RascalFlattsFan, I haven't tried it but it is used to wake you up if you are still tired. Give it a go and see how you go, probably what you need to ask him is why you are still tired, is your pressure on your machine right, do you get any leaks etc. Has he looked at the results from your machine?

if you have a properly adjusted CPAP then you shouldnt need that med

I just had a sleep study done, so I guess my new machine is set right. I have a new mask and machine. I sleep a lot due to depression. It's easier to forget about my problems if I'm asleep. I have a 9 week old grandson living with me and I get up at night when he cries. I'm not getting enough sleep, which is also causing me to be extremely tired during the day. I fall asleep and talk gibberish.....like telling my mom that the baby needs braces ( ! ) I'm hoping this new med will wake me up. Hoping that it doesn't make the depression worse if I'm not sleeping it away. Sheesh, I'm a mess :(

I have MS and sleep apnea, so fatigue is an issue for me. I have taken Nuvigil for a year. From my understanding, it is basically the same thing as Provigil, but maybe is longer lasting. Nuvigil seems to work for about 13 hours, so the biggest thing for me is to take it before 10am if I want to get to bed on time. The 150mg dose wasn't helpful, but 250mg works great. I have basically a "normal" level of energy on it and haven't noticed any side effects.

I have taken the pill and it could cause some serious side effects mood swings suicidal thoughts. Sometimes addiction to the pill

I have used it for several years as it took 10 years to describe my OSA
I did find it very good although I was prescribed 400mg a day which made me hyper so I just took 100mg in the morning.It seemed to give me a 'lift' and allow me to concentrate better but in a natural way.
Sadly I have now moved and they won't let me have it any more now I have a CPAP machine. This is helping me but has not restored me to normal yet?
How long doed full health take givrn that I have had this problem for at least 10 years.

fleurette, it takes time, the longer you have had SA the longer it takes to recover but some people feel really well pretty much straight away. It took me about 6 months but I have had it pretty much my whole life and only just got diagnosed 18 months a go. I have just repsonded to another post which may help you. Let us know what machine and mask you have and please ask any questions, we are in this together and here to help and support

I was on it for several years and it helped some. I was just diagnosed and the c-pap seems also to be helping. however I am now in continual a-fib and have done some digging and found that it and the cymbalta that I have been using for pain could be causing the a-fib.
