Thanks for the input everyone. As an update all the referral said on it was refer to Sleep Medicine. So after trying to find out from the Drs office what I am to do with this for two weeks (I still haven't received a call back), I contacted the office of the Dr that read my sleep studies. They said ...

Pugsy, Thanks for that thread, I missed it. It was a very interesting read. With the amitryptaline, yeah finding the balance between feeling groggy from the med vs feeling groggy because of no sleep has been a challenge. As I work for a pharmacy chain, I have had plenty of advice on supplements, and...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yes I still take 50mg. I usually take it around 8. That dose will make me a bit drowsy, but it doesn't knock me out by any means.

I have always had issues falling and staying asleep, but in the past few years it seems to be worsening. The best way I can describe it is I can't turn my brain off.

I ended up just ordering a hose cover. Hopefully that does the trick!

I started treatment about 10 days or so ago, and the result has really been fabulous, really even better than I could ever have imagined. In fact the titration/study was probably the b...

I will check. Even though the insurance is through the same company, I suppose I can't just assume they cover it.

Thank you very much! Both very good reads. I actually work for a retail pharmacy chain and we have a location that specializes in DME. I will have to give them a call.

Hello everyone, I figured I might as well introduce myself. I received my diagnosis of severe obstructive sleep apnea last Friday evening. While I had expected to diagnosed (based on comments from my wife, who claims she has now saved my life , the 'severe' part caught me off guard. Today I schedule...
