question from a user
My doctor put me on 25mg every other week for three months then off for six weeks. I know it’s pretty low test wise. His reasoning is he doesn’t want me to completely stop producing testosterone. Is it normal to cycle like that? I’m on the fourth week off and I feel like complete shit. Haven’t even felt like lifting for the past week or so. No energy, I get home from work and straight to the couch.

Any exogenous testosterone will completely shut down your natural production. Even if he gave you 5mg it would completely shut down your natural production. This protocol you are on makes no physiologic sense. You feel terrible now because your testosterone level now is zero, or near zero.
Please find another doctor to manage this problem.
