That was uncalled for and inappropriate.

I understand that your dog is trained, but your dog is obviously scared of something and it's giving her a lot of anxiety. You want to shrug off the issue and just give her drugs to deal with it. That is not addressing the issue. It sounds like she is really freaking out and on the verge of causing harm to herself and others by growling, and throwing herself against the vehicle interior.
If there ever was anyone else in your car, your dog could possibly redirect it's anxiety towards them if they are near and you happen to be driving near a diesel truck.
Asking for help on an internet message board will not solve the problem. This is not a simple 'sit' or 'stay' command that can easily be explained over the internet by non-professionals. This needs to be addressed by a professional. Your vet even told you that rehabilitation is a possibility... however you cannot rehabilitate your dog by yourself if you don't know what you are doing. You need a professional for that.
This is also something that won't be fixed overnight. It requires time and patience.. something that you don't seem to have if you just want to throw drugs at the problem
And you yourself keep reiterating that she's 10 years old... so what? It's completely possible to help your dog regardless of it's age. You make it sound like it's a lost cause trying to do anything to help her.
Your very first response to your thread was condescending which leads me to believe you pretty much already had in mind what you wanted to do anyway, you just wanted to hear it from someone else.
