Hello, and thanks for your question.
What you describe, low sex drive, in the setting of feeling morose, stressed, and anxious, is not a problem with testosterone, but rather depression. You say to focus on testosterone in my answer, but testosterone is not primarily responsible for sex drive in women, and supplementation in women can cause all kinds of problems like hair growth, irritable mood, and so forth. Furthermore, I do not believe your strategy of stopping and restarting it will do anything for you, as hormones do not work this way.
Instead, I recommend you focus on your mental health. You say you are on a small dose of Remeron. This is likely not doing enough for you. By treating your low mood, anxiety, and stress, your sex drive will return. Testosterone is not the way to do this. Suboxone does not affect sex drive either.

Detailed Answer:
I'm sorry this was not the answer you were expecting.
Testosterone indeed does not work more effectively after a washout from the system. If it has stopped working for you, stopping and restarting it will not change that efficacy. In fact, to go further, in large scale randomized controlled studies, testosterone is no more effective than placebo at increasing sex drive among women. So overall this will not be an effective strategy for you and will only result in side effects. I think you were hoping I would tell you it would -- but it simply does not work this way chemically.
