Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your query AndroGel 1.62% is given in patients with low testosterone level as a Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Anxiety and panic attacks altogether known as Emotional Liability is a side effect of this medicine and you may be experiencing this due to consumption of this therapy..

I would suggest you to consult your doctor and have a detailed clinical checkup done so that he can help you with either changing of medicine or provide you with alternates to calm your anxiety and panic attacks..

Hope your query is solved..

Thanks and regards..
