Anti-depressants

Hi Laurie, I don't know if this anti-depressant will work for you, but I started taking Bupropion (Wellbutrin) and it doesn't make me sleepy; also am losing weight. Since I started taking this anti-dep. at about the same time I started x-pap therapy, I'm unable to let you know if it affected my apne...

Soak item . When I asked her how long, she said something like "forever" My new hybrid mask had such an odou...

Hybrid Mask

dudley_doright,

I got mine at Shopper's Home Healthcare-you know, it's a subsiduary of Shopper's Drug Mart, I believe.
E-mail me if you have problems in finding it.

Hybrid Mask

rooster,

Before turning in for the night, I did read the Owner's manual DVD and repeated reading some parts several times. Your advice and methods are very well written. It is a real treasure. You are a real treasure! I've printed it out for future reference.
Thank you!

New Hybrid Mask

Oh yes, I was intending to inform of my progress in about a week's time. One night is not enough to judge how the mask will work.

A chin strap didn't work (it was always falling out of place, no matter how much Gorilla tape and Velcro I used). Yes...

Thanks everyone for your help and comments. I didn't mean to mislead anyone into thinking that it was a chronic condition, but that night was the worst for aches and pains. I have had practically none before-must have been a particularly bad night, but was getting worried that it might continue. A c...
