I don't know anything about Testim, but I would think it makes sense that if you want to re-evaluate the direction you want to go, then your first step should be to stop any medications (herbal or otherwise) that would colour your thinking. At least then you'll be making decisions for yourself, not from a bottle or tube.
Also if your testosterone levels are naturally low, then I would suggest that the dosage you mentioned is a great place to start. 1000mg a day was all it took for me. I know there are others who need higher dosages, some because they may simpler need more, some because they are impatient, and some because they were told they needed to by people who cannot know how much any individual actually needs (nobody is to read their name into this comment, I have just seen it lots of times on this forum and others). Andy and other regular contributors have said several times that the best plan is to start slowly and increase if needed over time. I personally strongly agree with that. For me, "over time" means stay with the starting dosage for at least 3 months. If nothing else, it allows you to mentally adjust and make changes to your plans if your thinking on it changes. There is lots of anecdotal evidence in the forum to help you decide how to proceed.
Best of luck with whatever your choose to do, I hope the results of your choices bring you happiness. We are all of us strange and complicated...
