I'm a habitual Diet Coke drinker. Up to a 6 pack a day. I'm trying to cut the sodas out and drink more things that are better for me like water and green tea.

I'm so CRANKY. I'm feeling down right mean. How long does the detox take? Seriously I'm not fit to be around at the moment.

I don't think I was cranky when I went off of soda, but I had bad cravings that subsided after about a week or two. I don't remember exactly, but it wasn't too long.

I'm assuming that you weren't drinking decaf diet, so the caffeine withdrawals are probably compounding the problem. Maybe add in more tea or coffee until you are off of the soda awhile?

no decaf. I swear quitting smoking was easier than this. Tea does very little to ease the insane cravings. I'm not fond of coffee without a ton of cream and sugar so it's a no go.
