Hi Denton, I am a 63 yr old male (going on 83 at times). I have SEVERE sleep disorders, multiple and have been on a Ventilator for the last few years. I used the Respironics BiPAP Auto machine before that and it worked great at that time.

You have probably heard about ****Edit****for all things Apnea. It is wonderful and has people there who are knowledgeable in almost all machines. If the mask does not fit right, etc. someone over there can help him. I use the Swift Mirage II, so does my wife.
OK, that taken care of, on to the drug question.

I have been on Neurontin (never can remember how to spell Gaba - whats-its-name) since
2002. I try to quit it when I can, but I always wind up back on 900mg at night. I am also on Tegratol (spelling??) for Trigeminal Neuralgia and something else. I also have RLS and PN.

I wish your husband the best, and YOU TOO.
