive-behaviorial therapist who is very positive and very fine. But I worry my problem is just too darn difficult. My psychiatrist has prescribed 15 mg of celexa, which doesn't seem to be enough, but she is afraid I may get manic if I get too much antidepressant. Is there anyone out there who has had painful panic attacks and who has had had luck treating them with a combination of medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy? If you take celexa how much do you take. Absolutely any posotive advice is greatly appreciated.
