I was prescribed a CPAP (well, APAP as you mention) and the first week was miserable. I think I got 3 hours of sleep total that week, and obviously felt like crap. I talked to my primary doctor and she's like "well then go back to the specialist". That's what I'm doing.
My plan is to get a prescription I can use to buy a bunch of different masks (I don't care about the cost), and get a few days of sleep aids. That should sort it out.
The few hours I did sleep with a CPAP were crazy. I forgot that I stopped having dreams. I had so many dreams while I could breathe at night.
What bothers me is that you need a prescription to get a mask for a CPAP - I kinda get the prescription needed for the CPAP - but the accessory mask - that just seems absurd to me.
