welcome to healthcaremagic
generally theses group of drugs take about 21days to act if it is taken properly..in your case u either need to increase the dose or change your medications..consult a good psychiatrist..
Following points that can be considered:
1. Ensuring proper compliance (skipping doses and discontinuing medication once in a while does not help)
2. Second opinion for review of diagnosis (all good doctors welcome second opinion in difficult cases who are not responding to treatment)
3. Addition of non pharmacological methods of treatment (like cognitive behaviour therapy for panic disorder)
4. Addressing on going stressors which may be contributing to the illness
5. Good family support and occupational rehabilitation always helps
