You are in for a hell of a crash then. Good luck with job hunting.
May I suggest using this app to track your bloodwork tests:

If u were just doing trt doses at 100-200 then u should be fine. Was a similar boat for me and I was on 200 eow which is like 100 week. Doc didn’t recommend me stopping but understood with $ problem said at the dose I was in I really didn’t need anything and I didn’t have any reaction other then getting a little more sluggish than i came used to. Now if u r just using the term trt but using high doses then Idk. Def not an expert in this field

Its been 4 weeks without any after doing 200mg every week for 3 years. I sleep like 2 hours a night and feel like im walking through sand all day. The extra anxiety isnt helping with my job and money situation either. ****ing insurance anyways

I know u r struggling right now but the sleeping u can try sedation, amnesia et al. Find a deal maybe a company would hook u up with logging op. For energy radiate is great, I hear great things about azoth too. Again maybe a logging op. For anxiety it’s tough, but try to eliminate the stuff that hasn’t happened yet, I’ve found a lot of my anxiety is irrational in base bc it has happened. Otherwise thinking along the lines that you’ve done the best you could do with what was available to u at the time, that thinking helps. And of course meditate and belly breath they’re game changers. Wish u the best

I stopped cold turkey as well when my hermatocrit hit 54. I didn't feel too much of a difference and my bloods about a month and a half later came back perfect. TRT is cheap though even without insurance. I paid $30 for 10ML which lasts me about 5 months. Without insurance it would have been $90.

It costs me ~$160 for 3 month supply of compounded T cream ... so a little more than $50/month. I could mow two lawns and make that much. Of course, you may need to add an AI to keep estradiol in balance. And you will need periodic lab work (I do mine every 6 months) but that isn't too expensive either. If there is a will, there is a way - especially if your doctor will write a script for legal compounded supplies.
I wish you the best of luck - I would not want to be in your position - but if I were, I guarantee you I would be giving up TV, alcohol, and any other discretionary spending plus hustling yardwork to ensure I maintained my hormonal levels ... I am a much more energetic, clear-headed, and stronger person with them than without (been on TRT for almost 10 years). - 04-16-2018, 12:59 PM

Agree. Get test cypionate, take your normal dose, maybe weekly or twice a week if you divide it up, and take control of what you can. Pay out of pocket for bloods and labs every six months. There are online vendors of bloods and labs that would be affordable. There are probably a few ancillary things you buys daily, coffee, magazines, fast foods etc that you could do without. Don’t let outside circumstances dictate your health. If this is important to you, then make it a priority.

I have been shown how cheap cyp can be had illegitimately. Even with goodrx and all that stuff the only cheaper option seems to be to get insurance again with another job.
Without breaking sourcing details can someone tell me some red flags to loom out for when getting test outside of a pharmacy? Or is that too far over the gray line? - 04-17-2018, 02:13 PM
