I've been looking for info on this for a while now but cant seem to find any and it might be months before I can get a hold of my endochrinologist, thought it's worth asking here.

Due to the nature of intramuscular injection's slow absorption, would one have to reduce dosage at next time of injection or since it absorbs very slow, can one stop by not injecting the next time?

Does anyone have any resources on this?

Thanks

The half-life of T-Cyp is about 8 days.  While you could just stop injecting it would be much more comfortable to take around 6 weeks to stop completely.  Make it easy on yourself by cutting the amount to about 3/4 of your regular dose then 1/2 etc.   You might also space out your injections a little more.

Give your body time to adjust to the new environment.

As a hypogonadic male I took T-Cyp for years before deciding it wasn't what I needed.
