10 pounds is the difference between needing my CPAP or not.
Also, some sleep pills make things worse. My MIL was taking Lunesta 3mg for a long time and not sleeping. I gave her 10mg Melatonin along with and no change. Then I gave a placebo instead of the Lunesta and continued the Melatonin and she sleeps now.
Yeah, she has dementia. When she is too drowsy in the day I cut back on the Melatonin.
There was no withdrawals from the Lunsta. Seroquel XR gave her terrors. The doc gave it to try one night.
If the doc can get you a sleep study, do it.

Melatonin gives me horribly vivid nightmares.

Yeah, I have been experimenting with Melatonin and dosages, I am convinced it helps, but ain’t the cure I need.

I’m going to go check on the machine next week.
