As today has moved on but my headache has not! The plan for today was to drop down on my Diet Coke intake. I had planned to have 4. I had 1 can in the morning, 1 can before lunch and a 20oz bottle at a meeting this afternoon. It is now almost 6pm and I plan not to have anymore for today. I did not think that this was going to be as painful as it is. I am still suffering a headache that has actually gotten worse since this morning. I have taken ibuprofen and Tylenol with no avail. I have tried to eat but tonight have only been able to drink a Special K protien shake. Along with the headache, I have been lethargic, irritable and jittery with occasional periods of nausea. I am currently laying in bed thinking resting will make me feel better but I can not seem to settle down and relax! The smell of the food my husband is cooking is whafting into the bedroom causing my nausea to increase. I wonder if I would be better off going cold turkey rather than weaning myself off. Unfortunately, I have not found a protocol to assist me in my conquest!
I just did a Google search for Diet Coke addiction and withdrawal. Apparently, there are many people battling Diet Coke addiction in the world. I can find a ton of people blogging about their love for the delicious soda and how terrible they feel. One thing I am not finding is easy ways to feel better. I keep reading about how I should drink lots of water and flush out my system and if I keep with it I will eventually make it through the withdrawal pains. Not exactly what I am looking for but I know that turning back is not going to get me to my goal.
