I quit fake sugar and it's been hell. Any horror stories to share?

When I’ve tried getting off the caffiene, I find that if I drink a lot of water that seems to help. And take some Tylenol. It should pass within a few days.

@kikibirdjones: It doesn’t sound to me like you suffered any physical effects at all from “fake sugar” withdrawal. 100% of what you said could be attributed to caffeine.

@malevolentbutticklish I think you’re right. I guess what I really want to know is in the last part of that question.

I’m trying to edit my question, but I don’t see an option!

@kikibirdjones: The option to edit has expired by now. I have never had any problem with withdrawal. Just schedule it at the most reasonable convenient time where it will have the least effect on work and don’t be a wuss.

Hahaha, good advice @malevolentbutticklish.

I dont like fake sugar, I prefer real sugar, I dont drink sodas so i ony consume sugar in my coffee most of the time

Quitting caffeine after having it daily is very tough. The headaches are almost unbearable. I would recommend tea instead to relieve the headache. It has a much smaller amount of caffeine and isn’t bad for you like the carbonated syrup you’re used to.

@silverfly Good idea. I’m not trying to quit caffeine, really….just the fake sugar and carbonation. I think the caffeine withdrawl was tougher than nicotine withdrawl, honestly. Ugh.

@kikibirdjones: Quit carbonation? Why?

@silverfly: Quitting caffeine is easy. You have a headache for a couple days big deal.

@malevolentbutticklish Yeah, but they’re not typical headaches that go away with tylenol. They’re debilitating.

@silverfly: Actually a nap may help them. They are due to blood vessel dilation.
