How soon does sleep apnea/upper airway growth reverse after stopping TRT? I have another drug induced sleep endoscopy coming up, my last test cyp pin was 1/31/2024. But I’ve been taking enclophimine.

AlphaMD's Answer

Sleep apnea and TRT have an interesting relationship. There is a time-dependent influence on obstructive sleep apnea, where it can worsen OSA in the beginning, but over time it actually improves the sleep apnea. The general rule is that if you are already on CPAP for your sleep apnea, then TRT can be safely started. If you are not on CPAP and have OSA, then you may want to wait to start TRT.

The testosterone cypionate will be entirely out of your system in approximately 5 weeks, so you should have no remaining exogenous testosterone in your system at this time.

There are no published studies on enclomiphene and sleep apnea, though there is an ongoing trial currently of clomiphene and sleep apnea.
