Once I was just drinking the water, I figured life would be a lot better.  About a week or two into drinking the water, I began to feel ill.  I was drinking four or five bottles a day at this time. My stomach would feel upset and I had bouts of diarrhea. This progressed into high levels of anxiety, vomiting, and depression. I never thought it might be caused by the water until my wife told me to try to drink normal (plain) water and see what happens.

So, now I am drinking water and milk and seem to be doing much better. I decided to do a search on Splenda and found your website.  I was amazed at how many problems this stuff has caused. Here is my bio.  Hopefully, it will help others decide that they are in the same boat I was:

I am a 29-year old male. I am 6'3" and weigh 235 pounds. I take Neurontin for anxiety, Prilosec for acid reflux, and Zoloft for depression that I've had since I was 19. I work 40 hours a week at a desk job.  I have a wife and a newborn. I basically have a normal, happy life and don't have much to stress out about. The problem is that I will make myself stress out over nothing sometimes.

I understand I already had the anxiety, depression, and stomach problems before I started using Splenda, but I had them under control. After I started drinking the flavored water, my problems were magnified 100%."
