16 years old, need help

[cb88]

Hi everyone. I have only posted on this board once before but I seriously need help. This is a very long story, so I hope someone will read about my situation and help me. I made a stupid mistake and I need help in fixing it. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. So here it goes...

About 5 months ago, I was talking to this kid in my school who started telling me that he knew a way to grow taller than youre supposed to be. He told me all this stuff about a drug called letrozole . He said if I took it every day for 18 months, I would grow 2 inches taller than my doctor said I would be. He said it might work even better for me because I was a later grower than everyone else in my grade, and that it works best when your in your big growth spurt, which I was going through at the time. He seemed like he knew what he was talking about so I went online and found some studies proving exactly what he said.

Even though I knew about the side effects of it, the idea of being over 6 feet tall was tempting enough that I didnt really care. So then I bought the letrozole from AR-R and started taking 2.5 mL a day.

At first, there were very few side effects and the ones that I did experience, werent that bad. My sex drive was still decent, joints a little achy, but nothing painful. But after a little while, dont remember exactly how long, I started noticing some rapid changes in my body...rapid even under pubescent standards. The hair on my lower legs started getting longer, thicker and darker at a ridiculously fast pace, and before I knew it, I had thick knee and upper leg hair...all in a matter of about 2.5 months. My hair was growing so fast, I remember times sitting in class that I would feel a tingling sensation in my legs, and I had a feeling it was the hair growing. My pubic hair got darker and thicker and spread like f**kin wildfire and I started shaving my upper lip hair every other day, up from once every two weeks. My acne gradually became 10 times worse than before, and cream wasnt helping at all anymore. But the most noticeable effect was the masculinization of my upper body and extreme muscle growth--only working out once a week. Everybody was so shocked to see how mature my body was becoming, because before I started the letrozole, my shoulders were no broader than a 12 year olds, and I had the biceps of nicole richie. My friends started joking about me juicing (they had no idea I was taking the letro), and I just told my parents that I had been doing heavy lifting every day after school (when they werent home). Oh yeah, and by now, my sex drive was very low.
(I actually had a lot more sides than the above but I wont get into those now.)

At first when I started seeing what was happening to my body, I just told myself that the letro was naturally increasing my testosterone and was naturally speeding up the process of puberty. Then as days went on, I started to become skeptical. One thing I learned was that estrogen contributes to muscle growth, so I asked myself, if I was killing my estrogen, why would I be gaining so much muscle? Also, I researched that letrozole slows growth, but doesn't stop it, so why hadnt I grown one millimeter in 3.5 months? I compared all of my sides to the sides of letrozole, and saw some, but few similarities. That got me thinking that what I had been taking wasnt what I thought it was. Then I compared all of my sides to the sides of most steroids and saw a ton of similarities. (not saying AR-R isnt legit, im just skeptical.)

Because of my skepticalness, I spent the next month lowering the dosage to an eventual .2 mL, once a week. I haven't taken any letro in the past 2 weeks and I'm freaking out about what has happened to my body and my hormone levels, especially because now, my sex drive is totally dead, obviously not healthy for a kid my age. Right now, stunted growth is the least of my worries as Im most worried that I have f**ked up my body for the rest of my life and will have to be on hormone replacement therapy till I die.

Please, I know I have made a huge mistake in doing what I've done, but I am extremely depressed about the situation and dont know what to do or where to turn. Right now, im just praying that there is some way to get my body functioning back to normal, but I need help getting there. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.

Letro doesnt naturally increase your testosterone mate... you got a problem. get off that shit. letro wipes out your estrogen levels. I have never heard of it making you grow.

you should see a doctor man...

tell your parents everything and go to the doctor right away. tell the doc the truth and let them treat you.

If it doesn't increase testosterone , then how are the rapid changes in my body explained? And I've been off it for 2 weeks but haven't seen any improvement in side effects or gotten my sex drive back either. thats why im worried about my hormones. And just in case your curious about the growth thing: http://pediatrics.aappublications.or...ull/115/2/e245

Also, does anyone know what I should expect from my doctor? like, is hormone replacement a real possibility?

Could care less about studies. It doesnt increase your testosterone . If it did most people running it wouldn't be struggling to keep their pecker up.

You seem like a troll now to sit here trying to back it up. I know the steroid aspects of letro.

Let me ask you this.... Did you break 6 ft yet? Is it worth all the shit your going threw? Its obviously changing your body. But is it worth it? Just to get another inch or two?

First post is written WAY too well for a 16 yr old. I think this is some 60 yr old perv who loves to talk about pubes.

No offense to our regular 60 yr old perv members...

Im assuming I should be going to an endocrinologist...

And I'm not freaking out about hair growth. Im freaking out that I might have taken a steroid at 16 years old, every day for almost 4 months while thinking it was something else, that I haven't seen any improvement in sides after being completely off for 2 weeks, that I haven't gained back any sex drive which means I might've have f**ked up my hormones for life, low sperm count, maybe future heart problems, high blood pressure and cholestorel, stunted growth, etc.

it isnt a steroid ..... its a aromatase inhibitor

"As estrogen is also a factor in stopping linear bone growth, Letrozole is currently being examined for potential use in delay of growth seen in children. found that as well. funny its being examined for potential use.

[Matt]

Yeah, troll for sure...

agree.

16 year also wouldn't have a credit card to order.

how many 16 year olds know what an endocrinologist is?

yea ar-r is secretly selling liquid steriods in place of letro

[c-Z]

u serious! no wonder i got raging bonners on ar's armidex! i knew it! LOL

c-Z, im sorry, I think you misunderstood my reply. I was actually asking you what could have caused the changes, not trying to back it up. And I believe you that it doesnt increase testosterone . The link I posted was about growth.

And thanks for rubbing it in. Its pretty clear from my first post that I regret what ive done.

[c-Z]

Im not rubbing anything in it seems like you are trying to back it....

But did you grow atleast? I mean screw the sides... Its w.e. if i take steroids to put on muscle i want some muscle.... so if you take letro to grow i hope you grew atleast.

alright watever. But no, it was a no-win situation for me. Its looking like all it did was speed up puberty, mess up my hormones and stunt my growth. At least I got some muscle out of it though.

To everyone else: Im not a troll, I really am 16, I got my friend whos 18 to buy it for me, and Ill definitely see an endocrinologist, just not sure how Im gonna tell my parents. Right now all I can really do is hope for the best. I was just hoping their might be some way to help me without getting parents and doctors involved.
