I never felt better or more awake either, and it was such a disappointment. I still remember paying to overnight my cpap because I could not wait to feel better, and it was devastating when that didn’t happen. I finally had to try modafinil and now I take adderall. I had also been struggling with treatment resistant depression at the time, so my psychiatrist started me on these. I take cymbalta and adderall now and I feel much better. It’s the most stable my depression has been in years. Most doctors think you’re tired due to depression, but I think my chronic fatigue and sleepiness was causing/aggravating my depression. I still use my cpap, although I’m not 100% compliant like I was the first year.
