I am now almost two years into my journey with a CPAP machine, and things are not going well. I have only slept the entire night once with the device, and it required a lot of trazodone. I usually only get about 45 minutes before I subconsciously, in my sleep, rip the mask off. I am not able to fall asleep without a lot of medication if I am wearing the mask. Does anyone have any advice? I am tired 
My doctor is not much help. He just keeps giving me larger doses of pills, but it is not helping the root cause.

I’m so sorry you’ve not been sleeping well. I don’t need a CPAP machine but have had a hard time sleeping well in recent times. All I can offer is what I’ve done. I keep regular wake time and go to sleep at the same time. I take 10 mg doxepin 30 mins before I go to sleep and then 300 mg gabapentin 15 mins before. I try not to drink too much fluids after 7 pm. These have helped me. I hope you sleep better. All the best.
