At What Age Does The Common Male Stop Growing?

What age does the common male stop growing? I am 17 and am about 5'4". However, I am taking Adderall XR for my ADD. I am also wondering if Adderall stunts muscle growth as well because I spend a considerable amount of time in the gym, about 3-5 days a week and haven't been seeing the results my workout partner has gained.

Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You should stop worrying about your growth. Let me assure you that adderall do not stunt growth in 99 percent of cases. In others there are other reasons. At the age of 17 you are already 5.4. Growth is possible upto the age of 22 or 23 and it totally depends on your genetics and life style. You should grow two to three inches more than your fathers height.

You shall see the difference in your growth soon. Do not compare with other friends and get worried about it. Concentrate on your studies and career.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
