Re: Sleep Issues That Go Beyond Cpap

Just wanted to update you guys. I ended up powering through another difficult day yesterday and avoided having a nap. I went to bed last night an hour earlier than normal and I also took the advice here and had 2000mg of vitamin c and 10 mg of melatonin. I ended up sleeping strongly for 7 hours and ...

Re: Sleep Issues That Go Beyond Cpap

Unfortunately I don't see anything standing up screaming "fix me and you will feel better". Pretty much an unremarkable report. Well, its good to know that I can eliminate something from my checklist. Im committed to getting this problem under control. Im going to keep trying things until I've iden...

Re: Sleep Issues That Go Beyond Cpap

I can’t remember the dosage of Vyvanse but I switched to Adderall XR after some time and was taking maximum dose. Did I abuse it and take more than I was supposed to? Yes, pretty much immediately and I lied to my doctor to get them to write me 3 months worth at a time then come back 2 months later ...

Re: Sleep Issues That Go Beyond Cpap

Both of those medications I have experience with. Both are absolutely horrible long term but can be helpful as a crutch. Vyvanse is an amphetamine based ADD medication and if I was going to pick one of the two to stay on due to your weight loss goals I would pick this one and maybe if I could even ...

Re: Sleep Issues That Go Beyond Cpap

Congrats on the weight loss, what an incredible achievement! My son has had great success with using light therapy to treat a circadian rhythm disorder. When using light therapy to treat sleep disorders timing, consistency, and duration of use are all critical factors. I think using the light at ra...

Re: Sleep Issues That Go Beyond Cpap

Do you wake often during the night? Are you on any medications at the present time? If so, what? Is your main issue the daytime need to nap and mental clarity stuff? Are we sure that your cpap therapy is optimized and there's nothing in there that could stand improving....like what is the overall a...

I recently got a new cpap machine the ResMed Airsense Autoset 10 for her and i finally was able to add a heated tube. The tube was necessary because this time of year I ne...

I'm wondering if this is an appropriate place to potentially discuss alternative sleep issues that may go beyond cpap therapy?

Re: Cpap died while traveling

Both me and my father experienced a cpap machine dieing while traveling. Man is that a horrible experience. Is it me or for some reason are these machines more likely to die while traveling? Any thoughts as to why this would be?

Hi there, I know I need to upgrade my CPAP machine soon but id like to hold off on that major expense for a couple of months. Right now I'm in desperate need of a heated tube to deal with all the condensation im getting from running a second humidifier. Does anyone know if you can actually get a hea...
