First of all, I am very sorry for your difficulties.
I think the first step anyone with anxiety and panic symptoms should take is be evaluated by a doctor. The plan of action to treat these symptoms goes from there. A number of physical problems can cause such symptoms. If this is ruled an anxiety problem, hopefully, you can find a doctor willing to work with you on a good treatment. .. and there are a number of treatment options.
I think any substance or therapy making claims to extreme effectiveness for everyone needs to be looked at with a bit of caution. Not necessarily that they are dangerous, but do they really work? That being said, there are a number of suppliments and complimentary therapies that do help.
Mental health disorders are complex and require a measure of professional attention to be treated effectively. Going it alone, in my opinion, isn't the best option.
I understand greatly these problems from a personal standpoint. I understand how your life, quality of life, livelyhood, and such are effected.
My advice is to seek help that will REALLY help you. There is good treatment to be found.
Good Luck to you.
Kelly
