Hey Kathy, welcome to the forum!
If I was a gambler, I'd bet that your SAD will get better on this WOL. It seems that with a lot of people, moods improve a lot and some are able to reduce antidepressant dosages or eliminate them altogether (with their Dr's help of course).
Speaking from personal experience, I've been diagnosed with clinical depression about 7 years ago, been on all kinds of anti-depressants, (including several hospitalizations), nothing of which really made a difference. I had sort of resigned myself to living with it over the past few years, but since I've been doing this WOL, I've never felt better mood-wise. I'm starting to get suspicious that maybe all those carbohydrates were messing with my brain chemicals and making me depressed. Even more motivation to stick with it for me at least.
I wish you the best of luck and a future filled with happiness!
