Does anyone take short breaks from TRT?

Wow, a clinic put you on that protocol with those baseline numbers? I have no clue what would warrant 200mg/wk and all that HCG when your test is almost 500 and your LH value is above 6. Your E2 was high, and I suspect your SHGB was also elevated. However, just by lowering the E2 and SHBG could have probably put you up where a lot of guys are at on TRT, but with keeping your natty alive. Well, so much for that thought.

I know a Dr./Clinic that practices a similar program. Their concept is to give the body a break from the exogenous testosterone and to basically do a detox. I don't subscribe to this practice, but there are places that do it. Usually they'll load you up on HCG during this time so that you don't crash. If you go cold turkey, you're going to really see what it feels like to get in a low place. Crashing is never fun. Your LH will suppress to nil, and you'll find your test levels to be in the 100's or low 200's. It won't be fun!

You haven't driven with me when I open the throttle ... That is when it will get scary

It looks like you just needed to free up some of your bio-available "T".

Help

I don’t know what to do anymore.

I went to this clinic because I had a few of this
Andropause side effects that’s why I started trt and
now you are telling me that just by lowering the E2 and SHBG
I would have gotten into the higher end ?
Now I’m taking all of this medication.


Shall I stop trt go on pct and as soon as my own
testo level is back treat my E2 and SHBG ?

But I feel very good ..I am full of energy and in
a good mood.. my muscle mass is back and the
fat around my mid section is melting away too.

I don’t know if I would get that all just by lowering
E2 and SHBG ????

I am in a stupid situation right now.

Yes, Vetteman *is* scary. He's done it to me a couple times too. The man knows his stuff. The good news is, if what he suspects is true, then lowering your SHBG and E2 is pretty simple and not something you'd have to do for life; unlike TRT. You may just need to test every so often and make small adjustments when needed to keep you on track. I'm hoping for your sake that's the case. Fingers crossed. It's far better than being a *lifer* on TRT.

No doubt... Vette is Yoda... when you think you have learned it all and think you have it all down pat in your mind how TRT is .... sit back and watch him explain something that makes you realize pretty quick that he has forgotten more than you know..

I am very thankful for this board and for vette and his word of wisdom to me personally from time to time.. Rock on vetteman

Thanks for the kind words you guys. I'm just here to learn and share like everyone else. We all grow stronger learning from each other.

Respect
