Right now I am sitting in front of my new broad-spectrum lamp for 30 minutes befor leaving for work. I'll sit in front of it for at least another 30 minutes when I get home. I've been doing this for 10 days now and it is nothing short of a miracle. I really didn't think it would provide such instant relief. The lamp was very pricey (over $200). I can't say whether I would have gotten FSA reimbursement for it (with drs. prescription), as I'd already maxed out that money for 2008. I just couldn't hold off 'til 2009 to purchase it as my SAD symptoms were causing me to rapidly deteriorate. I feel like a new person!
