Reply to comment by franktheguy in LPT: If you suffer from seasonal depression check your vitamin D levels. by Daveee5280

Thanks for the clarification. I should have read further before replying.

Do you have a low-fat diet? I’m curious as to why your levels are still low. Also, do you have trouble sleeping?

Nothing specifically different about my diet. I do have rheumatoid arthritis, and it is my rheumatologist that prescribes "the big D" for me. She says deficiency is common amongst RA patients.

I do have a lot of trouble sleeping, but I had that before taking the D. I just switched from trazodone to Quetiapine/Seroquel which has helped a lot.

I’ve experienced similar. Minus the RA. Trazodone doesn’t seem to cut it some nights. And I usually wake up groggy. The new meds working without side effects?

More morning grogginess but less constipation. At least I can sleep through most of the night on the new one though.
