Cold turkey to quit testosterone?
AlphaMD's Answer
We would generally advise against this, as it is fairly easy to work with either HCG, Clomid, or Enclomiphene to make the transition off of TRT easier/more pleasant. However, if you were to be looking to stop TRT & you don't want to use any other medications, cold turkey would start the process of coming off faster. Weening off of a dose does not really work with Testosterone, as most any amount of TRT is going to continue to cause natural production suppression. You'll just prolong the restart timer & make yourself feel longer by taking a "weening" approach.
