[QUOTE="Ilovemyson, post: 218232"] This is something that I go through every time the time change occurs. When we "fall back" it sets something off inside my head and I start in a downward spiral but when we "spring ahead" it is like my brain goes back to normal. It has taken me a few years to realize this, but I have issues dealing with things during this particular time of year. I depise it. I actually noticed it myself this year and when someone asked me what was wrong, I knew that it had happened again. AD's work for a little while for me, then I start to see/feel side effects that I do not like. I actually looked into the light box, but it was close to $1000 and that was 2 years ago. My doctor tried to fight and get insurance to cover it, but it was a failed effort. The only other thing that I was told to try was the new light bulbs (the coil ones) and I have noticed that they do help to a point. Seasonal Affective Disorder is something that my doctor said they do not like to diagnose because there is not alot of research on it. Could be that my doctor does not want to do that diagnosis? I wish I could help more, but if you do find info out about the light box, PLEASE let me know!!! [/QUOTE]
