They want to try a Bipap to see if it will help keep my oxygen up when I sleep. Last oximetry test while using APAP had me under 88% for 93 minutes and under 90% for about 5 hours. In fact my overnight oxygenation has gotten worse since sleep study a few months ago now that I use APAP.
I'm still so tired despite perfect compliance, ahi of 1 or less and supplemental oxygen while I sleep.
Modafinil (Provigil) or Armodafinil (Nuvigil)?

OK, but sleep issues are not all related to apnea/OSA, so maybe you are chasing a single reason (respiratory issues), while you could have OSA and something else (e.g. vitamin/mineral deficiency, neurological issues, medication impact, limb motion etc).USMCVet wrote: I'm still so tired despite perfect compliance, ahi of 1 or less and supplemental oxygen while I sleep.
Maybe you should push to do another PSG while using CPAP, to see if the arousals are related to respiratory issues or not.

I go through veterans choice for sleep center. I have two appointments left with authorization. One is being used for titration study and other for results appointment.
Last sleep study showed little rem. Lots of arousals as well.
I actually planned on going to get vitamins today to see if they help. I'm only considering these medications as a bandaid until I can figure out what's wrong. I sent email to VA 2 weeks ago about ongoing issues and I have heard nothing back. I'm here right now to see RT for I assume compliance check.

Modafinil is the only reason I get through the day. I take it 7 days a week.
