I have not tried light therapy. Don't have time in my schedule for it anyway.

James here....Light therapy is done at home. You can set it up by the bed or couch and do it while you are relaxing. It takes a few mins. It's a good idea to try it first b4 you buy SAD lamps. Do do your research as with wrong kind(s) of light you will
increase risk of skin cancer.As you get depressed at nite (less sunlight) this seems a no brainer and at the very least ez to prove or disprove. If you live in a big city there are places to go for light treatment. You
might try one for a week; from what I have read if it is going to work it happens fast. A tanning booth is a last resort; only use short term. A week or so in a tanning booth will not cost much.If it works...no pills to buy, just bulbs ! Good safe light sources are not cheap, but if you factor the cost over a lifetime it is very cheap.
