[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 235725, member: 2450"] What is important is your personal experience, not others'. Different people react differently. I personally do not react well at all to a heavy drop in testosterone, others don't react as bad. Your long term health is the most important. Even if you stop for two weeks to see if the bloods improve it's not going to harm you in the long term (or even short term). You will just start feeling a bit down in my opinion. Or maybe you will freak out lol. What is strange to me though is that your doctor is taking you off cold turkey when you are on a therapeutic dose. Yeah you have some stuff out of range, but it's not like way off the charts.... You are just SLIGHTLY out of range on all those marked blood test markers. Additionally, your BMI and blood pressure are good. BP is basically nearly perfect. Being 65 with BP like that, that's very good news! To me personally it would make more sense to halve the dose and see how that feels for two weeks and run bloods again. This is also one blood test alone. Sometimes there are flukes, it could happen. If something is really concerning, it's wise to run at least one additional test to confirm those findings (assuming it's not an emergency like insanely high blood pressure or whatever). I am not your physician though, so who knows maybe she sees something in the larger picture here that we do not. [/QUOTE]
