Exposure therapy: Find a therapist specializing in treating panic disorder. Especially helpful is exposure based therapy, where gradually, w/ the therapist's guidance, you repeatedly face the feared situations & symptoms of panic, along w/ relaxation techniques. Doing this over time, the physical sensations that accompany the panic feeling will no longer trigger a panic attack. Klonopin (clonazepam) is not a good solution.

Anxiety: It is quite likely you could helped by seeing a mental health professional who can help you understand the nature of your driving anxiety and help you desensitize yourself to your fear of the road. Some therapists will actually drive with you to help you control your worries as you drive. My best.
