everyone responds differently to different compounds but you should always at least follow the time on = time off protocol... It will definitely not hurt you to take a few more weeks off as well... You want to fully recover... bloodwork is the only way to know if you have recovered fully or not... plus it depends on what you were running as well... the harsher the compound, chances are it will take you a bit longer to recover fully... at least time on to time off though...
