Ok, I'm 14, & I went 2 the Dr. for my yearly check-up, & my Dr. said I was about 15 pounds over weight. I drink a lot of Dr.Pepper. So I switched 2 diet Dr.Pepper, & went on a little diet. Well I guess from the diet I started drinking about 6 to 10 or more diet Dr.Perppers a day. I lost the 15 pounds & started drinking water instead of diet Dr.Pepper recently. & now that I have started drinking water instead of diet soda, I'm tossing and turning all night, my muscles are sore & wanting to jerk and move, my nose is running, my eyes r watering, I'm getting aggravated and mad really bad for no reason & I'm felling just plain sick. & this started like a night after I switched 2 water from diet soda. about 4 days ago. so yesterday I drank a diet soda & I felt a lot better. No more of those symptoms. & I was just wondering if this could B Aspertame addiction withdrawals? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

It's more likely a caffeine withdrawal. Try tapering off, or substitute a cup of tea. Hot tea and diet Dr. Pepper have about the same amount of caffeine.
