Crystal Light.....does anyone else get dizzy from drinking it?

I was wondering if anyone else got dizzy after drinking crystal light?  I have noticed in the past it has happened and I started drinking it last week and got super dizzy.  Am I crazy??

Sarah,

Is it possible that you were dehydrated already when you drank it?

No I wasn't dehydrated.  I handled the lemonade one really well for a couple of days. but then i had the tangerine one and i was wonky within 20 mins (that is the same one i have had in the past that made me dizzy).  i am afraid to drink it again.

Hmm, I haven't seen a tangerine one. 

If you have any more of it, read the ingredients list and compare it against the lemonade one.  Sound like you may be have a reaction, whether it's allergic or other.

Whether or not you can identify what caused the reaction, not drinking it again sounds like a very sensible approach.

I drink it everyday :<)  Yum! (the Lemonaid that is)

Sarah, Crystal Light contains aspartame which can cause dizzyness.  You're not crazy.  Look for other flavor powders that have Splenda instead, and see if that makes a difference.  They're harder to find, so if they work for you, stock up!

Thanks everyone for the help.  Which name brand drinks have Splenda?  I'll give those a try.  I like water much better with something tasty in it ;)

Me too. Aspertame make me so sick. I can't stand it. I think it's because I drank so many diet drinks for so many years that my body could not take any more. I was having terrible dizzy spells, as well as other symptoms. I quit drinking carbonated beverages and anything else that had Aspartame. It's in so many things (like medications and fiber and all) that it's almost impossible to avoid, but I try my best to stay away from it. I do alright with Splenda, but I also try to use it sparingly.
