I have severe anxiety & occasional panic attcaks & these things have helped me:
Deepp breathing exercises every few hours(it's worth going to a class or consulting a book or searching google on how to do this properly). this has been the most effective.

I take a multi-vitamin (the B vitamins are very important)+magensium on empty stomach in the morning+ hemp oil capslues (for Omega 3,6,9), you can take falxeed or cod/fish oils but they have only omega 3 & 6+calcium citrate (this is the relaxing supplement); this site has good ones & they also have buy 1get 1 free offer at the moment):

I also use crystal thepry for paick attacks, SODALITE crystal is very good, (you can get it on Ebay), simply plcae on stomach or if you get panick attacks anywhere else, for a little while. But it's very important to cleanse it first or every few months (esp. after stressful times) as crystals absorb negative energy. Simply place in full moonlight or place in brown rice for 24 hours(you can eat the rice after) or under running water but the brwon rice is best I think.
Also drinking water is good.
Hope this helps,

Go see a chinese medicine doctor if you can, they are really good at dealing with this sort of illness.

Heart/Spleen Qi Deficiency: This Pattern of Disharmony manifests as anxiety, preoccupation, obsessive worry, aversion to speaking, palpitations, insomnia, fatigue, poor appetite, abdominal distention, a pale tongue, and weak pulse.

Lung Qi Deficiency: This Pattern of Disharmony manifests as anxiety, preoccupation, rapidly changing moods, an inability to "let go," aversion to speaking, shortness of breath, fatigue, sweating easily upon exertion, a weak cough, a pale tongue with a thin white coating, and a thin pulse.

* Liver Qi Stagnation Affecting the Spleen: This Pattern of Disharmony manifests as anxiety, preoccupation, feelings of irritability, moodiness, poor appetite, hypochondriac tightness or pain, muscular tension, fatigue, alternating constipation and loose stools, a pale or dusky tongue with distended sublingual veins, and a wiry-weak pulse.

* Kidney Qi Deficiency: This Pattern of Disharmony manifests as anxiety, preoccupation, feelings of fear and dread, and may be accompanied by lower back and knee weakness, lack of sexual responsiveness, a pale tongue, and a weak pulse.

Unless you know what you are doing taking herbs is a very dodgy thing to do because if take too much can upset the body seek a professional chinese medicine doctor. Give it a go you might be pleasantly surprised.
