For awhile now I have had a two, 20oz bottle per day habit of Diet Dr. Pepper. I decided that all those chemicals, while they may not yet be proven to be bad for me, probably aren't good for me either. Plus the artificial sweetener definitely triggers cravings.
I have gone three days now without and I am getting wierd withdrawal symptoms. I have a slight migraine and feel a little moody. It's not caffeine withdrawal - I still continue to drink coffee and tea, and I have tried to quit those in the past as well and failed, so I know what caffeine withdrawal feels like and this is definitely not it.
Has anyone else experienced aspartame withdrawal when trying to quit diet soda, and about how long did it last? Did you see any medium-to-long term benefits to it once you quit, like reduced cravings etc?
