My dentist visit yesterday convinced me to give breaking the soda habit another try.

This morning I got diet soda instead of regular.

So all day I've been sipping on a diet cola. And all day I've been feeling more and more... antsy. Twitchy and unsettled, for no particular reason.

Then I vaguely remember reading a study somewhere (and of course I can't find it again), suggesting there's a connection between the "hyperactive" part of ADHD and artificial sweeteners.

Oh.

I guess I really do need to develop a taste for coffee.

A helpful person on my flist pointed out to me that when all other options are unavailable, CVS will sell you caffeine in pill form. This has saved my butt on one occasion.

True enough, but somehow the idea is massively unappealing in anything other than an emergency.
