I WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH MODERATE APNEA AND NOW USING A CPAP AT LEVEL 7 WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. I HAD THE BEST DAY IN YEARS THE NIGHT AFTER MY CPAP SLEEP TEST. THIS COULD BE BECAUSE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AT THE 'SLEEP CENTER' ARE DIFFERENT THAN AT HOME, OR THAT THE 400 MG OF PROVIGIL WAS VERY EFFECTIVE THAT DAY.

I'VE BEEN SLEEPING 16-18 HOURS/DAY WITH NO ENERGY FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. I'VE BEEN USING PROVIGIL FOR A COUPLE YEARS TO TRY AND BEGIN A NORMAL LIFE, BUT IT IS SPORATICALLY EFFECTIVE.

THE PROVIGIL IS MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN I TAKE IT JUST A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. IF I TAKE IT EVERY DAY, I HAVE MIXED RESULTS.
I CAN SLEEP ON 400MG OR HAVE A GREAT 'NORMAL' DAY :arrow: LIKE THE DAYS OF 'OL . USUALLY I'M GUARNTEED TO BE UP ALL NIGHT, THOUGH, WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO TAKE IT CONSISTANTLY (GO TO BE AT 11 AM THE NEXT DAY, DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE PROVIGIL THAT SAME DAY).

:idea:

I'M HEARING ABOUT OTHER MEDS, SUCH AS RIDLEN, ADDERAL, ETC. I'M TIRED OF BEING TIRED. HAS ANYONE BEEN THRU THE GAMMET OF MEDS AND FOUND A CONSISTENT STIMULANT.

HOW ABOUT A CONSISTANT SLEEP AID. I STARTED AN INSOMNIA BINGE JUST PRIOR TO MY APNEA DIAGNOSIS AND NO RX OR OVER THE COUNTER WORKS CONSISTANTLY.

I GUESS I'D RATHER BE SLEEPING ALL THE TIME THAN FELLING LIKE X*&% FROM LACK OF SLEEP. MOSTLY I JUST WANT SOME QUALITY OF LIFE BACK.
