I started drinking herbal tea at night 10 days ago. I used to drink diet coke.

I now of bags under my eyes and feel tired. What is going on? Have I thrown my body into aspartamene withdrawl?

1. You're on a diet aren't you? Are you taking vitamins?

Be sure you're getting B complex and potassium. Dieting is hard on the body.

3. I'm on a diet but am eating better than I was before. More veggies. Less junk.

5. Even so it might be a good idea to supplement.

6. Yes. I will. I think I have some vitamins in my spice cabinet. I'll get them out now.

2. Have you gone caffeine free?

I would think the caffeine withdrawal would be more noticeable than aspartame.

4. Maybe it is the caffeine withdrawl. I do have a black tea chai which I will

drink to wake up from here on in and see if that works.

7. If I don't get my caffeine I sleep all day.

I can't drink it at night because then I am up all night.

10. We rarely get soda that isn't sugar AND caffeine free. Moxie is one exception.
