Hey guys I just started cycling creatine. Im not doing the loading phase, just getting 3-5g a day. Well this morning I woke up feeling hung-over but did not have anything to drink last night. It was the opposite of dehydration though. My blood pressure was low, I had a headach, I was light sensitive and I was craving the **** out of salt. Did I over saturate with water? I know your suppose to up the intake of water while taking creatine so I drank about 100oz of water which normally Id never come close to... Any ideas? Could it have been something else? Im gonna try three grams again today and drink 50% wate and maybe 50% sports drink.

Yes, most likely it was water intoxication. The cells swell and the electrolytes are not replenished. The symptom being nausea and dizziness.
