Should be the other way around if you had to choose.

*are there any side effects to mixing them?
|
No. However, it would be better postworkout to take your creatine in conjunction with dextrose (either the actual powder or grape juice), then 10-15 minutes later your whey protein.

*Do you only take Creatine on workout days?
|
Every day in order to keep your body's creatine stores maxed. On nonworkout days I like to use 10 grams as soon as I wake up with some dextrose.

*How much time b4 the work out should you take it?
|
Either 5 grams preworkout and 5 grams post, OR what most people do, 10 grams postworkout only. 30 minutes preworkout should be fine.

*I heard that it's good to take creatine after the workout, is this true?
|
Absolutely. Your muscles will be slightly depleted of glycogen and hungry for nutrients so to speak. By taking creatine in conjunction with dextrose (sugar) postworkout, it will shuttle into your muscles optimally.

I have been taking two 725mg tablets b4 and after the workout,*is that a good dose?
|
If it's creatine mono tabs, you're definately underdosed. You should be taking more like 12-14 (9-10 grams) postworkout. Pills are convenient, but powder is not only cheaper, but easier to use (swallow)
