creatine's longevity?

[vigilante90210]

Hey all,
I just wanted to hear from those of you who have used creatine before, i know generally people make pretty good gains while they are on it but does the increase in strength remain after you stop taking it? I am interested in trying some but i dont want to take it if its something ill have to continue taking for life to hold on to the gains made with it. Thanks

It does allow me to recover faster so in the end I do make better gains when on creatine, But the initial water gain I get goes away once I get off the stuff.

Overall it is cheap and a good addition to your supp stack.

yea ive been using it and recovery helps...water weight is easy enough to lose once ur off it but the muscle u gain from it will stay regardless of the water loss
