Has anyone has headaches when taking Creatine ??
Maybe it is just a coincidence but on my 3rd day of loading now and seen to have headaches since...

Not me, I can't see how it's related, are you sure it's creatine thats doing it?

yeah you will do if your not drinking enough especially when your exrecising at the same time! i constantly drink like a fish now mate! its beacause creatine causes extra water to flow to your cells!

yeah, that would makes sense. I had a couple headaches here and there when loading, but i never thought it was the creatine doing it.

i used to get them as well, but since i switched to the BODYFUEL gear, no probs, they reckon it was probably mild de-hydration, drink plenty of water, also is loading a marketing myth? i reckon it is.

Thats the same as me mate but i also started to get some nasty spots after 2weeks of use then give up! how much are people drinking aways cause i drank 2l of water a day?

That's only just enough for a normal person. Double it if you work out.

i have a pint of water when i get up and a pint with every meal thats 6 so far and a litre at the gym

thats about 4lt a day mate, sometimes more

turbo · 19-10-2004, 03:13 PM

i loose count of the water i have. easily 6lt a day i think maybe more.

powerU · 19-10-2004, 03:15 PM

took loads of different types of creatine over about 5 years, never had a headache with it.

Since i have stopped loading the headaches have gone away, wether this is coincidence or not i dont know !!!

Dont you guys find your constantly wanting the toilet on that much water, I try to drink a lot but especially being on the road it becomes a pain in the ar**,
Somedays i only drink about 2 litres, do you reckon that will affect to creatine performance ??

And if you think you'll make gains (with or without gear) without eating a decent amount of food, think again. Also if you don't train your legs or back, you'll never reach your potential.
