Not necessarily, it depends on how well your body responds to bio-identical hormone therapy. Also important, is how well you manage your diet, sleep patterns, exercise, and stress levels that will assist you in regaining hormonal balance. Some patients can wean off various hormones once they become balanced and have fewer symptoms of menopause or andropause. There are also patients who can wean off adrenal and thyroid support, once their adrenals or thyroid glands have healed. There is no single answer for everyone, it depends on your individual hormone stability and, how well your diet and lifestyle will support everything else. In the worst-case scenario, if you decided to stop bio-identical hormone therapy, your body would return to the state it was in before initiating your program.
