Hi ultramar.

Everyone's reacts differently to medications. Just has to do with each person's biochemical systems. I had a sleeping disturbance problem and tried 3 different types of medications. The first two did not work and I hope the current one does not cause the same effects as the first two medications.

zoplicone(latin term for med)eventually caused a worse sleep disorder as it started to give me insomnia. I got switched to trazadone which caused the same effects as you described. So I got switched to Restoril 15 mg which is ok but I have to exercise regularly because my antidepressant makes me anxious enough that at bedtime I do need a sedative. So any med with sedative side effects could intensify if taken in a day and create a sleeping disorder-(apnea in your case.)
