I've just been informed by my doctor that I can start T as soon as I want to...the catch being, of course, that I have to actually decide for sure that I want to. But at this time, it's entirely up to me...I just have to let him know and he'll order it for me.

So now I'm trying to do as much research on it as humanly possible, to get some idea of what the hell is going to happen to this crazy body I've been living in for 21 years if I start fiddling with my hormone balance. I have a pretty good idea about the physical stuff, and I imagine the mental/emotional stuff will be individual to me since everyone's different. A lot of the things I'm looking to learn more about have been well covered in this community already...the post-tagging thing is abundantly awesome!

But I have a question I haven't really found any information on yet, and I'm wondering if anyone here can say anything about it. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with going on T, disliking the experience, and then deciding to stop taking it. What physical/emotional/mental effects did you have that you liked/disliked? Did they go away when you stopped taking it? If your voice changed, did it go back? How reversible did you find the changes? How much T were you taking when you decided to stop, and how long had you been taking it? How long did it take for the changes that reversed to do so?

Thanks so much.
