First I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Catina from Ohio nice to "meet" you all. I'm 35 years old and just had my first sleep study on Aug. 25. The drs office called me today and informed me I do in fact have sleep apnea, no surprise there, I've been trying to tell the doctor for 3 years I thought I had it. I was told first woman don't get sleep apnea very often and 2nd even if I had it I wouldn't like the treatments and probably wouldn't do them.
I was told I needed to go in for a 2nd study to get fitted for a mask, just waiting for them to schedule the appointment. I'm just wondering if anyone else has relied on Ambien or other sleeping pills just to get some sleep if after starting the apnea treatment that need for those pills decreased? I've been fed Ambien for the past 3 years off and on and do NOT sleep without them.
If I posted in wrong place, I'm sorry since this is my first time here. I tried reading a lot before posting but didn't see anything about sleep meds, so any input would be greatly appreciated.
