Is it common to be a little jittery after using a creatine suppliment for the first time?

Question

I'm done with my workout it was my first time trying it out and i just have the jitters a little bit. I just wanna make sure this is normal? or ok? just as long as its not bad...

Answer 1

A jittery feeling is usually more association with stimulants. Were you taking any caffeine at the same time? Check the ingrediants - maybe you grabbed "Ultimate Orange" instead.

I have heard some people say that creatine puts them a little more "on edge" - making them feel a bit more agressive. So you might watch how you deal with people after supplimenting as you may be one who is more prone to outbursts of anger when taking creatine.

The other thing to watch is to make sure that you drink excessive amounts of water when supplimenting with creatine. Creatine expands your muscle cells by causing them to absorb more water, so you might end up being more dehydrated and that dehydrated feeling might cause you to be a bit more jittery.
