Has anyone tried 20g of creatine a day?

I've been taking 5g of creatine for a while (mainly for working out) and liked the cognitive benefits but I keep hearing about how you get the real benefits for your brain by taking 20g. But that sounds like quite a lot..

Has anyone tried 20g per day? Did you notice anymore benefits?

I've not tried 20 grams but if you're thinking about taking that much I'd definitely avoid having it at night. Just taking 5 grams too close to bedtime has me waking up wired in the middle of the night.

Might join you on the experiment.
