Sleep apnea and anti-depressants

I have been taking lexapro for 4 months and just found out sleep apnea is the cause my moodiness, short fuse and depression. Does anyone have a similiar situation? And if so, have you stopped taking anti-depressants after using the CPAP?

Need advice on what to expect

Im 31 and just found out I have sleep apnea the test showed an AHI of 59 with my lowest O2 @ 68% and an average of 81%. Last night was my second night on CPAP and my wife says I am sleeping better but I am not sure if I feel like that yet. Any advice would be nice.
