The anxiety is common as is the doctor's view that your problem is anxiety. The problem with that diagnosis is PCS causes anxiety to manifest in many.

Many have done well on SSRI's or SNRI's. I was on Paxil for 14 years, got off, had a bad event and went on Celexa for 6 or 8 months.

When I went off the Paxil, I replaced it with L-Tryptophan. When I went off the Celexa, I replaced it with L-Tryptophan (500mgs), L-Theanine (200 mgs) and 5-HTP (100 mgs) I take the L-Tryptophan mid day with my vitamin regimen. I take the L-Theanine and 5-HTP first thing when I get up.

I don't have any of the side-effects of an SSRI with the supplements I am taking. The body already uses L-Tryptophan, L-Theanine, and 5-HPT so I am only increasing the availability.

It may be helpful to try to understand why you struggle with driving. Are you overwhelmed with all of the traffic and pedestrians moving about that you need to track ? Is everything moving too fast ?

I do very little driving because my mind can easily lose focus on the task of driving. Too much stimulation that can distract me. But, that is just me. I doubt many have a similar struggle.

So, consider an SSRI or SNRI with the goal of a short period to get back to normal activity levels, driving etc, then tapering off. It could be only 6 months. If you can find a specialist who understands PCS anxiety and SSRI's, that would be helpful.

My best to you.
