> Yeah I had a full sleep study done.
My study showed a mild case of obstructive sleep apnea, and I was prescribed a CPAP. It hasn't been going well so far with the CPAP because I'm such a light sleeper. I'm going back in two weeks for a follow-up but I'm wondering if Xyrem may be contraindicated since it supposedly depresess respiration. Any thoughts? thanks.
ps. my clinic does dispense xyrem to lots of people.best regards ~Jake
