Can you overdose on Pepsi? I don't mean a lethal one, but...
The only thing I can think of having done is drinking too much soda.
I've been sick for several days with the following:
fever (99.6 to 101.4)
exhaustion
stomach cramps
muscle aches (mostly in the legs)
I have polycistic ovarian syndrome (which has something to do with sugar levels in the blood?) and I'm on... zonisimide ... for it.
Other than that, I can't figure out what it could be. It isn't the flu...
I've been drinking large amounts of water and trying to eat things like eggs and toast.
I'm realllly miserable here.

It is possible to OD on caffeine that is in the pepsi, but you would have to drink an insane amount for that to happen.
I would guess you just have the flu or something.

I'm sorry you are sick. Since you have a 'low grade fever' it is not a 'Pepsi overdose' that is causing you to feel this badly, but drinking too much of any soft drink (including a diet soft drink) can make you feel WORSE. As long as you are feeling ill, don't drink ANY soft drink (or even 'sparkling water) ... and after you feel better, please LIMIT yourself to no more than one 12 ounce can of all soft drinks in a 24 hour period. This may also help with your 'female' problem ... and if you continue to feel sick, talk to your doctor and see if you couldn't be having 'bad side effects' from the medication you are on ... that is much more likely with the symptoms you described. Meanwhile, drink at least a gallon of water (but no more than that) every day, but don't eat the eggs ... try toast, applesauce, and rice, since they are all very 'mild' and also somewhat 'binding' which may help your stomach cramps, since I'll bet your 'bowels' are also 'loose' ...

With trouble with blood sugar, any soda- such as Pepsi- can be a problem.
Water is good, and perhaps some light toast will help. Have you tried using cinnamon or almonds to help level out your blood sugar? There are a number of diabetics in my family who do that successfully. But I really don't know how that relates to polycistic ovarian syndrome, or how it will react to your medicine.
Feel better, Honey. And if you don't, contact your doctor.

Let me ask you a question. Why would you drink Soda which is high in sugar, if you have a problem with blood sugar?
Some of what you described are diabetic symptoms. Go see a doctor.

Sounds like a virus. Pepsi won't cause you to have a fever.

do you make your eggs and toast greasy cause that could contribute to giving you cramps as well.
Stop drinking pepsi (just for a little bit, Im a diet pepsi addict myself)

Flu-like symptoms are "one" of the side effects of Zonisamide. Also be sure to drink lots of water when taking it to reduce the risk of kidney stones. Read the precautionary information that is provided with Zonisamide or talk to the pharmacists about interactions with other elements and the side effects.

I don't know I have only heard of large amounts of Pepsi causing horrible stomach aches and a little vomiting, but it could possibly
be the Pepsi look up whatever you've got on Wikipedia, if you look it up look at the causes of it. There could be NO article on it on Wikipedia if theres not idk. Make sure you spell it right of you search it on Wiki.

Well soda is nothing more than sugar water. If your not supposed to have alot of sugar, you need to stop drinking Pepsi. It has no nutritional value, start drinking water.
