I was on ADT for 5 years and it took 9 months for the testosterone to begin.

Julian – Houston · 7:47 PM
I got off all my medications 1 year ago and testosterone is at 125 last month.

Jim Marshall, Melbourne, FL · 7:49 PM
After 15 months the testosterone has trended down from 144 for the last 3 months. Interesting.

Julian – Houston · 7:50 PM
About the same, testosterone went up to 155 and came back down to 125.
