It sounds like you suffer from social anxiety. You really need to see your Dr. and tell him/her what is happening and that you don’t feel like the medication is working. Wellbutrin XL is a better bet for the depression and probably clonazapam for the anxiety from my experience. Ask your Dr. That is of the utmost importance. Good luck and God bless.

Is a psychiatrist specialized in these disorders supervising your meds or just your GP? If you aren’t seeing a psychiatrist I’d advice consulting one It’s always best to get treatment from people with the most direct experience with what you are dealing with.
They could put you on Xanax for anxiety, it is a benzodiazapine. Benzos are really effective but the problem with them is that they can have a zombifying effect, "numbing people out" to where their personality is affected. Still they are still sometimes used for severe anxiety.
Are you on stimulant meds for ADD, I use a combination of concerta for ADHD and lexapro for anxiety.
Have you received therapy for the anxiety attacks? Behavioral and cognitive therapy is normally very affective in treating anxiety problems. Here is a URL that can help you find a behavioral/cognitive therapist:

One last thought, I hope you don’t smoke marijuana, I was a daily pot-user for 5 years until I figured out that the natural amotivated nature of ADD is SEVERELY exacerbated by the additional amotivational affects from the cannabis.
Good luck.
