Did i hear you right when you said that you developed these anxiety symptoms AFTER being on Celexa? If so, your pill may be your problem.
Since you can't seem to tolerate drugs, I would suggest a book:
The Feeling Good Handbook by Dr. David Burns.
www.feelinggood.com
This has been of enormous help to me.
Before you balk, Burns has a PhD in psychiatry.
Good luck :)
