Does anyone have experience with using GH to make you grow taller?

Does anyone have personal experience or even someone you use GH to make themselves grow taller because they used it before there growth plates were fully closed???

A good friend of mines son takes it. He is 14 or 15 I believe. He is taking 2.8IUs ED. The doctor said after I think 4 months he will slightly up the dosage.

It has helped him to grow a good deal talled and he does all the injections himself.

No not unless they are very young, usually mid-teens and younger

Depends if your epiphysis have sealed, if they have, GH/anavar therapy would be useless. Thats why the target population for these studies are 12-14 year old boys.

People dont stop growing untill like 25 though i've heard...... so the epiphysis must not close until then or is that different?

It varies from person to person, you won't know unless you get an long bone epiphysis x-ray...and usually they won't give these (at least in Canada) unless you have something pathological. Gh comes with a host of side effects so make sure you know what you're doing...its also fucking expensive according to the literature. They have studies published in medline or pubmed (if you don't have access), but most of them, if not all are done on pre-pubescent kids with constitutional delay or turner syndrome. LOL I'm in the same boat man, I'm on a var cycle now for strength and a pipe dream for height augmentation lol.

it really depends on how the kid matures. i hit puberty early, height-wise i stopped growing at 12. but some of my friends didnt hit puberty till later on and when they were 15-16 they really started to get taller. kinda sux coz im 5'6 but what can you do.
also GH for getting taller doesnt seem such a good idea, not only is it too expensive, but wont it also trigger other growths in the body.

Yeah, you can usually predict final height by charting growth velocity and fitting it in a statistically modeled curve (doctors have it, you can find these charts on the net). My doctor nailed my height at 5'7.
Be warned, estrogen accelerates the closing of epiphysis, so if you're considering AAS, be watchful of aromatization. And I'm guessing being fat/chubby won't help. I was fat/chubby as a kid and I always wondered if the elevated estrogen levels caused me to seal faster (if I did indeed seal). I'm 19 now.

True from the standpoint that the bone plates could stay open till as late as mid twenties in some folks

so should I not even bother??
