What a nasty trick. Could have been even worse if the stuff had affected your heart. But still, ick.

Comment to the lots of lots of water comments - it's the thru-put that counts - so if you can force a sweat that will help the detox along. (But don't mess with it if your house is too cold, you don't want to take a chill on top of everything and the water will all get processed one way or another.)

I still love my caffeine but I've been forced to cut back (probably good for me, grumble, grumble) for the unexpected and bizarre reason that a med I'm on (Topamax, a migraine preventive amongst other things) has the unexpected and bizarre side effect of making all carbonated beverages taste HORRIBLE.

Which last paragraph I bring up in case anyone has some good non-fizzy drink suggestions. Not too horrible sweet please? I know coke has tons of sugar, but the total effects wasn't icky sweet unless it went flat or warm. Lemonade is good, but I'd like a bit of variety.

I don't have that side effect from Topamax but then again I never drank much soda to begin with.

It's a 'some people get' side effect, not a 'given' one, and well worth it for the migrane relief. After all, if simply giving up the soda would have stopped them, I would have done that years ago.
