Hi,
The total testosterone need in 24 hours is about 2 to 3 mg. In that view, the dose prescribed to you seems to be more. But your doctor has prescribed it after assessing your needs.
So, before stopping it you should assess the blood levels of testosterone to confirm/exclude, its toxic levels and then decide the dose with your doctor's advice.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
