No affect

I never noticed any mood affect and only a slight muscular increase. I'm no longer taking the stuff, but just because of the time/expense/reward factor not being good enough. I don't compete any more, so my workouts are mostly for fun and maintenance anyway.

If your taking it as a supplement after your workout... Your mood changes might be due to increased testosterone due to your workout...

When I was taking creatine it did mess with my moods a little bit. Nothing too extreme, but I found myself being more easily annoyed/irritated. It usually wore off after a while. The thing that helped me the most was making sure that I was always fully hydrated to counteract the effects of being so darn moody.

couldn't agree more about the hydration. Right after taking the creatine, you need to drink 8-12 oz of water, this will help the absorption and allow the creatine to more evenly enter your system.

Creatine didn't make me grumpy it just made me feel bloated all the time.

Real Juice

I've done real "juice" in the past, so compared to that I consider creatine affects minimal. Now I'm 50 and weigh 225 while still squatting 500 lbs and benching 350 lbs on somewhat of a weekly basis, so I guess I'm hanging in there.

It's highly unlikely that creatine is leading to your grumpiness.
