Creatine Monohydrate. Took roughly 5 grams for the first time. Took it with 16oz of water. Drank another 16 after.

No other ingredients.
Now I'm too dizzy to see straight.... the fug?

    That's quite a reaction, are you okay?

    Google says that being dehydrated can cause that. But I drink like... way too much water as it is.
    Ears feel really thick like I've got an ear infection too. :|

    Maybe call a doctor... especially if symptoms are worsening.

    Call the poison hotline or go to the ER. If you don't have someone there at home with you, call someone to come over.

    If you reacted like that too it you must have some sort of sensitivity to it. Don't just take less tomorrow. Talk to your doctor before having any more.

    That being said, make sure it wasn't the result if something else you've ingested instead, from what I've read Creatine is not normally dangerous

    Not too dizzy to post though.

    Here's a tip: if you are having a severe reaction to a supplement (and being dizzy to the point of not being able to "see straight" qualifies), do not waste time posting on the Internet. Call for help and get medical advice.
