Afraid to start due to panic attacks

6’1, 185lbs. Lost about 25lbs. BF at 18%, work out daily. 35 years old

I was tested with low t last summer. 2 tests showed 198 and 295 on two occasions. I have hypertension and type 2 diabetes which both are well managed. I take telmisartan 80mg, nebivolol 5mg and mounjaro 12.5mg. SHBG is low, 17. Free T is relatively high because of that. Middle of the range, around 20.

I never had panic attack till I was in my 20s. Smoked green as usual, then one day, I had the worst panic attack. After that, I had frequent attacks here and there, subsided, didn’t have one for a while then started having one again in 2018 and I would have one here and there. I am usually pretty decent at controlling it to not get full blown but am still very terrified of getting one.

I have about 8 vials of 200mg/ml test c at home from my endo that I don’t see anymore. I really wanna start. I have lack of energy, lack of libido, ED (which I started tadalafil 5mg daily last week which works), not enough progress at the gym and I also have high amount of visceral fats, even though I look somewhat lean at the moment. I feel like all the things combined, I could really benefit from TRT.

I’ve loaded test c into 30g syringe to stick into my stomach and stopped because I chickened out for the past 8 months. It’s still sitting at home, at work, ready to be injected.

Stupid protocol from the doctor, wanted me to get on 150mg every 2 week. I was going to start with 10mg ED protocol. No matter what, I am scared of having to deal with panic attack. More so than what I can handle to overcome. Anyone with similar stories that succeeded? Similar T level, age, SHBG and history of panic attacks induced by weed then stuck with you. I wanna feel better, I really do.

Is this mostly related to a fear of needles or worries about self-injecting?

Neither honestly. I do just fine injecting mounjaro.

Try a delt shot with an insulin pin OR sub q in the flanks.
