it's so wonderful to have a forum for the things that ail us. i'm a 36 y/o mother of two year old twins who is waiting for the results of my tests for sleep apnea. my sister died of SIDS when she was 4 months old and they are now saying that it was sleep apnea. my father suffered for years with it and now lives a much better quality of life with a CPAP and my boyfriend also has it and uses the CPAP as well. i have about another 3 weeks until all of the results of my tests will be back (anybody else have to wait this long?) and i'll tell you, it might as well be 300 years. a few weeks ago i began to sink into a unreal state of depression that my doctor will not treat with anit-depressants until she has the results of my tests. instead, she put me on Riazapam which made me 5 times more tired than i already am (not good when you have two, two y/o's running the ship. needless to say, i didn't stay on those long but i'm having a hell of a time battling this dark place i've found myself in. i guess i'm just wondering out of genuine fear, if this depression will go away after a little time on the CPAP. i'd like to hear from anyone who suffered severe depression, sometimes bordering rage with thier apnea and how they where after treatment.
