It probably is the creatine, I know loads of people (inc myself) that pee more when taking it. For peeing during the night, I would just say change the time that you're taking the creatine

I'm in the same boat. I used to get up once a night and now it is 3-4 times. I thought it was due to the L-arginine I was taking, but after reading this post, it could either be the creatine or the ZMA (high vit B in it). But after further reflection, it may not be the actual creatine but the fact I try to drink a gallon of water/ice green tea a day, so it's only natural that it would flow out at night.
Thanks for the input and query.

Peter..thanks for the feedback, but there is a method to my madness..I get done lifting about 4 pm, walk dog then, cook dinner, everything is done by say 6:30. I usually go to bed at 10:30. So I have 4 hrs of hang time. I end up getting the muchiees...and during my cutting phase this is a deal killer. So to head it off, I drink water to feel full. If you can think of something that I'm missing that solves this dilemma..I'm all ears mate!

Yeah, that'll do it. You could do what desert dude suggest and just have a cup of tea with a bit of honey. Or just have a larger evening meal, if possible? Obv this means slightly smaller lunch. Or, assuming your not doing some form of I.F., have your dinner a bit later or just save yourself a few cals so you can have a light 8.30 snack.
Just thinking out loud mate but getting up 3-4 times a big is a real bugger and I don't think you can get out of that without mixing your eating schedule up a bit. And you obv only need to do that when cutting.
Obviously I reckon you have already thought about all this but sometimes all someone can do is point out the obvious.High quality Home Personal Training in Edinburgh, UK.

Right...I think it is the extra liquid that I'm taking because I am on creatine. Actually I just came off of it this weekend, as I'm cycling off it for 6 weeks.
This is my first cut since losing all my weight and I'm finding it very hard. I went from 231 down to 164..then bulked up to 189...and now I'm at 183..every lb is a freaking battle. Thanks for the input mates!

Well, it went up the last workout, which was 4 days after my last creatine. But heres the deal, I was doing 5 sets of Inclines, 5 sents of Regular BP, 5 sets of Flies and then 5 sets of narrow grip Regular BP for Tris every 3rd workout. However, when I changed to working a total body workout, every other day, I'm doing 2 sets inclines, 2 set regular and 2 set narrow...so naturally with fewer sets, my energy in that muscle area is higher...right? Or am I missing something.
No, no diabetes..this pee increase is just in the last say 3 months. Had blood work done and everything is perfect.
Thanks mates!
