Sprite Zero has zero caffeine, if you must have a sugar and caffeine-free Coke product.
Sprite doesn't include any caffeine [0] in the regular version, but there's a massive amount of sugar as per usual with soda. [0]: https://www.sprite.com/products/sprite

I suspect this is to try to quantitatively match the stimulant effect of caffiene plus sugar/HFCS in the sweetened alternatives.
Am I the only one that experiences sugar as a depressant? Eating high glycemic index foods makes me lethargic and sleepy. I've never experienced a "sugar high". I also don't have diabetes as my blood sugar level is within norm during routine physicals.
It's one of the working theories for a causative link between obesity and consumption of diet soda. Which is usually swamped by the correlative link between the two.

Those have a massive amount of calories
Check out isopure protein drinks for a lower calorie alternative. 0 carbs, lactose free. http://www.theisopurecompany.com/en-au/product/isopurezeroca... They aftertaste is a little weird, but still much easier to drink than protein shakes.

It must have something to do with the aspartame in it. When I take DLPA pills (a breakdown product of aspartame), the depression goes away quite fast. Drinking a can or two of Diet Coke also does the trick.

Yes, this happens to me too. I can get maybe a maximum 15-20 minutes of increased cognitive performance after ingestion. Once that is over I become lethargic and afterwards a bit irate since my concentration dips. It bothers me that people like Warren Buffet can go along their day ingesting copious amounts of coke normal and sweets and still be a functional productive human being.
