i went up to 60mg Celexa until it started to work for me, and yes the only reason to fear a manic episode from an SSRI is if you are bipolar (does your doc suspect this? I would ask your doc straight out) otherwise just ask to build up the dosage slowly until it helps, if it never helps then try something else
cbt helped me alot, always remember that if there is no actual emergency occuring at the moment when you are panicking then all you're symptoms are just an inappropriate hyper-adrenaline response, and the more you realize that and learn it and remember it then the more your cortex will gain control over your oversensitive amygdala which will then hopefully temper your amygdala from triggering your HPA axis to release excessive amounts of adrenaline at inappropriate times
