Does anyone get this effect from creatine?

[Syringer]

I've noticed after being on creatine for about a week now that my face seems to be puffing out a bit. Is this normal?

Creatine causes water retention, which is probably what's making your face a bit puffy. If it's not too bad I'd ignore it. If you stop taking creatine it'll go away (if the creatine is indeed causing it) fairly quickly.

doesnt that stuff shrink your nads and make you sterile?

creatine makes your muscles retain water, which is what makes you look bigger. After you are done bulking up, you can lose the water weight and hopefully be stronger than you were pre creatine. I've never used it, but thats how its supposed to work.
