Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
I had never heard before of any link until yesterday when someone blamed some guy's aggression on all the "protein, creatine and glutamine supplements" he was taking. I thought it was ridiculous so I looked it up.
There are reports of aggression and irritability that seem to go away when creatine is stopped, but nothing has been proven apparently. Some people swear to god they're linked; some swear to god they're not. I'm not convinced that this isn't another case of correlation vs causation in some cases.
The mayo clinic has a pretty unbiased report. They just lump it in with all the other possible side effects.
Holy shit that's hilarious, aggression from creatine hahahaha
They can't even draw a link between aggression and (anabolic) steroid use, but they're speculating on creatine? hahahahhahah
Mayo Clinic is just covering it's ass with Pascal's wager: we don't have any data to suggest this but what the hell, it's technically a risk since we don't know different. Hence "reported side-effects".

If you google creatine and aggression you come up with links to forums and the like with people reporting themselves or husbands or whoever who used to take creatine and became cranky and irritable.
I'm not training very hard right now because Leigh Peele says that people who have thyroid problems might find it easier to lose weight under low stress conditions; but it's anecdotal, and she admits as much.
I think it's important to give equal consideration to conclusions we don't like as we give to conclusions we do like.
Do you take creatine? You seem a tad aggressive sometimes.

Pascal's wager? what did he wager on? that creatine causes aggression?

It was a religious argument, basically saying that it's better to believe in God and be wrong (thus vanishing into oblivion at death) than to be an atheist and be wrong (thus receiving judgment from the God you shunned). Therefore it was "safer" to believe in God, even if there's no proof.
Faith as an insurance policy FTW.
Given that it's safer to assume that this forum causes menopause than to assume there's no risk, I'd better log out. Because it'd be freaky for a 32yo male to go into menopause.

That's what going on! Damn! Does this qualify as an excuse to get my doctor to prescribe testosterone?

I think there is more evidence that this forum causes pregnancy than that it brings on menopause. So surf safely.
ok… I've got a psuedo-serious reason why this could be the case:
Creatine usage allows people to lift a bit heavier, or a bit more reps, etc.
Lifting heavy can cause, for some people, hemorrhoids to flare up/get worse/etc.
Hemorrhoid issues would prolly make some people a little cranky.
Ergo… creatine = aggression.
how about micronized creatine? I heard that brand is easier on the stomach and less side effects. I hope I dont get moody or aggressive when I order soon or become argumentive. I am thinking about ordering the micronized creatine (monohydrate). I hope it doesnt change my mood.

It's not a brand. All "micronized" means is that they chopped it up smaller so it dissolves better.
It sounds to me like you've already got so many things in your system, with so many expectations of the potential side effects of each, that your placebos be crossmojinating with your theramones and it's no longer possible to separate physiology from psychosis.
But there's always cheetos.
