Utop:
What is BiPAP or CPAP???
No, I've never had a sleep test done. I'm not even sure where I could get that done (small, rural-ish area).
I don't think I've got sleep apnea ( my husband does however, and he wakes up choking sometimes). My husband says I often jerk (like electric shocks) during the night, as well was being incredibly restless. I have ripped nighties, worn out areas on sheets and worn the "foam egg shaped waffle pad" bumps, we have on our under sheet foam pad down to flat!!!.
I get very hot at night. I wake up really easily.
I don't know the cause, but Klonopin has reduced the restlessness somewhat.
My Pdoc has suggested Wellbutrin for SE's to Celexa, so I'm considering trying that, in the hope that I will also get a quick wake-up time.
I take 200mg of caffeine, plus a cup of coffee each morning about 1/2 hour after GETTING up. Takes at least an hour to take effect, but it does help.
I'm thinking I need a dopamine shot!!
What you say about depression, is so true. Keep experimenting. It's what we're all doing.
Take care.
