winter blues

I feel so lethargic, sleepy, without much energy and tired during winter months. I take multi vitamins. Q10, omega vit C etc but I want to feel much better than that. Any ideas to improve my condition. Thanks

 

A quality D3 supplement.

Exercise.
Tanning bed.
Move.

 

Cocaine is now approved by Congress for treating alcoholism. Bill sponsored by Trey Radel.

On a serious note though, I know people who get Vitamin B shots and they swear by them. I've never done it myself.

 

Drownpruf may chime in here, he knows this stuff inside out.

 

Magnesium supplement for great sleep, one that is well absorbed by the body.

 

First, stay away from all drugs, legal or otherwise.
Then, listen to Beatles and Led Zeppelin music.
Ride your bicycle and/or walk on days that are warm enough.
Get a new part time girlfriend.
Get a full time dog.
I highly recommend the Golden Retriever.
Your blues will be blown away.
