Ok been on it for a year works good wonders. creatine mono is what im taking. last year like i was taking it on and off now i jus never stoped taking it. i been taking it every day. is that bad? what will happen to me? I am drinkin a ton of liquid so is that good?
Also I take a teaspoon a day 5 grams sometimes heaPing. and also my protein drinks have creatine in themcuz i use body fortress whey protein which contains creatine. I get 2 and half scoops of the protein in body fortress a day and the amount of creatine from the 2and a halfscoops would be around or near 25-30 grams a day counting the 1 teaspoon i take of it alone.
So is this ok to do as long as i drink a ton of liquid. cuz honestly I dont wana cycle it off cuz when i did last year i lost a lot of strength and i lost the water which made me look big lol.

Lol you are a retard. If anything creatine has been proven to increase testosterone levels by as high as 22%. Creatine use dates back to as early as the 1920's and is the only supplement that has been scientifically studied for the last 20-30 years and has been proven to not have any negative side effects besides minor stomach irritation which is a cause of not drinking enough water. Know your **** before you open your mouth.

On a cold Friday afternoon, I had come home from school. I had been thinking of the gym all day. I was hungry, didn't have any lunch. In fact, I didn't eat because I spent the money. For the past month I was saving up for something. Something special which I bought at GNC. I was surprised they didn't ask for ID; I was pretty sure the cashier noticed how nervous I was. Anyways, my mom asked my how my day was when I got home, but I ignored her. I have more important things to do. I run to the bathroom and unpack my bag. In my school bag is a white plastic bag from GNC. I open the bag, first removing the receipt and flushing it down the toilet to get rid of the evidence. My heart was racing now. I unpack the creatine monster from the bag.
I wonder what people will be asking me when they see that I will be 50lbs heavier. Should I say I was just eating a lot? I remove the label from the tub and tear it into a thousand small pieces. I flush that down the toilet, too. It is time now. I run up to my room when my mom ask me what I am holding. I panic, sweat drips down my forehead and my teeth chatter. "Mom, it's just for a school project". "What project?" "I don't know mom I just started it!". A tear runs down my cheek. I run upstairs and open the creatine, scooping upservings into a clear water bottle. What have I gotten myself into? I fill it with water and drink it. There is no turning back now. The creatine monster is inside me now, it will control me. What should I do if I die? I cant let my family know about this.
I open the creatine tub and throw it all out the window; a white cloud of mysterious dust sparkles into the wind so graciously. I feel the substance taking control of me; I am now the monster. I walk downstairs, its time to work out; time to get big. Now I worry, I don't want to get too big; people will think I use steroids. I do use steroids. No I don't. Creatine. All I see is the weights now, I am almost downstairs when I hear "Do you want a cookie I just baked". I know I do not have time for this **** now. "No mom I do not want a cookie" I walk in the basement and drop to my knees before the weights, tears running down my cheeks. I turn to the right and look at myself in the mirror. Oh god, what have I done?

Also was on creatine monohydrate for a year and stopped - bad side effects!
I was also on creatine monohydrate for about a year (taking 5 grams everyday into my post workout protein shake). I did not cycle the creatine - I took it every day for about 10 months. I was seeinging incredible gains the first 3-4 months of taking it ( gained about 10 pounds ). Then month 6 I lost 6-7 pound but still lifting heavier and still appeared bigger (most likely from the water retention). I then got sick month 10 with a flu and had to take time off the gym. I stopped taking creatine cold turkey for about 2 weeks and lost most of my gains. I lost another 6-7 pounds (mainly water weight). I now appear skinny and others can tell that I have lost weight (muscle mass and water weight). I am now feeling better from the flu and ready to hit the gym. I of course panicked of what creatine mono did to me and swore I would not ever take it again if I cant keep the gains while not on it. So I went out and bought Purple-K Kre-Alkalyn.
My question now - Should I go back to monohydrate but cycle it this time (4 weeks on 4 weeks off) and hope that I will keep the gains?
Or should I not go back to mono and try KA?
