Hi Dr. Rotman, Appreciate your advice! I've been on TRT for 6 months and have made the decision to discontinue it. I'm a 43 yo healthy male and I was put on it even though my total test was at 600 or so prior to starting. (Risks and lifelong dependency issues were never discussed when starting!)...
