Re: much more fatigued w/CPAP, just prescribed Nuvigil

I read that caffeine should not be consumed while on nuvigil, check the paperwork you got with that med. BTW, nuvigil is given to fighter pilots on long missions and it's also in the space lab. This is what I had read "Avoid drinking large amounts of beverages containing caffeine (e.g., coffee, tea...

Re: much more fatigued w/CPAP, just prescribed Nuvigil

Thanks, we'll see! I'm on the fourth day I think, yesterday my brain felt a bit fiery or something, and at the end of the day I had a headache, not terrible though.

much more fatigued w/CPAP, just prescribed Nuvigil

I've been using a CPAP for about 1 1/2 months, and have grown more and more fatigued. A review of the performance shows it has reduced the number of times I stop breathing to a normal level. But now I feel on the verge of falling asleep almost all day long, and it wasn't that bad before. I sometimes...
