Dang, have two cases of aspartame cola just bought yesterday.

Did it ever bother you in the past? No? Why not just enjoy it?

I am going to drink it (and am drinking a can at this moment lol). I definitely don't get headaches, neurological symptoms or other unpleasantries that some do. But this possible link to depression (exacerbation in my case ) is quite intriguing. All the SSRIs have pooped out on me and I experience an unacceptable discontinuation syndrome from them but fortunately SAM-e (over the counter but expensive) is still working, more or less. Knowledgeable about but afraid to try SNRIs due to the common and sometimes serious side effects. Depression definitely runs in the family -- my mother had ECT (electroshock) in her 40s but is now 95 and happy as a lark. Imagine that.
