Apart from the medications has your doctor helped you go through the reason and resolution of the panic attacks and anxiety? This is very crucial as medicines will give you short term relief but not a permanent solution. As for the medications please communicate to your doctor how you are feeling and see whether he offers you a change of dosage or alternate medicines.
Next Steps
It would be wise to take therapy along side the medications to help resolve your issues more permanently and live more fully.
