Getting ready to stop TRT.... What do I need to know?

I'm on Bupropion HCl extended-release tabs of 150 mg from Slate Run Pharmaceuticals, so not Wellbutrin. I'm not sure how long it took, but I feel it was only a couple of weeks, almost definitely less than a month. What I am sure of is that my behavior and outlook by month two were night-and-day...

Calling All Long-Term TRT Users! How is Your Libido and Sexual Function?

Starting HRT, Mainly for Libido
