How long does it take for one's testosterone levels to recover after stopping ADT?

If a person is on ADT for over three years then goes on a drug holiday, he has less than a 50-50 subsequent chance of full testosterone (T) recovery. The older his age and the lower his T when he stops ADT, the longer it will take to recover T and the greater the chance that full recovery will not occur.
