I was curious if anyone here using Creatine Monohydrate has any side effects at all. I seem to get dizzy from time to time and it lasts maybe an hour. I am not saying for sure creatine is causing it, but since I started using it not quite 2 full weeks ago, I have just started getting dizzy. It does not seem to be a big problem, just annoying. Thanks

Again, I am not sure it is the creatine causing my dizzyness, it just started around the same time.

Does your creatine have dextrose in it? Are you taking simple sugars with it? If so, you can be getting high blood sugar followed by a drop in blood sugar which will make you feel dizzy.
I use straight creatine and whey for my post workout shake. I don't use anything that could cause an insulin spike.

Thank you for the great response! I forgot about the sugar thing, although I had read it. I did check mine and it has 0 sugars. I use AST Micronized Ceartine Monohydrate. About drinking more water, I said in my original post that I was drinking a gallon of water a day and it gave me headaches. Maybe if I spread it out more and drank a couple glasses throughout the night, it might easse the amount of water in my system just enough to take care of the headaches. Thanks guys!

If I take creatine first thing in the morning on a 8hr fasted stomach I risk dizziness or feeling nauseated. I have also felt funny if I'm low on carbs..... this could purely be because of the low carb though. I have also felt dizzy-ish if I drank to much coffee.
I feel best when I eat, lift, then drink my creatine with apple juice.
