I am broke as a joke and can't afford any creatine. I havent had it for about 3 weeks. I noticed I dropped about 2 or 3 pounds but lifting wise I have been putting up more weight then normal. Is there any other side effects I should have within the next few weeks?

Creatine is a subtle supplement. You won't die without it. There's a lot of great benefits from it's supplementation, but as with most supplements, it isn't really a requirement. You probably will lose some water retention which accounts for weight loss. Other than that, you won't notice much else.

You might not want to take it so often I only cycle creatine a couple times a year. I really don't see a need for much more than that

You just lose a few lbs of water.

He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't fuck with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf"
