Stopping Creatine use - muscle loss??

Hey all -

I've been using Creatine Mono for about a month and a half now with some good gains (162 lbs --> 176 lbs current). My tub is about to run out and I'd actually like to discontinue use because I'm happy with the way my body looks. Should I worry about drastic muscle/weight loss after I stop? I don't want to cycle it either.. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

J

you might lose a little water weight. I'm not a creatine user so i cant really say for sure.

sigh

All creatine does is helps you use stored energy in your workouts. That's it. Nothing more.
some people gain a little water weight, so any weight you might lose after 7 days of stopping creatine is just water weight, not lean mass.

Why are you choosing to stop it? When you do, expect to feel a little weaker in the gym...not quite as much endurance as you won't have as efficient an ability to convert stored energy to useable energy.
