Seasonal Affective Disorder and antidepressants

I came here to ask about SAD. I do have depression and SAD and often find the antidepressants just don't help with SAD. I am going to look up getting a full spectrum light. We just moved back to an area that gets a lot more rain and grey days. It's so hard for me. I don't feel like doing anything on these days. I take vitamins, D3, fish oil etc....
The times I've looked up full spectrum lights, they were very expensive.

Gonna try and take my dog for a walk. Exercise helps but I sure have to push myself to do it.....

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks Karen, I probably need to step it up. I was moving this past week and have missed my D3. I just had it when out of no where the depression raises it's ugly head out of no where!!!!

I got my full spectrum lamp at Christmas Tree Shop for about $20.00. I've also seen them at Walmart.

I have halogen lights in a track light and several 'regular' lamps. I turn them all on about 1 hour before sunset and then slowly turn them off in a sequence, to make in 'indoor sundown' schedule of my own. This has been a huge help to me.

Ambient temperature is a big thing for me too. I am most comfortable at 70 degrees during the day and down to around 62 degrees at night for sleeping.

I 'force' bulbs and have an indoor garden going most of the winter. The compact fluorescent bulbs do just fine and I haven't bought a 'grow light' ever.

I use an air freshening spray that is 'fresh clover' and a body spray that is 'fresh cut grass'. Whatever it takes to keep my brain in 'summer'!

Lilac scented candles, or rose, or jasmine. Whatever 'mood' I want to create.

Hope some of these suggestions help.
