In reply to s.a.d. ocd~ssri's do very little for me any other, posted by winterbluez on January 22, 2004, at 14:45:32
Might try checking out Swedish sites for help, s.a.d. is a big problem in the Nordic countries.
One thing that was suggested is to use a high intensity red light emitting diode and put it on top of your monitor. Aim it so it hits your forehead.
Red light passes through skin, your skull, and hits the pinal gland which regulates the day/night cycle.
This seems to work. One of your friends might be handy with a soldering iron, if you are not.
The other thing I saw was a bank of about four or eight 4 foot flouresent tubes to boost the light levels to summer daylight levels. Use the expensive full spectrum bulbs, if you can.
And, of course, walking in the noon sunshine whenever possible. Hope this might be of help.
