question from a user
How do you recommend coming off TRT if you have been on for many years?
AlphaMD's Answer
A combination of Clomid/Enclomiphene & HCG is usually ideal. It would be fine to start those up while still on TRT for a few weeks if it's all planned, then stop Testosterone completely. Testosterone isn't a medication that you ween off of, as any amount still causes suppression. Just note that although you will recover to your normal T production, you will still have aged while on TRT, and all natural T production reduces with age. This means that you will be lower natural T than before you started TRT due to the natural aging and your low T symptoms will return.
