Don't drink a gallon of coffee or soda after you take your creatine (duh). Since I get up at 4am, I take an energy pill containing caffeine before I work out and creatine after. If you drink enough water to compensate for the diuretic effects of caffeine then you should be OK. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
