Still sleepy with cpap

I had a follow up appt with the sleep doc and told him I am still very tired despite using my machine. He prescribed Nuvigil. I started it on Saturday and haven't noticed a difference yet. Has anyone else tried Nuvigil?

CPAP for travel.....compact/lightweight machine

Hello everyone,

I need to get opinions on an overall compact, quiet easy to use machine. I will be traveling in June, so I want something on the smaller side. I haven't gotten my cpap machine yet and want to know what to order.
