After a five year struggle with what was diagnosed as Bipolar II and various failed trials with mood stabilizers and anti-psychotics I was finally fed up. I had read many times about aspartame causing mood problems but I suppose I was in denial since I was a 5-6 can a day diet coke addict. I couldn't imagine something so seemingly benign as aspartame could be causing my downward spiral with regard to mood instability over the past several years. It has only been one week since I quit ingesting aspartame and my moods are completely stable! I am taking it one day at a time to make sure I am not jumping to any conclusions but I really believe that this is significant. Has anybody else experienced this?
