After 6 years of APAP, any ways to improve quality of life?

... years old currently. I still have some residual daytime sleepiness and some inability to concentrate, so my doctor put me on a 50-100 mg dose of provigil about 1-2 years into treatment. This medication is only really used Monday through Friday, and most days are 50 mg, but busier days 100 mg. ...

Re: Just got AHI (24), waiting on CPAP

Just got AHI (24), waiting on CPAP

... last year the fatigue got much much worse. Almost crippling to me. A zombie. So a year went by and I basically ignored treatment for it other than Provigil + Nuvigil. But then it occurred to me. I wake up gasping. Sweating in the bed. My chest feels tight, sometimes my BP is high, and I feel anxious ...

Re: OSA & Narcolepsy

Is it the narco or the apnea you want to improve on (not 100% clear from your note)? Do you find the Provigil keeps you from sleeping deeply at night tho' you're taking it at 1 pm, because if that's the case I wonder what even 1-2 mg of melatonin 1/2 hr before bed would do? ...

OSA & Narcolepsy

... given the DreamStation CPAP Machine, I've been using it for well over a year now. My average 30day AHI is now 0.8. For Narcolepsy I take 300MG of Provigil per day (100mg at 9am and 200mg at 1:30pm). I haven't been seeing much difference or getting the results I was expecting. Does anyone know ...

11 Years and almost no Improvement

... your 'numbers can look great' but you can still have fragmented sleep and terrible sleep quality. Like I can't get through the day with Ritalin. Provigil just doesn't cut it. Been on Ritalin for 2 years. When I was first put on cpap I would wake up constantly and have to pee 2,3, sometimes 4 ...
