Before you try creatine, just try taking a week off and eating a shitload. Then when you get back on your routine just keep eating and eating and eating. Make sure you are taking tons of protien throughout the day. Don't just take a bunch after you workout. The average person can only digest around 40 grams of protien in a single sitting anyway. So spread your protien out during the day. If you STILL don't see any gains, maybe try creatine.
I don't personally like creatine, but I've seen people make great strides with it. I personaly think you can achieve the same thing by eating big and lifting big.
The most important thing is proper rest, followed by food, and the amount of weight you choose THIRD on this list. If you are over training, trying to squeeze more weight out, you never reach proper hypertrophy and you're screwed. Hence the one week rest/eat binge when you hit these plateuas. They work for me anyway. I do it about once every 6 weeks.
