I've been on my CPAP since January 2016 and now it seems when I lie down in bed, breathing without CPAP is a little more difficult, more labored if you will.
That is because you are now aware of the problem.
People get used to breathing. Just walk over to a friend and put you hands around their neck and squeeze, they are so addicted to air they will fight you to the death to get more of it. Do they need to get treatment for that?

I find red leather to be more stimulating.

Is it posible to become dependent on CPAP?
I made it my objective. It's worked out great.

I would not worry about becoming dependent upon CPAP anymore than I would worry about becoming dependent on insulin (if I needed it). It would be just as foolish to resist CPAP for this reason as it would be to resist insulin injections for this reason.
