I've been missing 2 teeth on the right side of my face for many years now, and although that was embarrassing, I always found solice in the fact that I had "one good side". Three nights ago, a tooth from that "good side" just broke off and fell onto my tongue while I was on the phone.
Since then, I've shamefully drank a 2liter of the crap. I am totally disgusted with myself. I hereby publicly claim to never have another sip. VERY difficult to type! And just a note Sugar is worse on your teeth than smoke! I only drink one can of MD per day and I know I am addicted. If I don't drink that one can of MD by noon, the headache begins to develop. It continues to get worse until I take pain meds or drink a dew.
I never thought that just one can per day could become a problem. Once I began drinking diet dew I started havin terrible panic attacks. I am just now reading about this health problem being caused by Mt. I am going to quit as of thirty minutes ago.
If there is anyone out there who had panic attacks each day and was helped by quitting MD or any other ways helping with the panic attacks the please e-mail me at garybpm1 yahoo. I quit drinking it after a root canal October I lost 65 pounds, and have kept it off since. I found Crystal Light Wild Strawberry has enough caffeine to stop the headache and it's sweet enough that I don't have those cravings.
I haven't touched the stuff since! And I used to drink a 6 pack of 24 oz. I was quite addicted to the stuff myself. All better now and feeling great! The sweetness and tartness in it kinda help you forget about MD :o. I am drinking my 5th 2 liter today as I'm reading this, lol. I do have an addiction. Its not mountain dew your addicted to. I love mountain dew! I drink a 24 pack a day of it every day.
I don't drink anything else. A lot of times I don't even eat because it has so many calories in it that it fills me up. Im not over weight and i have no side effects from it. I am glad I am not alone. I'm sick of the stares from my family and friends. But that first bubbly cold gulp down my throat will send me into complete bliss. Okay, my stomach hurts sometimes after and I can crash, i'm showing signs of diabetes even though i weigh lbs.
But it's everywhere and so cheap. Can't I have just ONE smut habit. I'm so healthy, but the Dew is holding me back For all my fellow addicts out there, Put it in the freezer, let it freeze almost fully Drink a cup full of that shit What happens is the water freezes before all the good shit does.. Also the comment at the end of the article about Dew being easier to quit then things such as marijuana, are you kidding me?
Marijuana has been proven not to be addictive and has more health benefits then most manufactured drugs. Marijuana is not easy hard to quit in the least bit. I'm an avid smoker, I smoke for anxiety symptoms and pain relief, when I go without smoking I don't feel bad at all, I feel fine. I'm a little more stressed out but that's it. Whoever wrote this article needs to do some real research before writing stuff like this, wikipedia doesn't cut it. Also I've stopped drinking dew on several occasions, i have a headache for about 3 days then it's gone and I am caffiene free and feel fine.
Those of you who "can't" quit, it's because you don't want to not because your addicted. Everyone thinks it's strange you drink so much dew, that you start to think it's strange so you try to convince others that you are addicted and can't quit rather then tell them you don't want to quit drinking it.
Either that or you are all just very weak willed people. Caffiene takes 2 hours to affect your body after consumption, it then takes 6 hours after the affects begin for your body to rinse it all out.
Myself and DugL are shining examples that you are all full of shit. Dew is not addictive, it is the caffiene in Mt. All the symptoms listed are caused by caffiene. Yes the sugar is bad to, but it does not cause all of the problems that are listed. I drink Diet Dew, switched from regular because I didn't want the massive sugar intake anymore for the simple fact that I wanted to lose weight.
I drink up to 3 liters of Diet dew a day, I am not obese,I am not tired and or lethargic, and my energy levels are consistant. I don't get insomnia, I don't have sugar crashes and never have, The only cavities I've ever had is two from when I was a child before I even drank mt.
Caffiene is the addiction,when you are addicted to caffiene and you go without, you get massive headaches because the caffiene makes your blood vessels expand, when you don't have caffiene they contract causing headaches, usually severe that can last up to 5 days in some people. It's just like any drug, when you cut it from your system your body goes into shock for a while until it can normalize itself.
Sugar is not bad unless you eat it from a bag with a spoon. Also as far as kidney stones and such, like I said I drink up to 3 liters a day, I have had kidney stones in the past but that was when I was drinking coke.
Since I stopped drinking coke and picked up mt. Kidney stones are caused by a lack of water, not caffiene or anything else in mt. Don't be hating on mt. This is a real addiction. It really gets under my skin that people laugh about it. I have had about a cup of mtn dew today because its all i had left and I have been groggy all day with a headache and mood swings.
And I have 2 young children to take care of! So, no.. If I didn't have to go through this I wouldn't! I drink about a 2 liter a day SHE IS 3! I first drank it for the energy boost because I was sleep deprived Its like my body is just giving up on me! Does anyone know about how long it takes to kick this??? I feel like I might die!! Sugar affects some people much more than others and is obviously addictive to them.
You probably wont be able to quit by will power. They include sugar, beer, wine, liquor, white bread, white rice Education is key. Im horribly addicted to it i don't eat much but all i mainly consume is mt dew i fainted going 1 day without it sounds silly but when ppl tell me to stop i get a axienty breakdown cant shake it. My dr and family think im nuts. Agh zero support and zero help. I have been drinking Mt Dew for many years and have put on weight can't sleep at night yet i feel so very tired all the time..
I am a stay at home mom i keep my house clean i do all the yard work but still don't loose a single pound..
If i don't have the dew i get migrains to where i'm sick.. I don't know what to do i don't hardly drink anything else and water just tastes so bland.. I never beleaved i could ever get addicted to pop how in the world could this ever happen : i'm so lost i want to stop and get it over with but i have to admit this is one of the hardest things i have ever went through..
I have thought about taking caffine pills just to avoid the headaches but then i don't want to be addicted to a pill either ugg so stressed over this, anyone have any advice please email me.. Been drinking it since I was I am I drink a firm 12 pack a day. I admit my addiction. I have 4 wonderful children. My work has a ship mechanic is physically demanding. I honestly cant think of one day I haven't had mountian dew.
I will tell you this. The Product is being blamed. Just like Cigs, you choose to put it in your mouth. Just Don't. I am in great physical shape and still keep up with the 20 year olds however, its not how much of this you consume, its how much you can burn off that you consume. Exercise people!
If your lazy Mountian Dew is not going to help you. If you sweat for 12 hours a day and drink water a 12 pack a day is not going to hurt you. I am living proof. PS drink cans not bottles and save the aluminum. I have a six pack of dew before lunch, every day. Tried to stop several times, but i always get a headache by 10am if i don't have at least one. Absolutely agree. Shakes, cold sweats, hot sweats, pounding headache, upset stomach, etc. I'm more than a little worried, and i think i will drastically cut down on my Mt.
Dew intake. Its addictive because of the brominated vegetable oil. That's why Mello Yello still doesn't quite cut it for you in a pinch. I have all the symptoms. I wanna give it up but at the same time I can't! I wanna give it up, but I don't at the same time. My friends call me MD because I'm an addict I'm not overweight, as I exercise not a lot but enough to keep me in shape etc And whenever I don't get MD to drink I get so depressed, and tired But maybe if I limit myself But it's hard because on the weekends no one s here to forbid me from drinking more than two Right now I'm even drinking Mt dew and I've noticed that my heart feels heavier also.
Idk if that's bad or even connected to mt. Dew but my friends all joke I'm gonna die by the stuff. Even now my heart is clenching Not a heart attack or anything, just a mild pain in my chest Tried mtn dew voltage for the first time yesterday and then last night I woke up with vibrations and insomnia.
Really weird I am an MD addict. I fit all the catagories above. I consume 8 to 12 a day. I can even drink an intire can in the middle of the night and go back to sleep in less then 5 minutes been like this for going on 15 years. I do not tho crave any sweets actualy hate candy and other sugary snacks. So i yes i belive that MD is addictive and i have no clue how to stop without making my family suffer i am a mother of 4.
I was born with Atopic Dermatitis and was allergic to almost everything, especially grass but it did not prevent me from playing football through high school. At age 4 or 5, I was told by doctors to drink MD because there was nothing in it I was allergic to. I am now That makes over 40 years of heavy consumption never less than 6 a day, sometimes more than Absolutely nothing for me to go through a case in 2 days.
I just visited the dentist day before yesterday, not pretty.
