Well yeah, anyone that is currently on TRT is going to feel stronger and more vigorous short term. But in long term effects they could feel they aged faster overall.

If I took aphetamines I would feel more energetic and capable than I would without in the short term. But long term it might not make me more energetic and capable overall due to the adverse effects.

If you stay at the same dose and know you can slow it down and go down a few pegs anytime by skipping the day/week's doses, it more than evens out (assuming you've developed routines to compensate either way and you have redundancies in place to cover you for when you're slowing down)
