Although gaining height is possible, it depends on whether or not your growth plates (epiphyseal plates) have fused or not. You would need an xray and a qualified Physician to determine that.
If you take GH without medical supervision, it may cause several side effects.
There may also be a significant weight increase.

Please consult an Endocrinologist for the same.
