I have used sad lamps aka light therapy and the first time I did it I went manic as hell however I wasn’t on a mood stabilizer now I tried it another time while it was in the hospital and it helped my mood without slipping into mania I’m on the same meds I’m on now I wanna get another one also the weather is not helping because it’s been dark and gloomy and that always every single year affects me
What are your experiences
I use light therapy for 15 minutes every morning. Maybe start with 5 minutes and see how that goes.
If you are planning to use an SAD lamp and you have bipolar then you should really consult a professional first.
I agree however I just wanted peoples experience but next appointment I’m asking my doctor if it’s worth it she makes the decisions not me 
A Happy Light is a necessity for the winters in Alaska. I have a huge one, 2 ft by 1 ft, hanging on my wall next to the couch. I put it on in increasing time increments as the winter progresses. It’s really helpful!
I use light therapy glasses in the morning for 20 mins.
I dont use it for mood tho. I use it for sleep disorder. It regulates my circadian rhythm. Otherwise i revert to being a half awake zombie during the day.
I use Luminette 3 glasses. You can eat breakfast and walk around or whatever instead of sitting infront of a light box 12 inches away.
Is it a different type of lamp I didn’t know it had multiple uses
Its the same. Equates to 10,000 lux. Can be used for jetlag. Mood boost for sad, and sleep regulation
i forget if were allowed to post links to products. So @Voithos you can remove if needed.
I didn’t know there were sad lamp glasses wow 
technology improved every single year
I need to try it. My vitamin D helps a lot too
I use one. It helps me. 
It’s fine as long as you aren’t linking to and selling your own product or something you get associate revenue from.
