Hello,

I understand your concern.
The low testosterone level is known to produce tiredness , loss of libido and erectile disorders. Since Nebido is a replacement therapy, it ought to make you feel better. Anxiety and panic attacks are not usual side effects of testosterone therapy. These may occur in a person who has a worrying nature and may be precipitated by any medicine he may take and not specifically testosterone.
Hope you get better soon.
You are welcome to contact me if you have further queries.
