It is a decision, but, I wouldn't say it's a "big" one. It is possible to come off TRT, though it's a long ramp-down period. The TRT itself isn't really a hassle, I just poke myself in the butt twice a week. I've worked it into my morning routine: shave, shower, teeth, poke.

I was like you before I started TRT, super hesitant, and worried I would just be poisoning myself. A good friend of mine kept pushing me to try, and I can't say I have any regrets.

For me personally, I wouldn't want to come off TRT, I feel so much better consistently. IMHO, there are no downsides, at least none yet that I've experienced.

My level came back at 305 so they won’t offer any treatment.
That's still quite low. As I mentioned in a previous comment, my family doctor wouldn't persribe TRT even though I was outside of the "normal" range. I ended up having to go to a "mens health clinic", who are much more liberal with handing out prescriptions.
Not sure if you will see this but on the chance you do I was hoping you could get in touch with me directly as I would really like to talk to someone on TRT to ask some questions. If possible could you drop me an email? You can email my username [redacated] at gmail. Many thanks!
