Creatine = Piss every 20 minutes?!

[Pharm_Fed]

Well, I've noticed that after I start taking creatine, I have to wake up to piss half a dozen times in the middle of the night. I think it is directly related to the creatine because I was sleeping all night through, maybe waking up to pee once until I started taking creatine a couple weeks ago. It started almost exactly when I started the creatine. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a suggestions on how to make it suck less? I'm guessing it's from the water retention, but don't know what to do to alleviate the problem. I literally get angry by the 3rd or 4th time having to get up to pee :curse:

I have the same problem, but its cause of how many fluids im taking in. I think i got up 3 times last night.

I take in a lot of fluids too, but even when taking in the same amount of fluids, without the creatine I might get up to pee once during the night. Last night I got up either 5 or 6 times. Some were within an hour of each other. What the heck?

It's your body trying to establish equilibrium again because the creatine makes your body hold water, but your body does not want to. It usually stops after a few days.

That makes sense, but I have been taking it for almost two weeks now and it hasn't gotten any better...

Creatine is found in red meat. Your body can get more than enough Creatine that it needs with the correct diet. Don’t waste your money on it as a supplement. Sure you can get that few extra pounds or even look bigger “but softer”. It’s because you’re retaining water in muscle tissue.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Creatine will actually cause muscle tissue to retain water. Your brain and heart being two of the most important muscles in your body. <o></o>
I wound up gaining about 10lbs or so in water weight in a few days/week. The doctor that treated me in the hospital was telling me he had two patients one having brain damage because of swelling and the other with heart problems.<o></o>
We are talking young kids hear with false hopes.<o></o>
I might be out of line but we need a section that we can share the negative effects of some supplements. Those of you selling these supplements. Ask your self is a buck worth someone’s health?<o></o>
Creatine will not or should not be the reason you’re peeing so much. It can and is known from keeping your body from expressing excess water from your system. I was hospitalized because it.<o></o>
I’m not trying to nor will I get into a debate on this topic. I know what happened to me. I can only speak from experience. I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone in our community here on musclechemistry.<o></o>
God Bless you all and make the Iron Gods be with you.<o></o>

Oddly enough I only urinate maybe twice a day and that's it. Went to the doctor about it and he said everything was normal, my body just doesn't have the urge to urinate as often.

But when I do......look out! Super soaker time.

Creatine never really effected me like that. Worst I got was an upset stomach.

In my case I didn't pee for a week or so. I went toxic. If any of you had a catheter you know it's not fun. My urinary track shut down. Honestly taking Creatine as a supplement is just not worth it. What do you expect to gain? Go over it with your disfincter. Ask just how Creatine should and will affect you.fficeffice" /><O></O>
PLEASE DO YOUR HOME WORK………. Don't spend money on what you can consume in a well balanced diet.<O></O>
God Bless you all. And may the iron gods be with you.<O></O>
