I have sleep apnea, I wear the cpap with no problems, I have changed the pressures with no results, I feel groggy during the day, from Excessive Daytime Sleepiness I have tried the Dr.s ideas, even though I hate meds, he has prescribed Provigal, it didn't help, my only clue to whats wrong was that I had two pleasent experiences 1). One night I used the cpap and the next morning I felt incredable, no EDS, I haven't had this happen since. 2). After hernia surgury they put me out for a couple hours, then I was awakened with oxygen, I felt incredable, SO was it the depth of sleep as I suspect or the oxygen...The dr. says it wasn't the oxygen, as I'm at 91%. SO what med (is best) that will increase stage 4 sleep without messing up my sleep architecture, or being toxic, and habit forming? (restoril, trimipramine, elavil, mirtazapine, ambien?)... I have a Dr. app today so I hope someone can answer soon.
