Will lower dose by 50% drop T levels by 50%?

Stupid question, but if I'm taking 200mg T a week and TT is at 1400, would taking 100mg bring that down to 700?

Not so stupid a question. It's complicated by frequency of injection. If you simply inject 200mg once per week and go to 100mg once per week, then the answer is yes, it will be about half at the end of the injection cycle. This is shown in the first two graphs below. With 200mg 1X per week (when you should be doing your lab draw), you will have about 12.5mg molecular T being released per day. With 100mg 1X per week, you will have about 6.2mg released per day (about half).




If you take that same 100mg and break it up into 50mg every 3.5 days (2X per week), you will have about 8.2mg of molecular T being released per day on the day of your lab draw will be about 8,2mg/day (more than half)m which is shown in this 3rd graph.
