I have narcolepsy so I may provide some clarity. CPAP is useless for narcolepsy as narcolepsy is not breathing issue. Narcolepsy is a neural condition in which the body does not properly gain energy during sleep resulting in daytime sleepiness.
This can be aided with a multitude of drugs, all of which affect the brains prefrontal cortex which also happens to be the part of the brain where ADHD, BPD, and anxiety/depression stem from. This can mean you may have any one of those conditions or just select symptoms in addition to narcolepsy.
I cannot answer about the Prozac specifically but I can say Modafanil may exacerbate problems the patient was unaware of or would rather avoid at a cost of trying other drugs. Likely OP did receive consultation on many drug options with potentially preexisting depression being a factor in choosing Prozac.
- sizzle 5y agoThank you for the great explanation. It gave me a few new avenues for me to go educate myself further on the topic, as I will have to provide care for a parent that is on CPAP with OSA and now I understand why they are on Celexa. Take care!
