Hi
Your illness is more of anxiety for which you are getting too many medicines already, if you practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques along with medicines you will be easily coming out of this problem. Medicines are never longterm, you can take on and off under doctor supervision. If you practice non pharmacological management like mindfulness, relaxation and lifestyle changes you can reduce the medicine load and ofcourse the side effects burden and dependency over medicines.
Next Steps
for practicing mindfulness and relaxation you can consult any psychologist or psychiatrist or you can practice at home watching you tube videos or joining yoga.

Since how long are you on these medicines? The doses of all 3 are less. What can be tried is to give 1 medicine in adequate dose, if that doesn't work then start the second medicine. All 3 at the same time may be a problem. Also, dose adjustments are needed.

You should wait for some more days atleast 2-3 weeks for the medicines to act /land if not relieved, can meet your psychiatrist and discuss.
