Re: Sunosi - New Treatment for Excessive Daytime Sleepiness due to OSA

So, I'm back. I've been using Sunosi for about a month. I kept meaning to come back and report, but ... December... that's a busy month and the family and I went away for a week after Christmas. Nonetheless, I've caught up with the posts and will try the OSCAR app when I get home on my personal lapt...

Re: Sunosi - New Treatment for Excessive Daytime Sleepiness due to OSA

the drug had to be special ordered. I'll let you all know what the outcomes are. Nuvigil was the worst. Side effects made me want to die. I've been on CPAP for ten years.

Re: Meds

I would recommend asking about Nuvigil. HOWEVER, I would also ask as many questions as possible about side effects. I have several prescriptions (different doses) for Nuvigil. While it works wonders and is the answer to my excessive daytime sleepiness not due to apnea, the side effects are debilitat...

Re: Anyone using Provigil or Nuvigil?

I've been using the cpap for quite some time. But I had absolutely no relief from excessive daytime sleepiness. My wife loves it when I use the machine because she sleeps soundly through the night. Alas, I don't. All settings are perfectly adjusted (just had them checked in December 2015). The Nuvig...
