Anyone tried them? I've just ordered some and the reviews on both google and Holland and Barrett are amazing. I've had a terrible 2 years and I am desperate (hate that word) for a better year. I'm hoping these will contribute but don't want to get my hopes up!

They didn’t agree with me at all and made my anxiety worse but I have 2 friends who swear by them.

Be very careful if you are relying on them to help with long term depression and anxiety, you have to be careful when light levels are higher, eg summer time, as they can increase sensitivity. This should be fine if you are only taking the, during winter months when light level is low and we are more covered up, but you would probably need to stop taking them during the summer.
