What Causes Anxiety Despite Taking Anti-depressants?

hi currently i'm taking antidepressant a 3 month medication for my social anxiety disorder prescribed by my doctor. but i noticed that it doesn't work at all, and i don't feel happy about taking it. it's been more than 4 weeks and i still feel socially anxious, i thought about quitting the medicine since it's just a waste of money and time, I told my doctor about it but he won't let met stop taking them, should i quit or should i give it another chance?
