Your right DecaD, Anything taken at large or "stupid" doses can mess you up. Thats the problem with the human race. If alittle is good for you, then "hey" alot has got to be great for you. "NOT"

From what I've been reading, anywhere from 1 to 10 iu's/day can be used depending on the problem. The average dose for people like your self is 2 - 4iu/day. Make sure you dont take it when it's being produced naturally and DO NOT inject in the same spot more than once... If you have sides at 4iu's, it's best to cut back until youre comfortable.
"Growth hormone is a very powerful hormone which can have bad side effects if taken incorrectly. It is not, however, a dangerous hormone to take, if you take it correctly and monitor the results correctly.
The most commonly known side effects are:
1) retention of water or edema; this is not a serious side effect and disappears if the dosage is lowered or after the body adjusts to the increase in growth hormone.
2) Carpal tunnel syndrome is a pain in the wrist caused by the small bones in the wrist rubbing against each other. It occurs after a few months of taking too much growth hormone, I imagine because the small bones each grow a fraction of an inch due to the high amount of growth hormone. This symptom is preventable by monitoring the result of taking growth hormone, and is normally reversible by discontinuing or lowering the dose being taken.
3) The worst possible proven side effect is acromegaly, or gigantism, which is an unnatural growth of bone mass and thickening of the skin which is caused by a great excess in growth hormone. Acromegaly occurs naturally in persons that have a pituitary tumor that causes them to release growth hormone without control. But only a fool could get acromegaly from purposely taking an excess of growth hormone by sub-cutaneous injection. Not only is it necessary to take blood tests to monitor results, it is also foolish to take a dose much above what has become standard.
