I read these few post with great interest. But I'm afraid I don't know what sleep apnea is? Guess I could look it up....
I have always had trouble sleeping and depression, depressed because I would never get a good night's sleep ( would lay in bed for a couple of hours, finally doze off to wake at 3AM, to stare at the clock until the alarm went off), and then have to get up and go to work feeling like crap, come home and start all over again. I can remember wanting to *kill* my husband because he would go to sleep within 10-15 minutes, and sleep soundly all nite long. The steady restfull breathing would make me so crazy there was no way I was going to fall asleep. I would try moving to the couch or guest room, but would just toss and turn, never getting comfortable.
I started taking Lex in Feb. and since then I have been able to fall asleep quickly and easily, and sleep soundly through the night. But my husband says I snore a lot, and sometimes sound like I'm choking or gasping for breath, when I sleep on my back, don't seem to do it if I sleep on my side.
Any responses or suggestions will be appreciated.~~~8|8
