It could be a problem with one or both derailleurs rather than the shifters.
I had lots of problems with the front derailleur on my old road bike. It constantly needed adjusting and never shifted smoothly. Eventually it broke while the LBS mechanic was adjusting it, and he felt responsible so he replaced it, but the only one they had in the shop was a better quality one so that's what he gave me. After that the bike shifted much better and only needed adjustments once or twice a year to keep things working well.
