Thanks for posting your query.
You are already taking antianxiety medicines for the panic attacks and they may need dose adjustment if the panic attacks continue. However you can also benefit from cognitive behavior therapy for which you should consult a psychiatrist.
Apart from that, follow these lifestyle emasures for a relief from symptoms:
1) Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol as they can worsen panic attacks.
