Is it possible to have an addiction to diet coke.
Not coke as in cocaine, coke as in diet cola.
My daughter is drinking up to 12 cans of it a day
and if she doesnt have it, she cant seem to concentrate
she freaks out, screams
makes me go out late at night to get her a can.
she is altogetehr calmer and more sociable when she has drunk a few cans of it.
She never normally demands anything, she just puts up with what she has and is happy with it
but with diet coke, its like she needs it to survive.
I’ve asked her why she like sit so much, and she said that when she drinks it, everything is calmer again. she said she feels happier.
I have noticed that when she doesnt have any, she goes very pale and shakey, sometimes being sick and getting dizzy spells.
She was reccently taken off flouroxotine and lorazipan, and i am wondering if her body has replaced one addiction with another.
Is this possible?
She has an addictive personality, and is a severe depression sufferer.
What is the best thing for me to do?
