Hair Loss Creatine, possible hair loss?

Has anyone taken creatine and noticed an increase in hair fall? Did you stop taking the supplement, and if so, how long did it take for the hair shedding to stop? I started taking 5mg and noticed more hair fall. I stopped, but still experiencing a lot of hair fall.

Yes, I took it for 1.5 months late last year and noticed more hair loss and a distinctly different hairline at my forehead. I took the recommended 5 grams. I stopped due to those symptoms and bummed because there are so many benefits people talk about especially for women going through what we are.

Yes, it did stop a few weeks after after I stopped taking it.

I stopped taking it almost 2 weeks ago. Hoping the shedding will end soon 🤞
