When you stop taking creatine, your muscles no longer have the same water retention so you lose approximately 30% of the gains you made while on, its a noticeable loss, but the gains are worth it.
There are no other side effects, but be aware the many bodies (something like 1/10 or 1/100) simply do not digest creatine and you will essentially be pissing it all away. Theres no real way to know if you're doing this though without a test, so best bet is...keep at it and if you don't have any gains, drop the stuff.
