Diet soda= headaches?

WhisperAnne

I've been drinking diet soda for years, and have just recently started to notice I get intense headaches if I drink to much of it. I've been slowly cutting back but have not cut the cord fully yet.( No the headaches are not from me cutting back, I've quit cold turkey and never experienced this before!) Has anyone else noticed having headaches from diet soda? a close friend of mine cant drink diet drinks because she is allergic to Aspartame. I cant see that being my problem as I've never before gotten headaches like this from diet soda.

Maybe it's an issue of too much caffeine? I've never had a problem with them. I was getting terrible migraines last fall, but I think I was actually drinking less diet soda and sweetener in general than I do now. Cold weather means more tea!

Has cutting back helped at all? If not, it might be something else causing them.

I drink tons of caffeine everyday, and right this minute I'm drinking tea lol. Ugh my head hurts so bad.
