I have the lamp and I just this year got on Effexor Er. It works well for me. I do CAD, lighter on refined carbs during summer and heavier on them in winter. CAD controls my insulin yet allws the carbs that my body demands. That being said, I gain weight every winter and lose in during the summer months. Last year was a bad year for me as the winter was so long and the summer was not clear. That's why I searched out meds. It was my worst winter in a long while.

My tips are that if you can get out on sunny days, even if only to sit in the sun, do so!!!
