I took 30grams of creatine in one day.
(didnt know that the pills contained 10grams) and on the label it said 1-3 pills per day.

So the day after I felt quite sick.Smile
SO i took 2 pills instead of one,
And today im going 2 take 1 pill.
I hope/think that I pissed out the 30 grams on the first day

Shaceb,

Drink a whole lot of water, keep your system flushed out. Creatine has always given me stomach problems.

With respect

You might want to check your numbers again.  a 10 gram pill would be the size of a golf ball.  1 gram = 1000 milligrams.  Very few supplement or pharmaceutical companies make pills in larger than 1 gram increments -they're just too big to swallow.

More likely, the label says 1 serving contains 10 grams.

In either case, I wouldn't go so far as to call it an "overdose".  Most creatine doses are in the 3.5 to 5 gram range, and many people still advocate the "loading" phase process of consuming four times that much in one day.  Even in divided doses, that may be a lot (and many people consider it unnecessary), but it's not an overdose.

Yes, that's me in my avatar, and NO, I don't look like that today. That was taken back in Jan '07, and I lost most of that progress when I slacked off last year. I'm on my way back, tho, and I'm using that photo for inspiration.

Yeah what veg said, my old creatine is in 5.25 gram increments every 25 grams serving in powder.
tastes bloody lovely, shame about the side effects.
My advice to you, is to simply not cycle it.
Do drink water, lots, but beware, you piss a lot, and you get bloated like bloody mad.

LOL. yeah you where right man, it says 1000mg. My bad.

But somewhere on this forum I've something like: bodyweightx0,3=grams of creatine u should take per day.
So thats like 20 grams right? Wich I is like 20 pills, so I guess this is wrong....
