Hi @cathy5161
Thank you! I have been researching more about creatine supplementation recently. The relationship between creatine and epilepsy is not yet fully understood and requires further investigation.
In my mother's last neurology appointment (she has Alzheimer's), her neurologist told us that creatine might be beneficial for preventing Alzheimer's. She recommended I increase my dosage from 1 scoop (3 g) to 2 scoops a day (6 g). I have been following this new regimen for about three weeks, not noticing any cognitive improvement yet. Perhaps it is too early to observe measurable effects. I plan to discuss this supplementation with my epileptologist during my upcoming appointment.
I initially struggled with creatine's poor solubility in water. However, a friend who also takes creatine for other purposes suggested mixing it into yogurt instead, which has proven much more effective. It is worth trying!
