Woke up so incredibly symptomatic that I am physically ill and can barely function. At all. How do I get better?

I desperately need help. I'm on a SSRI for depression and anxiety, I have a low dose benzo prescribed as a rescue med for panic attacks and days like today, where without it all I'm capable of doing is crying until I throw up.

I got shit sleep, had non stop nocturnal panic attacks. Woke up shivering. Nauseous. Diarrhea. Can barely make myself eat. I'm pouring sweat, and have cold chills. I have constant racing intrusive thoughts and keep crying in bursts. I'm do depressed I feel absolutely hollow.

I TAKE my meds. I do the therapy exercises. I journal. I try to get the best sleep I can. I take vitamins to help. I'm working on healing my relationship. I'm working on healing the cptsd trauma responses. But this can't be all there is. This can't be as good as I can get. I NEED to function better than this. I need to be able to go get another job and hold it down.

Do you think I should ask my doctor about a med change? I need help!!!!
