New Drug Offers Hope for CPAP-Free Nights for Sleep Apnea

[danieltx]

I just started using mine nightly about 2.5 weeks ago. When did the daytime sleepiness subside for you all once you started on the cpap?

It will noticeably subside once you're using your CPAP for most of the night - say 6 out of 8 hours.

I want to talk to my Dr about provigil. I used it in the past with my old Dr but this new ones doesn't seem to want to write a script for it. Kinda makes me feel like im an addict asking for drugs. Just makes me feel uncomfortable.

my prediction is this will never see the light of day.

That makes no sense. You're a bodybuilder, drugs are a huge part of your life.

The moment I read that I laughed, thought the same thing, and immediately read your reply.

Makes no sense. I dont get it.

Same to you as I posted above.

Hope ur wrong - there is a huge need for something effective and safe as the majority of people cannot use CPAP - drugs entering Phase 3 trials have about a 30% chance of coming to market so who knows

Funny, I just read an article about this drug and this is the first place I came to for info. Guess it's older news but of course these things take forever to come to market.

I don't have sleep apnea, but our son in law does. Still hasn't gotten a cpap yet because of insurance issues. I was going to prowl through some sponsor lists and see what's available.

I would give it 30 days and you will adjust fully. Its a pain in the ass putting it on but now my body goes right to sleep. I can't imagine not wearing mine. I sleep so good now.

I'm not a fan of drugs for no reason, but for those who actually do have apnea (seems like it is a big industry $$ so question how many people are being diagnosed for profit)...this would be a game changer. I couldn't imagine having to sleep using a machine.
