will lowering the dose of creatine a day drop water weight?

[ffknight84]

I started the 13th with 20g a day till the 17th, since then i have been taking 10g a day. Monday I weighed 209, today i weighed 206. Did the lowered does ause the water retention to go down?

i did not weigh myself any other day, all taken in the morning after peeing.

Why do you care about your weight. If its how the bloating is making you look, that is something you cannot avoid with creatine. I would only suggest drinking an assload of water and cutting sodium down to a minimum.

if you stop taking creatine do you lose the muscle you gained? Or the blown up muscle rather?

You will loose the water in time... To answer your question I can only take my own experiences...

Last time I put on about 8 pounds, 2 weeks after I got of creatine i had gained a 5 pounds.... that is I held 3 pounds of water during the cycle.
