Hi sleep123,
welcome to psychcentral. For the past several years, I have noticed a worsening of my depressive symptoms in the winter. I have considered getting those SADD(seasonal affective disorder)lights, but haven't yet and so far have only taken meds for my bipolar disorder. I was reading the MSN message boards yesterday and there was a thread entitled "how do you manage your bipolar disorder" and several posters stated they used only "natural" remedies. I think L-tyrosine which you can find in health stores was mentioned several times. You may want to check out that thread. I hope you find something that helps.
