@jh31251 @elisabetha there is no definitive study proving a SAD light box works to cure SAD. I did have a doctor who said she would approve a request for it if I wanted to purchase one so it is used to treat SAD, but with no proof it actually works.

Hey johnhans, I too was Hans for the first 12 yrs. of my life, glad to meet another, but I digress from the discussion. You are correct about the SAD light. I have had a long journey, 68 years, with anxiety, depression, concussions, traumatic brain injury, SAD, PTSD. I have all and more of the symptoms and conditions others have described. I have been on various SSRI drugs and benzodiazepines, I have stopped them, had withdrawn, started again and dealt with start up side affects. The only one that works for me is Paxil, I take the maximum dose age 60mg, increased to this gradually over many years, been taking it for over 20 years. 6 months ago the most miraculous happened, out of the blue my brain changed, almost all the symptoms have gone away or are reduced to next to nothing. I have no idea why, I will never stop the Paxil, but am very estatic about the change.
I would like to help anyone I can, I’ve been through it all!
