Just got off the phone with my p-doc. I am still experiencing a lot of depression and it is a battle to get myself out of bed in the morning. It's definitely gotten worse as daylight savings time has kicked in.

He recommended that I purchase a light box. He recommended two vendors: The Sun Box or Northern Lights Light Box.

He recommended that whatever I buy should have a 1 in 1,000 lux.

I am a little worried about getting it set-up, and that's my primary concern. Does anyone have experiences with light boxes? If so- what do you recommend?

I'm sorry that you're in this phase.

I usually get that way when the days become shorter too.

I have not had personal experience with a light box but have certainly heard of it.

Hope some members can give you some input into this.

Be well.

I use the Northern Light Technology Sadellite lamp. I've had it about 14 years now. I change the bulbs about every other year. It has helped me tremendously. Don't overdo it (use too long) in the beginning. It can quickly trigger a manic phase. Good luck!!

I have one too and if I use it too long it makes me really irritable. But it's nice to read infront of quietly for 10-15 minutes. Good luck.

Thanks everyone! I ended up buying a Sun Box. I'll have to keep you posted on how it goes!

Yes, please keep us updated.

I'd be very keen to hear how this all works out for you.

Good luck.
