Sweetener reaction?

Hey MFPeeps, I just had some iced tea sweetened with equal.... now I feel very weird. Almost drunk. Anyone else ever experience this?

I had to quit drinking fake sweetners because they make the lower have of my body go numb. I did an elimination diet and once they were added back, the numbness came back. I did notice that my brain kind of had a foggy feeling when I went back to them, not necessarily like I was drunk, but a weird feeling.

Yeah.... my tongue's kinda numb and that's exactly it, I feel foggy.

No, have never experienced this, however, I have experienced some weird things since calorie counting. I get a massive high from sugar, and I've pretty much eliminated it from my diet, but twice now I've had a 'sugar high' at random times. I guess the natural sugars are starting to affect me the same way.
