Has anyone ever used Splenda for a period of time and then stopped using it and got bad headaches?

I would use about 2-4 packets of it a day and drink only one of those mini cans of diet pepsi for the last year and found that since i started doing that, I crave sugar and carbs consistantly and it's torture to try and resist them everyday.

I researched how bad splenda and artificial sweeteners are for you and how they can keep you from losing weight so I stopped them cold turkey a few days ago and have had very bad headaches everyday ever since and I'm wondering if it is from this.
I hope they go away!!!

On a good note, I have noticed that my sweet/carb cravings have reduced drastically so I'm happy about that. Maybe I can finally reach my goal weight cause it seems like no matter how hard I try, I can never get there. These fake sweeteners I think were messing with my body. Guess I'll find out.

    Have you tried Truvia? It doesn't have any bad chemicals like that and it tastes more like sugar! I just started using it in my coffee and its great!
