I appreciate the help. So wellbutrin is 12 hour taken in the morning so shouldn't be an issue. Lamictal and celexa could cause insomnia as a side effect but I don't have trouble falling asleep.

You need to dig deeper.....like the effects on sleep stages as well as half life of those meds and the daytime side effects.

Or be happy with them and their side effects and don't go deep in your research.

Your choice.

BUT the key to feeling better is not as simple as a magic "feel good during the day" setting on the machine....which of course there isn't one. A nice low AHI doesn't guarantee that you will feel like superman/woman during the day. It's just a number.

I will bow out in case anyone else wants to comment since you don't want to go down a road that I propose.
Again....your choice.

Have a nice day.
