After being diagnosed with mild sleep apnea through an in-lab sleep study(a PSG), finally got my CPAP equipment three days ago. Now I knew there would be a long adjustment period to get used to sleeping with a mask strapped to your face, as well as the body, generally, getting back to a somewhat normal pattern of sleeping. However, my sleep was HORRIBLE. Constantly waking and falling back asleep and bizarre dreams. After two sleepless nights, manic, with a migraine, my usual pattern.
I'm scheduled to see the neurologist, tomorrow afternoon, but I don't want to use CPAP anymore. And there is a recent abstract in PubMed from Penn State/Hershey concerning two bipolar patients who went on CPAP and became manic from using it. Any personal experiences or second hand knowledge? I need to know. Thanks, all. |

Wow. No knowledge re this but it is new knowledge for me! I want to send you a hug anyway. I have bipolar also, II, I think, but I want to get an official accurate diagnosis from my new doc. I use an oxygen concentrator for COPD and I am lucky, have grown to love it as it helps me sleep. I feel for you. Good luck with this. I will try to follow this.

I slept better, longer and felt more rested when I started using CPAP.
