Getting Off TRT - Is it a Good Idea?

One of the most common comments or questions I get in my TRT related videos is going to be, "should I start taking TRT". Just as often I get the same comments or questions about "should I stop taking". In this video I talk about what might be happening when people have been on TRT for sometimes even a decade and then they all of a sudden decide they do not want to be on TRT anymore.
Most often the reason they give is because they don't want to be dependant on drugs, so in this case the Testosterone. Sure having to take a drug for probably the rest of your life is not an exciting prospect but you need to really weigh the benefits of the drug versus what This can lead to over thinking about the inconvenience factors of tacking a drug like having to inject every week and also the cost of purchasing it which with Testosterone is not really super expensive in TRT doses.
If you do decided to come off TRT, and you have been n it for a while, your body may not be able to make its own Testosterone anymore and the reason you may have gotten on TRT in the first place was because your body was not already making enough so that will not change now, if anything you will be completely shut down now and may not be able to make much of any of your own natural Testosterone.
Personally, I would strongly consider not coming off TRT if in the first place you really did need it, that is not going to change now even with proper sleep, eating, training and a healthy life style. If you went on TRT for esthetics reasons (so basically a high does TRT not as aggressive as body building doses), then again the artificial Testosterone will now have suppressed your bodies nature ability to produce Testosterone and you may now be in a situation where you are dependant on it.
That said, you will never know unless you come of the testosterone if your body can start making adequate levels of Testosterone but be prepared for that not to be the case.
