hey, just joined. I am having major winter depression that vitamin D and my UVB lamp no longer seem to cure. It hits for a few days, then goes away. I've had some luck taking a huge (12,000 IU) dose of D or spending a long time in front of my lamp. But after a few days of that it quits working. I've had this about 15 years, and every year it gets a little worse. Doctors have tried Buspar and herbal supplements, but they don't help. I'm nearing the end of my rope.
