And then there's the big factor - Pepsi Max. Or should I say, LACK OF.
For the last few months, there's never been a shortage of the beverage dubbed "Smax" in Lawrence Court. I pound the stuff breakfast, noon and night. I live on it. Since I began work I haven't had my usual endless supply of it. It didn't take me long to realise I am having caffeine withdrawals of a severe kind. Even as I type this now I feel hungover. I haven't had alcohol for like 2 weeks.
So I'm gonna give up Smax. It's not healthy to be so dependent on the stuff. I'm weaning myself off (had some coffee today) but the pain remains for now!
I read something somewhere about Pepsi Max having another addictive ingredient other than caffeine? Just goog'd it quickly, couldn't find it, but if anyone knows anything about this let me know!
I've still got a bit of assignment and an exam to go. So my timing could have been better. Oh well!
I want it so bad... |
Ever thought you might have some sort of intolerance?
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing years back and turns out I am intolerant to a few things (although I have a fairly high threshold). But when I eat too much stuff I shouldn't, generally I get the same sort of thing (migraines etc.)
That would make sense, its just that I haven't really made any changes to my diet (except the pepsi max removal). It isn't cool!
ReplyDeleteNo I could imagine...the headaches I used to get were terrible.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem like that's the issue though...especially if its just starting now
Caffeine withdrawal headaches are the worst!!! exams and studying make it harder, because you neeeeed that coffee to cram in that little bit of extra stuff that will be totally useless after the exam.
ReplyDeletefrom experience, gradually withdrawing is much better, along with some panadol if it gets too hard (but not two tablets, just one?).
good luck, many have tried and failed to give up the worst best legal high
Yeah it sucks! I'm about 4 days without now, feeling better today than before, and its my first day with no caffiene whatsoever. Had a couple of coffees the last few days. Getting there!!
ReplyDeleteUghh, what other dangerous ingredient is in that pepsi max? Booo! lol
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to give up on that smax thing.

I really don't believe in diet soft drink of any sort, if you're going to drink soft drink indulge in the near lethal doses of sweetener like the rest of us fattys!
ReplyDeleteI like the taste of Pepsi Max better! My teeth always feel horrendous after drinking the sugary stuff!
