Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea about 4 weeks ago and now have the machine and am using it like am supposed to and everything. Before this I wasn't sleeping more than 3 hours a night at the most. Now I barley sleep 2 if I am lucky and it happens all at once. I can fall asleep just fine, but once I wake up i am up for the rest of the night and mainly until the next night.

I am seeing a sleep specialist, have seen many docs and the docs have given me some medication but because I am on a MAOI i have to be careful of what I can even take. I have depression along with other mental illnesses and things just seem to keep going down hill, I know it's due to lack of sleep and some physical problems.

I am just wondering if there is anyone who has or is experiencing the same kind of things or have heard of someone like this. i am going on 15 weeks of this, and there isn't anything anyone can do for me. Even sleeping medication doesn't work because i can fall asleep like within 5-10 min. and then am awake a hour to two later. I try and go back to sleep and relax and do things that would help with that, but nothing happens.

Just looking for ideas if anyone has any.

Thanks,
Jen
