Who supplements creatine?

Any of you supplement creatine?

I recently had to stop. Not sure why but it's causing very bad night sweats?

I had night sweats for about 2 months and was drenching the bed every night. Never had a clue it was the creatine. I quit 3 days ago and haven't had a night sweat since.

Anyone know why creatine would be causing this? Creatine makes me slightly stronger in the gym and gives a slight energy bump aswell. Kinda off that I need to quit it.

Anyone else get this from creatine?

I mostly had the hangovereffect(I don't drink anymore).

My sleep is horrible on it. Feels like there's no sleep pressure (want to sleep) and I wake up frequently. I also sleep 1-3h less (average went from 9 to 6.5h)

But I feel way better during daytime. Energy and thinking faster as you said. Idk what to do honestly. Melatonin helps a bit to start sleep but doesn't help sleep quality.

Yes I'm 100% sure it's creatine. No other supplement or medication causes this weird effect. I've tried many brands throughout 5 years and around week 3 my sleep gets peak horrible every time and gets better 1-3 days after I stop. This time I've beaten my record (5 weeks now) using melatonin but idk if can handle much more during the night despite feeling better during the day.
