Preworkout w/o creatine?

Any suggestions for a good preworkout WITHOUT creatine? I'm taking a medicine currently that can cause dehydration and have many ill effects when mixed with creatine. I have 1MR, N O Explode, and realized for the time being I can't even use them. :(

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

(Oh and I should mention I have generalized anxiety disorder. So if its just crazy high in caffeine it might be no Bueno)

    Platinum PRE is a pretty good pre-workout, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have too much caffeine or any creatine either.

    Personally, I don't think preworkout supps are nessesary at all if your overall diet is good. If you need a little extra energy, have some coffee before working out. Caffiene is usually the active ingredient in these pwo supps.

    I agree on all counts. Eat a small meal an hour or two before the workout and go with that - I've just never felt the need for something to get me all jacked up.

    I forgot to mention I have uncontrolled hypothyroid. So my energy level is like 0. :(

    Thanks for the suggestions though!!!
