It was immediate. My testosterone levels rose and my blood values normalized . We began reducing added testosterone until blood levels dropped to 100 or so. When we stopped with testosterone injections, but testosterone dropped back to zero, but my blood values remained barely in range on the low side.
I wonder if the purpose of ADT is to compromise the body's capacity to produce testosterone in 'normal' amounts ever. For a person my age (74) it would kind of make sense, except for the concerns that I have about muscle loss. I would like to know if there is a way of significantly slowing muscle loss. I've seen some things on YouTube, that I've since lost track of, that involved taking supplements. Does anyone have any knowledge on this question.
