I had a very similar problem and ended up getting a new humidifier chamber which did solve the problem. When you close the lid to your water tank, check to see if the lid latch is going past the point where it should click into place.

I won't be telling you to change meds or reduce meds or stop meds. That's not my job nor why I asked.

my normal therapy for depression What is that therapy composed of? Meds by chance? If so, what name.

One thing - how comfortable do you feel talking about all this with your family MD? Do you get satisfactory answers? Have you thought about talking to another MD who might have more immediate and/or specific answers? I have not talked to my family MD about this yet, my family MD has minimal knowled...

While it may not kill you quickly it can and does cause permanent damage if left untreated. I had all the sa...
