Lisa, that's caffeine withdrawal!!! Every time I tried to give up Diet Coke, I would get SEVERE headaches and I also got very dizzy. It took about 5 or 6 days for that to pass. I drink a lot of water now and if I once in a while "fall off the wagon" and drink Diet Coke, it tastes funny to me but I'm sure if I started drinking it again on a regular basis, I'd be addicted. Once a DC addict, always a DC addict.

Ok... here goes!

Hi! My name is Misty and I am a Coke-aholic. It's a life long disease but I have been clean since January of 2007 (as long as you look past a weekend binge in Oxford.)

Step 1: Put down the coke!
Step 2: Resist the urge to drink Coke and suffer through hell week! Coke is like crack and you are addicted.
Step 3: Drink 100 oz of water a day. You'll be so full you won't want to drink anything else.
Step 4: Never drink Coke again. Anytime I have 1 Coke, I go nutso and HAVE to have another and another and another. If I have even a taste now, I'll crave it for days afterwards. Now if I need the fizz of Coke, I drink a Sprite.

that explains why it never happens to me because I am also a coffee drinker

Same thing with my friend Lizzy! She drinks coffee and I do not. We both gave up Diet Coke at the same time and I got SEVERE headaches and she didn't.

MyLadies · 10-20-2008, 01:37 PM

Yep. Add me to the list of Caffeine Addiction. I get headaches if I don't have any caffeine by afternoon. I do coffee, and tea. I don't like Diet Coke. But if I have no other source of Caffeine, I'll drink it.

I weened myself off Caffeine a few years ago. Just cold turkey. I started drinking decaf coffee (it has a "little caffeine"), and aspirin or Ibuprofen for the headaches. But now I"m back on caffeine, I just couldn't stay away from all the good coffee out there. Decaf is so limited on flavors.

Docs told me I need to get off Caffeine for a lump in my booby.

It's nothing and never will be anything.... so... I'm bad, after a year of suffering thru bad tasting decafs I slowly went back onto caffeine. Booby lump remains unchanged!

I am a terrible coke (a cola) addict. I drink it first thing in the morning, all day and late at night. I have been drinking it for 40 plus years. My son and dtr switched to diet Dr. Pepper and say they can't tell the difference, I can!!! I did have a cherry lime aid today instead of a coke when my son and I went out for breakfast!!! It's a start!

emilyann · 10-20-2008, 02:59 PM

MMM I love any kind of "coke". All the stuff that isn't good for you. Then, I got a UTI so I've been trying my hardest to stay away from them... I usually succeed for a day

PANAMA69 · 10-20-2008, 03:10 PM

I have been addicted since very young age

, when I was doing the Susan Summer's diet I stop drinking it it was great, but that was couple years ago and now I'm back, my hubby also get few at the time because he don't like coke, and he know I will drink them all in couple days

, he was so into pepsi but have months and months since he has any

but me I crave it so bad, I haven't had it in couple days maybe that is why I wake up this past two days with a headache also

My name is Betsi, and I'm a Diet Coke addict, too. I have one as soon as I wake up, and I take one to bed with me every night. I also drink them all day long. My husband says if I got cut..I would bleed diet coke

Did you feel really bad for those 5 or 6 days??

J_is_my_initial · 10-20-2008, 04:25 PM

Years ago hubby and I went cold turkey from regular coke to diet coke. I swear 2 months later there was an article in the paper saying regular coke sales were down and diet coke sales were up. I just know it was because of us!

Every time I decide it's time to cut the Coca Cola out of my life, I go through withdrawal for a couple of days. I normally have headaches almost every day but when I go through withdrawal it's much more severe. After 3 days it eases up and I go for months without craving a coke. I've recently started trying to drink more water with Diet Arizona Green Tea with honey for a treat and found that it satisfies me. I like iced tea but have to say this doesn't taste like "tea". It's really refreshing. Hopefully this will help with weight loss! I feel for all of us who crave Coke. You can drink it all day and still not get satisfied. Talk about empty calories!
