Say for some reason there is a sudden scarcity of hormones?
What could be some of the physical and mental effect after 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 2 years... without hormones?

Ask any (predominantly younger) surgical-menopause natal-female...
Many 'normal' menopause women have very few syndromes and eventually get over them too.
So in any case it will differ some from person to person.
Over the long term you will get fat as your body will try and use body fat for E production, you will start to loose bone density after some years for sure, you will get plenty menopause syndromes like night sweats, hot and cold flushes, will feel not at your best, might get greasy skin and hair, might loose scalp air, have heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches, urinary frequency, etc. etc.
Or... hardly anything of the above.

Thank you. :D.. it's kind of funny because it sounds basically like every symptom I have right now?
I'm XXY, hence low-T, and recently I lost about 35 kg fat... and it begins to look like my body really really wants to hold on to her remaining E producing fat.

Stopping hormones 6 weeks before my op....... first week was ok
Then a month of hellish sweating, bouts of dizziness restlessness and generally feeling weird.
It had settled down a lot by the time I went for op 6 weeks later.
Long term, a body with near zero hormones in it is prone to serious bone decalcification
