Itoo use a bipap (cpap with a breatinng rate set in machine) and nuvigil. I started with 150 mg and cut it in half because I also have sleeping problems. The 75 mg seems to help me tho I was still fatigued but at least I was awake. I discovered that the bipap was interrupting my sleep by trying to make me breathe 12 times a minute. At night I would awaken and realize it was the bipap that awakened me. My sleep md turned the breaths a minute down to 8 and I could keep up with that and I started sleeping straight through the night. I feel the nuvigil helps me also but I'mnot sure I could take 150 mg at a time. Maybe your answer is to decrease the nuvigil and maybe your breathing rate if it is set into the machine. Nancy

I too have sleep apnea...I just took my first dose of 250mg, i was hesitant to try it because of all the side effects. I foolishly took it at 5pm after work and while I would be home in case i had a reaction.

Well, i was more alert & did not crash from exhaustion, but I was up until 3am, and awoke at 7am, which means I'm gonna be shot for the day. The pill did make me feel crampy (stomach) & i did wake up with a headache...not sure I'll take this again.......any suggestions? I'm always tired by 1:00pm even on CPAP

Not sure (Filed in Nuvigil)
