In reply to Dinah. . . a question, posted by sb417 on August 31, 2004, at 19:59:36
I thought I would have to be off medications, and it now looks like an accurate sleep study would have required me to be off medications. But my neurologist, who is apparently the specialist for sleep at a respected teaching facility, didn't think it was necessary and the facility where I had the test done didn't think it was necessary.
So I'm not even sure what validity my test results have. :( I guess they accurately depict my sleep while on medications.
So my answer is: I don't know. I'd check out the credentials of your sleep doctor and facility before having the test done though. I'd feel better if mine had been accredited specifically for sleep disorders, since it was apparently unusual that he didn't require me to be off meds.
