I am starting to take creatine again starting yesterday I will tell you how it's going in 1 month. I did take creatine before which was last year and I didn't have any side effects except I was bloated but I realize I am pretty much always bloated so that doesn't really matter.
I am only taking it before my workouts on my leg days which is 3 days a week. I will have to drink a lot more water yayyy me more trips to the bathroom to pee :) well I don't mind it. Creatine is suppose to give me more muscle definition and more volume as it draws water to the muscles. I took it yesterday and I didn't feel any different during my work out I was mostly sleepy, I took a 2hrs nap before going to the meeting. I even researched if creatine is suppose to make you sleepy lol because honestly I was ready for bed during my squats lol but I pushed through!
