Anyone tried using a SAD lamp?

I have read so many good reviews about them and my old psychiatrist at the Priory used one himself.

Has anyone here used one and, if so, how did you find it helped?

Bit late now that the days are getting longer - it's best used during autumn-winter - but I've read it alleviates SAD symptoms.

A bit late to this one but yes, I have a SAD lamp and yes, I find it very good. Particularly during winter depression when you can end up sleeping a lot so your daylight time is quite dark. I don't use it once the clocks have gone forward. I find it has quite a quick uplifting effect within a day or so.
