used Creatine Monohydrate for years on and off over the years and used to swear by it. Don't bother now but in the time I did I got some cracking gains in size and strength . Always used the CNP creatine, load up for a week then 5g per day after that.

Took the tablets for about a week and was having heart palpitations, needless to say I stopped taking them

I mean was there nothing else in the creative mix, like caffeine or anything.

Have only started using Creapure in the last week - obviously size increase is minimal but it 100% is giving me extra energy in my training (beyond what a plateau could be).

Dinnar really tbh, obviously does something cause I gain a few founds when not using it. I don't know if it's psychological but I feel I can lose weight and stay as strong when I stop taking it
That's quite contradictory isnt it

No it wrote that in a hurry lol, I gain weight when using it, and i don't lose strength but I do lose a couple pounds if I stop for a few weeks.
So it doesn't have lasting effects?

In the sense that it gives you the capacity to do more work, it can have lasting effects because you've been able to lift more weight so should have stimulated more muscle growth (assuming diet is good).
However it relies on being present in your muscle tissue at high concentrations. If you stop taking it as a supplement then levels will return to natural levels (remember, creatine occurs naturally in all vertebrates).
Bollocks that man. I want some gains

Just take it all the time, there's no need to come off.

Unless you're caning it down like a banker does cocaine you'll be fine.
Make sure you're hydrated etc'.
You make the gains by using creating to help you work harder in the gym. And there's no reason to cycle or take a break from creatine anyway.
