My wife started to notice me stop breathing at night. I did the overnight Apnea test and they said I had a bad case of sleep Apnea. I was prescribed a breathing aparatus and used it for a while. The next time I changed meds I slept normal. I was retested. The Dr. supposed it was medication induced. I have had several medication induced problems. Once when on depakote and a combination of other med. I had some form of meningistis appear. I would black out 10-15 times a day. Just for a few seconds. Sometimes we think we are using "more safer meds" because we avoid narcotics. Some of the meds used for cluster headaches have life shortening side effects. ie. liver, kidneys, etc. Thanks MIKE L
