The safe and easy thing isn't always blindly following advice. It is learning the reasons why and deciding your best course of action.
A couple of things here. First off 200 mg/wk is a lot. For me with every 3.5 days injections plus HCG that puts me at about 1,300 on the morning of the next shot. Without HCG would probably be a few hundred less. So make of that what you will. Doc should not have had any element of surprise at your level, and really for TRT probably shouldn't have started you at that dosage - although many do, with the intent of backing you down after you start to feel better.
Second is injection frequency. Cyp has a half life of 8 days. If you inject every 7 then you will have a bit of a roller coast going on, with higher peaks than you probably want and lower lows. A rule of thumb if you want nice flat blood levels is use half of a half life for frequency. Half of eight is four. To keep it simple I just do twice a week, Tuesday evening and Saturday morning. Now the reason I bring that up is every seven days is borderline ok. Every ten days would not be. It would put you of a worse roller coaster, and your lows might not be very pleasant. If you want to lower that 1048 level, then do it by dosage injected, not by extending days between shots.
If your doc is always going to test you Friday morning, the you could think about injecting Friday night and Tuesday morning. That way you would be tested morning of your next shot, and going to 3.5 days would smooth out your peaks and valleys.
I personally would drop it to 150 mg/wk, and go to 3.5 days between. See how you feel and where that puts you.
