Thirsty at night

nightvision Posts: 40 Joined: 2004/02/23	2004/03/03, 09:05 AM Anyone else find themselves very thirsty at night since starting creatine? I take 5g in the am and 5g at about 8PM, post workout. I drink about 80- 100 ounces of water a day, but most of that comes between 9 and 5 while I am at work (I weigh 165lbs). At night I have been getting very thirsty since I started taking creatine. When I am thirsty at night, i start to feel like the creatine could be hurting me. Kinda like an engine without oil. I do drink some water before bed, but that has me up going to the bathroom at least 3 times a night. Do you think this means that the creatine could be doing harm?

Therefore, I don't believe that it is doing you any harm. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever! E-mail: rpacheco@freetrainers.com
