I just started taking it about a week and a half ago. During the "loading" phase (where you take it like 4-5 times a day for week) I had the explosive shits and constant gas. It was incredible. But now that I am taking it once per day (take it at lunch), I am fine. My Health & Fitness professor said there are virtually no side effects, as long as you give your body a rest every couple of months and lay off of it.
From his understand, and he has his master's degree, your body will not EVER "stop making creatine" or "become dependant." plus, your body will not go back down to its original size if you stop taking it. creatine holds water, which makes yoru muscles bigger, which lets you lift bigger weights, which makes your muscles.....even bigger. if you stopped, you might lose a little bit of muscle, but what you've made during the process can't be lost unless you stop working out.
I haven't noticed any big improvements yet, but I haven't been taking it long.
