I'm 17 and 5'8" i want to be 6'0" will taking estrogen blockers and igf-1 help me grow. my growth plates are still open.

No!: Do not take any drugs to try to help you grow. If your growth plates are open you will continue to grow some, but give up hope for six feet. That is VERY unlikely and no drugs will help in any meaningful way.
