Who else -other than I - believes there's something else in Mountain Dew (soft drink) that's addicting -- in addition to CAFFEINE? ( ok , i know that Dew has more caffeine & sugar than most other soft drinks), but I can drink 2 or 3 times as much of Tea OR Pepsie and it will not help my Mood or lift me up - so to speak------the way Dew does? i think i'm gonna try to gradually cut my dosage down and get off caffeine, because i remember how it felt to be normal when I was pregnant--long ago!
but in past i've tried to get off Dew and find Dew more addicting for me than most nerve med's i've been on and those were MANY?

Its in your mind. I drank mountain dew for years! I just recently started drinking the new pepsi jazz (has no calories) and I feel no difference! When I say recently I mean three weeks.

I have to admit that I feel a total difference between days that I start off with a Mountain Dew and days that I don't. I'm pretty sure that it's just the caffeine and perhaps the accompanying sugar rush. It's not like I go crazy wanting one if I go without it for a few days. I guess Mountain Dew is for me what coffee is for others.

Nothing in "the Dew" other than larger amounts of caffeine and sugar per dosage. However, you obviously enjoy the taste of it and that also is addicting.
There does not to be an addictive chemical present to make you have a strong craving that may or may not be an addiction. A perfect example, many people that are severely overweight are "addicted" to food. Any food...pizza, burgers, sweets, etc. Even though these items do not necessarily have any chemically addictive items.

I had a cousin and a sister in law who were both addicted to Mountain Dew...big time! The caffiene eventually got to them and they just stopped drinking it...My cousin did switch to diet dew which is a little better & my SIL went to water... You might have a headache for a couple of days, but after that you'll be fine...
