[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are using the caffeinated Diet Coke, you should probably taper to avoid a headache. Can you calculated how many ounces you drink daily? I would start with cutting back 25%-50% to start. While you are doing this, increase water. Stay at the reduced amount for a few weeks and then, reduce again.[/quote]

Yes I drink caffeinated. Should have mentioned that as another issue - I get caffeine withdrawal headaches any day I don't drink enough caffeine at this point.

I am increasing water and making sure I get at least one cup of coffee a day to try to reduce the headaches.

I just find it too addictive to taper down, to be honest. [/quote]

Note that caffeine takes 72 hours to wear itself out of your system.  If you drink caffeine enough to get withdrawal symptoms (heachaches), then it will take 72 hours without adding more caffeine to get out of the cycles.  The best way is to wean down.  Decrease your daily consumption roughly 1/3 at a time and you should be able to wean yourself off in 3 days.[/quote]
