In reply to creatine?, posted by uncouth on November 7, 2011, at 8:28:45
I took creatine earlier this year. I found it stimulating, and I'm hypersensitive to stimulants, so I took a very low dose -- half a capsule, about 500 mg. It would lift my mood somewhat during the day, then late in the evening, as its effects began to wear off, I'd feel tired and glum. This is the same thing that happens to me when I have caffeine, although creatine isn't as stimulating as caffeine. When I'd try taking creatine later in the day, it would interfere with my sleep. The University of Utah is testing creatine for depression and uridine for bipolar disorder. Here's a story about the studies:
