Panic attacks stop me driving

I really suffer from insomnia which in turn sets of my panic attacks even more. I started a new job a few months ago but its at a place you have to drive to as there are no buses. I've called in sick so many times when iv not slept or I've been having panic attacks which have stopped me from driving that I've been fired after couple of months. I've just come off of the worst possible medication for side effects which is Trazodone which intensified it all that I really want to warn people not to take it. My life has been ruined because the insomnia and panic attacks which have gotten worse since trazodone that i have lost the battle once again to live a normal life
