Will I Experience Anxiety Or Depression After Stopping Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

I have a question about stopping testosterone replacement therapy after 10 weeks 200mg a week of cypionate, my last shot was 2 weeks ago. Can I stop and if I do will I experience anxiety or depression at all?
I have nolvadex handy from a friend and was debating taking that.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Psychotic symptoms, excessive libido and aggression, in addition to physical and psychological dependence and withdrawal syndromes have been rarely described with testosterone treatment, though the validity of testosterone or the cause is uncertain. Few studies have mentioned that no significant changes in behavior, function, depression, or cognitive performance occurred following 12 weeks of testosterone replacement in men with low testosterone levels and early-to-moderate cognitive impairment. So, there is no need to worry.

Thanks
