I take vitamin D. Other than that using a lightbox or getting some actual sunshine on your skin really helps. Then it comes down to
our attitude and outlook.

I take D also and I take a B3,6,12 vitamin that is supposed to be good for energy. I see my regular docs like my PCP and pdoc but I also see a naturopathic doc to compliment my psych meds. And I see a nutritionist. I am doing light therapy also as we speak, that helps too.

You would think I would be the happiest person in the world since I have Vitamin D intoxication. I overproduce Vitamin D naturally so I try and avoid bright sunshine or even tanning beds..and stay on the light box only 2 minutes when taken.

Sadly an overproduction of Vitamin D doesn't help with depression that I can see. I am not sure how much supplements work..but if you are low in D naturally then why not try!

Fish oil! You need to take more than the recommended dose - like 2000-3000 mg a day, but it won't hurt you. In fact my cholesterol has stabilized since I started taking it.

If you are having trouble sleeping at night and that is causing fatigue during the day, I know my sister has had a lot of success with melatonin. She says she takes it sublingually and that is better than the kind you swallow. Also sometimes lower doses help more than higher doses.

I'm a big believer in exercise helping too. I have loads more energy on the days when I work up a light to moderate sweat.

Ok I know this sounds stupid but what is a light box?

Halter I know lack of sleep is a big issue for me but I have a 7 month old so I get to sleep on her schedule.

I am going to have to try the vitamin D to see if that helps at all.

I have low energy to... I take meds that knock me out so it's not lack of sleep.. I take vitamin D... B vitamins are good for stress.. I agree with everyone else.. light box.. .sunshine... take care ((hugs)) polar

vitamin d 4000mg/day has been a great boost to me for the past six months. it is worth a try. also lots of fruit and veg.
