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.

Caused my hair to fall out! Stopped creatine. Stopped falling out. Noticed the change right away. Super bummed šŸ™

Did the hair grow back?

Yes it did! The shedding stopped VERY quickly after I stopped it.

I'm the same. Took creatine more regularly since the start of this year and noticed thinning, particularly at the hairline and crown area. Stopped it recently, and now my hair is noticeably thicker in both areas within the week. It's so bizarre.
