Hi all. Just wondering if there are any of you out there with the same issues I have. I have OSA with an AHI of 46 without CPAP. I have been on CPAP 2 years now but still have excessive day time drowsiness on top of the OSA.
I have just qualified for PBS for modifinil a powerful non amphetamine at a full dose daily of 400mg. (2 tablets upon waking in the morning and 2 tablets after lunch).
I've been on this medication 3 weeks now and still feel pretty the same, extremely tired all the time and very drowsy in the afternoon.
My sleep specialist has also prescribed 2mg of melatonin at night that I haven't started yet as my script is being made up by a compound Chemist at full strength with no dilution at all. All melatonin bought off the shelf is diluted. Often quite severely.
Just wondering if anyone has had the same type of experience?
