I like caffeine, but since I've gotten on antidepressants, it makes me incredibly irritable. I drink caffeine-free Coke (don't like Pepsi, tastes like melted Kraft caramels to me), and I add lime or lemon to cut the sweetness. I with they'd make something like Fresca without the artificial sweeteners - I also like to drink selzer with a little orange or grapefuit juice in it. I'd like a soft drink that was carbonated, not caffeinated, and not sweet, but they don't make any yet. So I make my own. Canada Dry ginger ale + orange juice tastes almost like Orangina, which is fairly nonsweet as carbonated drinks go. (It doesn't if you use Schweppes ginger ale, or anything else I've tried, it has to be Canada Dry.) I also like selzer with a splash of whatever juice boxes we have around, especially grape or cherry. But I have finally taught myself to like selzer, even plain, which I consider to give me the water I don't drink. Not soda water, which has salts in it.

And about the post before mine, I do wonder about that! Here I am on thyroid uppers and now they want me to try sleeping aids for the fact that I can't sleep through anything any more... but they don't want to decrease my dosage of uppers, so it does seem to be an infinite spiral or something...
