Can Trazodone cause seizures or panic attacks?

I am prescribed Adderall and have been on it for about 2 months, I have never had a seizure or anything similar to it. I got a new (same dose) prescription for Adderall, along with one for Trazodone (my doctor told me to take half the Adderall dose at 5PM if I had to work a night shift) for sleep. Now, I took Adderall as normal, and had to work a night shift on Friday. I took the Trazodone when I got home, at around 1030PM. My doctor told me to take another a half hour later if I didn't feel tired, and I didn't feel tired so I took the second dose (100mg total). Here's what happened: I don't even know if this is a seizure. As I was pouring the water I felt extremely drowsy and dropped the glass in the sink, and my vision turned white-ish, like I was looking into a bright light, and I saw dots and my hands started trembling, I felt really heavy and fell to the floor and I could not breathe for about 5-10 minutes, I knew this was nothing serious because I'm 19 and in good health and I researched the new drug and it couldn't possibly cause death, so I didn't call 9-11. Then in about what seemed like 1-2 minutes but was actually 15-20 minutes I got up, and felt completely normal and exhausted ready to sleep. My question is: what is this? A seizure or panic attack or something else? And second: can Trazodone cause it?
