Lexapro and sleep apnea

they may have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, where they occasionally stop breathing while they sleep -- not good.
See a sleep doctor for a full work up, or come up with some way to keep on sleeping on their side rather than their back.

Except for the sleep apnea part, just about everything you've said has happened in my bedroom. Tell me, have you ever had cats sitting at the foot of your bed during, gazing into the middle distance (it's better than them pouncing on your feet)?

Sleep apnea::: if you got it check out inspire it is a device that monitors your breathing and sends an electric pulse to your tongue to get the hell out of the road and let you breathe. There is a little sensor on your chest and a computer and battery up under your right collarbone that you turn off and on. Been a live saver for me

You know, I just realized I completely forgot the last sentence of the prior chapter. Guess I'm not back at 100% from my long bout with sleep apnea, haha!
Basically, though, Tygress found out that there was no real hostage situation (since the mysterious Zemturga wanted to let John go to do his quest anyway) so quietly shuffled out of the room!

I have been disabled by depression for 12 years. I would like to add the following comments:
1) The Tom Cruises of this world together, with the 'just get over it' people of this world, should have to live with 'drug resistant depression' for 1 year. Well maybe 5 years for Tom. That would change their attitudes and make them forever thankful that they are not depressed.
2)Consider sleep apnea as an underlying cause of depression becoming unmanageable. If you become depressed as a result of too much stress and inability to sleep, have yourself tested for sleep apnea. I was living with undiagnosed and untreated depression and functioning until home and work stress became unmanageable. When sleep apnea made my blood pressure uncontrollable by medication after 10 years of suffering, a specialist determined my problem and I got treatment. I now sleep well and the medications normally control the depression and high blood pressure. But I am still suffering the results of 10 years of prescription drugs and sleep apnea. For me those are: Obesity 150+ excess pounds; Severe Joint Pain in knees, elbows and shoulders whenever the joints are used; Weakened and oversized Heart which results in swollen feet and lower legs; permanently damaged kidneys; a slowed metabolism that severely affects my ability to reduce my weight; and the inability to do any physical activity for more than 15 minutes.
3)Do not be surprised if you have to change doctors or psychologists many times before you find one that works for you. I am on my 9th Dr., including psychiatrists, and 5th psychologist and believe that I have found the right people.
4) Do not rule out unconventional medicine. I laughed off an acquaintance's suggestion that I try acupunture until he said 'what have you got to lose'. I went from being unable to walk a block with a cane to being cane free and walking 10 or more blocks. I also went from a normal mood of 3 out of 10 to 5 out of 10 (neutral) with regular happy periods. I see the acupunturist every week and do as I am told.
5)Talk openly about depression. That is the only way to change peoples attitudes about it.

Bhuff, I hope you enjoyed writing this as much as I appreciated you doing so. Who wouldn't want such a device as well as a business partner like Anya? Couldn't help but smile thinking part of your inspiration was derived from a certain sleep apnea commercial. And that had me considering what yarn you could spin with the infamous, never say die pillow guy. Ok bad joke by me but good writing by you.. Thanks.
