Sanguine,
I have had a similar experience. I am on a Zoloft/lithium/Seroquel combo for Anxiety/Depression/OC. I was off meds for 6 months (after being on them for 14 years) when I pronounced myself "cured", "mission accomplished". Then crashed about 3 months ago and like a politician, quickly distanced myself from the statement. Anyway, I was a morning coffee drinker and afternoon diet Mt. Dew consumer. On this combo of meds, I still drink my coffee in the morning. Still get that slight "feel good" buzz without it pushing up my anxiety level. However, the diet Dew just makes me feel bad. Not so much anxious, just bad. I open a can, drink about half and toss it. As Scott said I wonder if it has something to do with the aspartame. I'll do some checking.
