I'm currently 35 and I've been on TRT for roughly 3 years. 200mg of test cyp every 2 weeks. No HCG or anything else has been taken. My test was around 450 or so when my urologist put me on test cyp due to low test symptoms, which in hindsight I feel may have been caused by stress at the time. Test has ranged from the 400s to 1000 during blood work the last few years while taking TRT. Anyways, I want to try to get off TRT and see how I am without any exogenous testosterone. Should I quit cold turkey or I've been thinking about getting and taking 20mg a day of Nolvadex for 4 weeks around 2 weeks after my last injection and see if that helps with the recovery. Any tips, suggestions, guidance, etc. that will help me in my journey will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your in for a world of hurt if you stop cold turkey. You need to do a proper restart with clomiphene and tamoxifen. There are many threads on how to properly do a restart.
Below is a condensed version I found in the AAS Forum..
here is the way dr scally suggests one to perform agreat post cycle therapy (pct):
First- they administration of post cycle therapy (pct) meds start the day after AAS cessation. We know for most part we wait for about 14-21 days for long esters to clear or when start feeling the crash to start post cycle therapy (pct).
Second- The first 16 days a large amount of HCG was used in order to increase the mass of the testes so that they could sustain output of testosterone sooner. The HCG was stopped about the time the esters cleared so that estrogenic activity from the HCG would be reduced. I read before this is a waste of HCG but he stated this method is more effective( at least for test C & 19nor which is in this case)
Third-during those 16 days of HCG treatment 2 SERM`s drugs were also used, clomid and nolvadex. This is way the opposite of what everyones recommend on almost every post cycle therapy (pct) log I have read before. He stated tha contrary of what is typically recommend was succesfull on 19 men on this study. After HCG treatment was stoped the 2 SERM`s drugs will continued administrated for another few weeks.
Ok lets take a look how this post cycle therapy (pct) was used so we can discuss here what is the diffrence between what is recommed it on most of the post cycle therapy (pct) threads and what they used for this study.
Day 1-16 : 2500iu HCG every other day.
Day 1-30 : Nolva 20mg/day; Clomid 100mg/day (50mg was taken twice per day)
Day 31-45 : Nolva 20mg/day
