The first time I took creatine (6g IIRC), I actually felt the mental effect just 2 minutes later. A pleasurable sensation of augmented presence and (mental) relaxation.

I paused taking that momentarily out of precaution while I wait some physical issue to normalize, but I plan to resume it in some weeks. Also it is considered a very safe supplement.

Did you inject or smoke it in order to feel "the mental effect just 2 minutes later"? Taken orally it can only be placebo effect.

How can you be sure you weren't placebo'ing yourself into feeling it?

To my knowledge creatine has no significant effects until your levels rise after, say, a week of taking daily
