Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome
"First day on Nuvigil prescribed by a &quot;second opinion&quot; sleep doctor.  My first sleep doctor kept discounting my complaints of constant sleepiness even after having the CPAP machine for over a year. He had never even talked about any medications for excessive sleepiness.   But, my &quot;second opinion&quot; sleep doctor did pay attention.  I can&#039;t thank him enough.  My first day on Nuvigil has been like a sunrise.  This is the first day in at least 6 years that I didn&#039;t fall asleep.  No headaches, jitters, nausea. Started to feel the &quot;wakefulness&quot; easing off after about 6 hours.  I agree about the cost, it&#039;s outrageous at over $10/day.  I also take medicines for Atrial-fib, so Nuvigil is one of the few I can take."
