Danger: If you are not under the care of a physician who is prescribing this extreme and dangerous treatment then please stop. Get to your ?Pediatrician. I see absolutely no medical reason for a young man with normal growth so far to take this dangerous and unwise path.

Loss of money: There is no evidence that giving growth hormone to a normal (not deficient or resistant) person would gain more height.They might reach their final height sooner, but not add any more.If you are truly deficient, the process should be monitored by a doc with experience in dosing and management.They can manage and explain any side effects.
