I actually agree with JJ on most of this. I too was on a shelfful of meds for panic attacks, hiatal hernia, vertigo, chronic sinus infections, GERD and muscle inflammations. Every single one of those ailments were self-originated.
It took my utter disgust for what was before me on that shelf-bottles and bottles of medications-that made me go to a therapist specializing in what my particular problem was. She taught me how to deal with my behaviors, how to change my mindset and understand why I was the way I was. When she felt I was able to cope and I agreed, I threw out those bottles. It was a feeling of freedom that to this day is hard to match.
I strongly reccomend you find someone who can help you change your mindset, not medicate it. Meds are bandaids in all but the most severe of cases, ie; schizophrenia or true bipolarism. You appear not to suffer from a chemical imbalance, but behavior imbalances. (This is where I disagree-I do think there are legit chemical/wiring imbalances, not just as much as we are lead to believe)
Look, we all slam our fists, shout obscenities, etc. because we're human. We lie to protect ourselves from truth. We have breaking points, we have weaknesses and we have to learn to deal with them, not mask them under some mind-altering pill or worse.
