Prior to the use of any light therapy product you should seek the advice of a licensed physician or qualified health professional. This is especially true if you are on a medication that can sensitize your skin to light (such as imipramine, phenothiazine, chloroquine, hydrocholothiazide, tetracycline and lithium), or if you take a light-sensitizing supplement (such as hypericum or melatonin.)
Occasionally some people experience mild headaches, nausea, eye strain, jitteriness, or difficulty falling asleep at night when first beginning Light Therapy. It may be necessary, when this happens, to reduce the duration and/or intensity of the Light Therapy, or to move further away from the light until the symptoms resolve.
People with bipolar mood disorder (manic-depressive disorder) should consult their physician before beginning Light Therapy.
