I'm stopping my HRT yesterday I was supposed to take my injection and didn't I'm not happy with how it has been working. I'm impotent and horny and completely frustrated also I having prostate surgery the 30th and don't want it it grow. So how long will.it take for me to start feeling the effects of not taking testosterone and what should I expect to happen.

Depends what and how much you are using!?
2 Weeks generally I would think without more informations...

I think anything around the 2 week mark also.
Also I tend to suffer a bit from anxiety as well when I stop and am probably getting confused with this and the effects of quitting T.
When I did it last from what I can remember after a couple of months things started to settle down a bit.
I did keep up the gym workouts and going for runs during this and feel this helped.

I am not a Dr but 200mg seems like a lot (Assuming you were on Testosterone cypionate) 100mg is a more normal weekly amount for an average sized guy of 80Kg (12stone).
My clinic starts most guys off on 100mg and tweaks it from there.

I started with 100 mg 3 years ago and needed more ended up taking 200 mg testosterone cypionate every 7 days with a estrogen blocker twice a week now it's been a year since my first testicle was removed and the second on march 17th I'm completely non functioning sexually and have a strong desire for it. I've got BHP and the hormones are making my prostate grow quickly they tried both DHT blockers and I'm allergic so I'm having surgery the 30th and was told that my prostate will continue to grow back after the surgery because of the DHT production. I'm tired of talking the hormones and them not working and making things worse it just makes me more depressed. Hopefully I can find peace of mind and happiness off testosterone.

I was off testosterone for a little over a month when he removed my first testicle because my testosterone level was 2100 ng I was taking human growth hormone several times a week with my injections every 10 days so he made me stop taking everything I did the HGH on my own and he didn't know that I was taking it.

I think I would be tempted to stop T also with those issues.
I was fortunate enough not to get the mental things reported like depression and inability to think straight.
I guess after a couple of months I was starting to settle down to the new norm.
I only did 8 months off T and not sure how it would have panned out if I made it permanent.
I am considering another trial without it in the future.

Trust me Chesleyt you will find peace of mind and happiness being off testosterone. Just be patient and give it some time. DHT is even worse than testosterone. No wonder it is called testosterone times ten. Among other things it causes prostate problems including deadly cancer. Avoid increasing DHT levels at all costs.

How long do the hot flashes last after stopping testosterone and is there any way I can stop it from happening I was off testosterone for about two months before and the hot flashes were intense I also had night sweats pretty bad would soak the bed every night and that's with nothing covering me and the air conditioning on.
