What are the effects: Cessation of HGH use.

A serious question for those with pharma knowledge.

If an athlete is using HGH for performance benefits (whatever that dose may be), and there is an immediate cessation from the full dosage, what may be the short-term impacts, 24-72 hour later?

Any citations to sudies which may show this impact in terms of which functions may be affected would be greatly appreciated.

My uneducated guess that any natural HGH production would have been suppressed due to the high exogenous dosage, and with the cessation the hormonal and endocrinal systems would go out of balance.
