I realize that you loose some strength when you stop taking creatine. What I want to know from those who use creatine regularly is, did you loose any muscle size and if so how much on average did you loose?

Thanks in advance............ta2d

Well you wont lose muscle.. but you might lose a little of its size due to less water retention.

When I used to take creatine (7 years ago) the first time I stopped I lost 20 pounds. Don't remember losing any strength and certainly you don't lose muscle, just the amount of water that the muscles contained due to the creatine.
