I have read that if you have seasonal depression it helps to sit in direct sun for at least a half and hour a day. I have tried it and it does help. Perhaps sit on a park bench and relax facing the sun for a half hour or so would help (and help ya relax at the same time!). I have heard the lights are pretty expensive, a couple of hundred bucks for a desktop model, but I guess that would be a small price to pay if it helps with the depression huh? I take 100 mgs. Lamictal. The hairloss has seemed to increase with the addition of the Zoloft back. Went to my favorite healthfood store today where the employees are extensively trained and spoke to my favorite guy, he thinks the rapid weightloss is also to blame (same thing 2 doctors have told me now), he suggested upping the protein significantly, adding tons of vegetables, adding Omega-3 (3x a day) and recommended a shampoo customers rave about for hairloss. Also told me to only shampoo every 3 days and not to use conditioner or hairspray, UGH! I am a compulsive clean freak, no shampooing for 3 days! Eek! and no hairspray? I am gonna look like h*ll! LOL! But hey, if it saves my hair I guess it's worth it. Do you get tired alot easier on Benzos? I noticed my energy span on the Restoril is not as good as normal. But I am figuring it is worth it to feel good when I AM awake.
