Re: Lower AHI but feel awful

I appreciate the help. So wellbutrin is 12 hour taken in the morning so shouldn't be an issue. Lamictal and celexa could cause insomnia as a side effect but I don't have trouble falling asleep.

Just antidepressants which do not impact sleep.
What meds do you take for depression or anxiety? Name, strength, dose and how long have you been taking it/them?
I've been taking them for 6 years.

Lamictal 200mg
Wellbutrin 200mg
Celexa 40mg

Re: Lower AHI but feel awful

Here are a few more nights along with some experimentation. I assume the biggest issue is leaks and therefore finding the right mask. One thing I've noticed is the nasal pillows probably aren't the right fit even though I'm really taping my mouth shut. MARCH 2nd - F40 (full face mask) - set to nasal...

Re: Lower AHI but feel awful

I found it interesting that you have the same machine and pressure settings as I do. What jumps out on your OSCAR report is the very high number of Large Leaks and only CA apneas are being registered. I am not an expert but have many years of experience with APAP. Have you done the Run Mask Fit? It...
