This was addressed. Creatine is known to need extra water when using to avoid dehydration.

I've never heard of "muscles wrinkling" after stopping creatine useage (Even useage over extended periods). It is true that you will decrease slightly because your cells won't retain as much fluid, but not wrinkling.

Are you citing a source, or do you have a reference for this?

Thanks for the wise words guys. I'll do a little research on the monohydrate and other forms of creatine out there.

Have you guys tried Nitric Oxide?

I'd also talk to a doctor
