Does anyone out there have personal experience with using light treatments to help with SAD? The sudden switch in the UK from a quick hot summer to darker nights seems to be playing havoc with my mood. I know there are lots of helpful descriptions on the Internet of what light therapy is supposed to do, but I am not asking for that. I wish to know if it actually has worked for other sufferers. Many thanks for your reply(s).

If have lunch and dinner on Saturday and eat close to 4 pounds of food... chinese food - Rice, chicken, brocolli

How long does it take for the food to move out of my body through my digestive system?

I'm asking this question because I want to know about weighing myself. In the last 2 months I've lost 10 pounds, but I weighd myself early today (after eating yesterday - had about 2 pounds of food at about 1 AM) and my scale showed a gain of 2.8 pounds.

It was stupid of me to eat so late - but Ill do better this week. Probably drink lots of water and just meat and vegs.

When I had a blood test done, I had a value of systolic of 145, but the value of diastolic was optimal. What should I do to lower the systolic value? is it really risky to stay high as this even though the disastolic is normal?

I have heard that you lose weight at a faster rate the heavier you are and then as you lose the weight, it comes off slower and slower. Is this true?

A circumsized or uncircumsized man? I have heard that uncircumsized is better but some women think circumsized looks better? I am not sure which I think...?

I found out that I had HIV this year and I got the virus from my child's father. Luckily my child does not have it, However at the clinic that I go to I ran into his ex-wife who has had the virus for almost 11 years and afterwards found out that another one of his ex-girlfriends with whom he was cought cheating on me with has also had the virus for 2 years. "Coincidence" I think not. he has to have known that he had it. and we had talks about HIV before ever having sexual contact. Anyone that knows whether or not I can sue him please let me know.

...Assuming the workout is one of those where you know that you over-did it, and you know that you're going to be sore the next day.

(i know, best thing is to not overdo it in the first place, but I'm a dumb***.)

I'd appreciate anyone that can add an explanation of why they'd recommend what it is that they recommend.

PS: Over the counter only, please.

ok... here's the deal... I made many mistakes in the past year. I have said things that I regret, leading to heartaches, depression, etc... the point, is that I thought I was in love when i wasn't, it was stupid, but over the time, my mind matured, and i now understand deep things that i didn't before. Now, I am completely over that person, but I still can't help but feeling sorrow day in and day out. there's nothing to feel bad about, but every time i see a sunset, i cry, and i'll have emotional outbursts, from laughing, to crying without any transition!!! UGH, i don't get it. please, i need to know what's causing this.

I've been taking Effexor XR for nearly 3 months (I'm up to 150mg) and don't really feel any different in regards to the depression. Are AD's supposed to make you feel better, make you emotionless, or what? Do I just need to up the dosage?
