Hi, since I was put on seroquil in may this year, I developed sleep apnea. I did not realise how much this was affecting me. Sleep deprivision symptoms are almost the same as recovering from an episode. no concentration, unable to follow basic conversations or commands, unable to think how to use house hold appliances., brain just a fog.
Since being formally diagnosed with sleep apnea and have the cpap machine, nearly all my symptoms disappeared within 3 weeks. Incredible since i had these symptoms since may, and started on the cpap machine october. I know it is not the be all and all to my symptoms, but at least now I am now back to running the family home, cooking cleaning etc.
I wrote this in case anyone else is having the above symptoms and may need to be checked for sleep apnea.
