Re: Still trying to tame centrals

Maybe it is the trazodone? I'm a newbie, but when I asked my MD about my centrals, he told me they were likely from the Ambien or alprazolam I was using to try to adjust to the CPAP... and using SleepyHead, it does seem to correlate. He said any sleeping med would make CAs increase.

Re: trouble adjusting-- anxiety and noise =(

So far so good! Kept it on 6 hours last night, which is a lot longer than I'd been able to before! I'm sure the Ambien helped, but the white noise app helped so much more than I expected! Now I'll decrease the Ambien over the next few nights and see how I do. Thank you so much everyone!

Re: trouble adjusting-- anxiety and noise =(

Thank you, SleepingZ! I am nearly due for a new mask from my DME (I think) and I will ask to try that one. And, thanks Sleepy, I'll try calculating in my head and see if that helps me ignore the noise. =) That makes sense, and a better idea than concentrating on my breathing! Tattooed Lady, I love t...

Re: trouble adjusting-- anxiety and noise =(

I haven't tried white noise, because I like it as silent as possible when I am trying to sleep. But, at this point, maybe that little distraction would help. Thank you for your reassurance about my mask. =) Part of my problem is that without CPAP, I sleep just fine, I never wake up with symptoms. BU...

Hi! I am hoping someone here can give me some suggestions... I am getting ready to try the CPAP for the second time after taking a month off.
