It simply doesn't make sense that they'd become more irratible. Maybe not enough water with it, or probably, supplement stacking. But I mean, if I eat beef instead of chicken does my tempter rise? I douno, it's probably something else since Creatine is absolutely all-natural and found in high-protein foods.
It's not so much the time, as it is with how soon you do it after meals. When you do it depends on what you're going for:
after early morning meal of carbs- losing weight mass/ toning muscles
after lunch meal- gaining mostly muscle ONLY
after dinner meal (that's high on carbs)- gaining mass in general (good if you want to be a football player or whatever)
Most people will do it at night out convienience- who's home for that long during the day? Also, working out at night might not be as good because proteins will take about 8-12 hours to digest, perfect at about 2 or 3, but at 8pm you'll be awake before the protein monomers can be applied. Not that it won't work at all, just that the protein that you happen to eat after the workout at the time won't be applied.
For best results, eat proteins and water after workout, carbs before. All that carbohydrates are are simply saccharides. (Carbohydrates=hydrocarbons) Meaning that technically, sugars help too. Just ADD them to your food, like chocolate milk or whatever. Usually bodybuilders use aspartame or replacements to sugar because it takes a relatively high number of sugar saccharides to sweeten something. A pepsi 12 oz. might take 42 grams, while if aspartame is used instead, for the same sugar level it might take 5 or 6 grams. Aspartame will do damage to your brain, since it runs on glucose and aspartame chemically is a poor replacement for sugar. And so your brain isn't getting a proper diet with sugar replacements.
Generally, since sugars are the simplest carbs (the simplest actually- fructose, maltose, lactose, and *sucrose*) Try to look for complex carbs. They're the fuel of your workout. Simple sugars give you good energy for a short time/ complex give you good energy over a long period.Try to get both. Protein is like the brick you need AFTER the earthquake to rebuild the city.
All creatine does it pack water in the target muscle cells to expand them and give them stamina, ie keep them healthy and strong. Because of osmosis, if you stop taking creatine, you will lose only a SMALL amount. Probably not even noticeable. It's not like your muscles will shrink if you stop, but you may lose 1/100 or so of your size if you DEHYDRATE. Each person is born with X number of muslce cells. Working out doesn't give you more msucle cells, but hardens and expands the ones you already have. Creatine hydrates them too. Stop taking it, and nothing should hapen unless you stop drinking water too. Then, your body will drain the water from the muscles.
But you know what? Your body drains water from your muscles and shrinks them naturally when you dehydrate even if you DON'T take creatine. No matter what you lose water mass from your muscles. It's just that if you take it, keep well-hydrated, stop taking it, and keep well-hydrated, it'll be like nothing different except that you have extra mass.
Wether you take creatine or not, keep well-hydrated or your muscless will SLIGHTLY shrink. The fact is that most people aren't aware of that and so attack creatine on grounds that you might lose it. Well, you ALWAYS lose water mass whenever you dehydrate.
A note on fat cells too. We're all born with X number of adipose cells. If you get "fatter", you don't gain more adipose cells, but simply start stroring more lipids and fats and sometimes Vitamins such as K too.
Just thought you'd like to know. TTYL Jesusl oves you!
Personally, I'd rather be able to bench 300 and LOOK like I could bench 1000, then be able to bench a thousand and look like I could bench 300.

IMO, from my hard experiece, the greatestfault is to over train. It is not just a matter of letting your muscles recover, you have to let your kidneys, pancreas, liver, & spleen recover. After a hard workout, it can be weeks before you body can support muscle growth.
