For individuals with a diagnosed growth hormone deficiency (GHD), discontinuing HGH replacement therapy can cause a re-emergence of pre-treatment symptoms, impacting body composition, energy levels, and psychological well-being. A significant finding from a 2003 study involving GHD adults is that just three months of HGH withdrawal resulted in detrimental psychological effects, including increased tiredness, irritability, and depression. These effects underscore why proper medical guidance is essential when managing HGH therapy and its discontinuation.
