Brenda, I can relate to the disappointment that the CPAP didn't take care of the depression. I knew that my depression predated my apnea but I still harbored the secret wish.
What CPAP did do was to rid me of some symptoms that I had previously attributed to depression, like constant fatigue, hypersomnolence (I would sleep pretty much straight through from Friday evening until Monday morning, saving all my energy for work), morning headaches, gastrointestinal problems, like reflux, etc.
Now I have more energy to go out and do things, but have still struggled with the other aspects of the depression.
Thyroid problems that got worse in past year brought back the fatigue and lack of energy, but that is now pretty much under control Apparently there is some correlation with apnea and thyroid. I think it has to do with thyroid making tissues swell, etc., not to mention if you have any enlargement of the gland itself.
What is UARS?
I am not taking WB but am considering it. I am in an OK "holding pattern" right now with my meds, but I can tell it is not really the best formula. I have made changes recently that make it much better than before, but am on the lookout for a next strategy, and WB is a possibility, the SR version, I think.
