Caffeine Withdrawls I haven't had any diet soda in 5 days and I am absolutely miserable! I have terrible migraines, dizziness, I'm exhausted and grumpy lol. Have any of you been through this? My dad told me it's very common and can last a few weeks :eek: |
Good for you! Keep it up! You can do it!!:hug: About five years ago, I stopped drinking cokes (mtn. dew was my addiction) cold turkey. BUT I had a root beer the other day....omg!!:eek:....now, I crave one! It's tough, but I know it is sooo worth it! |
It's probably much more due to your body withdrawing from the artificial sweeteners than the caffeine. If you've gone 5 days now, you should be feeling better within the next two-three days. Hang in there, it will get better and you will feel much better!! |
I was a big coke drinker. Its all i drank. and i kept getting fatter and fatter.Woke up one morning and thought im done. Drank cranberry juice the first couple of days. And had no withdrawls..Within 3 months i dropped 5 inches and almost 20 lbs..Now all i drink is water...I cant stand the taste of coke or sprite now.. |
My sister is now trying to lose weight I told her to start with giving up her coke, tea and coffee. but she hasn't been able to do it.. |
I wish that I could stop. I used to always drink Dr. Pepper and then I decided to switch to Diet Dr. Pepper and that took me a little while to get used to. Now, I cannot stand regular Dr. Pepper (too sweet!!) and I am thinking of making the switch to caffeine-free D.P....then, I ultimately, want off soda completely! I also get Migraines so I understand where you are coming from. :( Keep up the good work...hopefully,I will be right there with ya one day. :rolleyes: Tammy |
When I switched to decaf coffee, I just couldn't do it cold turkey. I had to wean myself off slowly. Good for you but I would think you should be feeling better soon. |
Thank you guys, it is so so tough. I took an excedrin migraine which I know has caffeine and it helped a little. My DH bought me a diet pepsi trying to help, as I was whining *lol* -- I took one sip and dumped the whole thing out, it just did NOT taste the same. It's amazing how our taste buds can change so quickly! |
Everytime I try to quit cokes if I go for more thatn 48 hrs without one, I get MASSIVE headaches, so bad I lay in my bed and cry. Good LUck givng up the caffiene, i know its something I need to do too. |
Now, I find drinking coffee helps me to lose weight...I drink almost a pot a day, and then I pee all day, but, I drink it black..I tried going one day without the caffeine, got a terrible headache and decided giving up my coffee wasn't going to happen...good luck...take some deep breaths in and out of a paper bag, that's supposed to help with the migraines.. |
Oh I feel for ya, Iam a very heavy coffee drinker and diet coke, I will get terrible headaches without it, Hope you stick to it though:) :thumbup: |
