High hematocrit but blood pressure is not bad

You can try altering your diet. I was able to lower mine slightly by eating less red meat, decreased the amount of spinach I ate, etc. My Hct was high pre-TRT, but I've worked and managed to keep it a shade lower Hydration is important as well.
What were your last TRT lab values?
Also, you may need to get your Dr. to write you for a therapeutic draw to get you down closer to 50% and then monitor frequently and see how you respond.
Once you get it in range, I have found it easier.to stay in range. I do my best to keep my Hct under 53%, although it has been higher I didn't allow it to stay at that level.

Personally, I would get the hematocrit down a tad more via self-phlebotomy if necessary, Start at 75-100mg/week split.into 2 injections and pull Hgb, Hct, Total and freeT, and E2 labs in 4-6 weeks. Run the minimum amount of test necessary to keep you feeling right/somewhat towards the upper end of the range for your free T.
There are other guys will more experience than I that will post up I'm sure.
Personally, I wouldn't just drop completely off of the test for now either. I would just run a low end dose. No use putting your body through a roller coaster by depriving it.completely of test.
Although your Hct is high, I wouldn't panic, I would just address and correct it.Also, hydrate, hydrate, and then hydrate some more.
For what it is worth, my Hct has been a good bit higher through no one's fault but my own, and I was able to correct it via self phlebotomy and several CBCs. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way advocating that anyone should maintain an elevated Hct, just sharing my experience and how I corrected it.
My Dr. is relatively decent about keeping a standing order in my file for a CBC when I request it because I have some genetic clotting issues.
