Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome
"I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea about 5 years ago. I use a bilevel cpap every night. I am a 60 year old male. I have chronic and severe back pain also. Between the sleep apnea and pain meds I was sleeping up to 18 hours a day. After finally getting insurance coverage for Nuvigil 150mg I started it about 5 months ago. I take it everyday. The first day I took it I was up for 20 hours straight and felt better than I had in 15 years. This drug worked great. A couple of days ago something happened. All of a sudden I&#039;m back to spending all day in bed and can&#039;t stay awake. I don&#039;t know what happened. Hopefully next week when I see my doctor I can find out. I hope I don&#039;t need a stronger dose already."
