Just curious if anyone on these boards is using and benefiting from a CPAP machine (for sleep apnea). I was recently diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea (25 wakings per hour). I'm two months into CPAP use, and don't feel it's working much, if at all. I've upped the pressure twice after a titration study. Basically, I feel like I am awake the whole night when I use the machine. I don't feel paranoid about using it. I just wish it would work and I would sleep for significant periods with the machine on. I also have many sleep interruptions due to anxiety, but the sleep doctor says most of my events in the study where of the airway, not brain-based, type. Anyway, just curious about others' experience with this machine and if it had alleviated symptoms of anxiety/depression.
Thanks,
Chris
