Not OP but what did the trick for me was a combination of the following sweeteners, listed from largest to least amount:

- erythritol (~0 calories, ~2/3s as sweet as sugar),

- xylitol (~60% of sugar calories, improves oral biome, inhibits enamel demineralization),

- stevia or sucralose for added sweetness.

After experimenting with different ratios I now rarely crave sugar at all anymore.

Another thing to consider is that the initial dopamine response to sweeteners seems to generally be lower than with sugar, but there are indications that this gap may lessen with continued use over a matter of weeks (at least in mice in a small number of studies).
