Aaagh, now I did it too! As I said before I closed the response window without confirming...
Don't quote me on this, but I think I've read that SSRIs as a class reduce REM sleep (in addition to whatever effect they have on the depression), so would seem to be even more effective than other ADs as far as reducing apnea goes, if there is definitely a correlation between sleep stages and apnea events.
