dear user,
The condition you are describing could be anxiety with mild panic attack and as you described it can be very distressing. The medications (antidepressants) prescribed are correct and I hope you are continuing them; however since you are not feeling better you might need a higher dose, or addition of a temporary medication to tide over these episodes. Also since the problem has come back after taking medications, its advisable to visit a counselor and start some counselling/ therapy. This will help you get to the root of your problem and help deal with stress better.
Hope you find this helpful.
