Re: What Sleep aid?..Non-respiratory depressent

I use to take Ambien and Ambien CR but started having side effects after the year I was on them. Such as not remembering what I did that night or with hubby etc. Hubby had to tell me what happened the night before after taking it otherwise I didn't know what happened. They both worked well for a whi...

Dont' know why my dr didn't give me the machine he said he was or the mask....the two are totally different than I was told I'd get. Gues...

thank you so much for your input. I only know that my doctor asked me about the machine my hubby has (straight cpap) etc and he told me that his wife has an Elite so he asked me if I would want to try that one as it is fully encapulated and quiet. The one he was talking about I do think it is data c...

My husbands cpap is Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle 600 series. Does not have the data stuff on it. He has a builtin humidifier in it. He seems to like ...

I guess there are bound to be things that crop up at least for the first few days using it...LOL P.S by the way I sent the above message before I registered....so hopefully I will still g...
