It sounds like you're going through a lot at the moment, but you've come to the right place, this is a really supportive and friendly community.
Have you explored the possibility of counselling for your partner? It's a shame the last few tablets haven't had much impact on him, it might be worth discussing with your GP about other ways in which the mental health can be tackled.

As the others have suggested, speaking to a GP would be your best best. There are quite a few different medications that can be used to treat conditions such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety, so it could take a bit of time to find a combination that works.
As Ross mentioned, counselling or therapy could also be a good option for both you and your partner. Is your panic disorder and stress disorder under control at the moment?
Just to let you know, I've moved your post into the mental health issues category, and renamed it slightly, so that other members will be able to find it more easily.
