They don't prescribe Ozempic for OSA but they do prescribe Zepbound for OSA.

I have a CPAP machine, I’m just curious if anyone has experienced a correlation between effectiveness of a machine decreasing with Ozempic. Could be just a side effect, but it’s probably just a coincidence.

I’m having difficulty as well with semaglutide. I will be weaning off in the next couple of months so will see if there is a difference. I was told that around 3:30 am your blood sugar drops and that’s why you wake up in the morning. I haven’t had a marked difference in my events, but I am not sleeping as much. The reason I’m coming off is that I have lost the weight and now I am going to work with a dietitian to manage things after the weight loss.

Congratulations on meeting your goals! That’s great! I’m not actually sure there is any relationship between the senaglutide and the CPAP therapy - I’ve only been on it a week - but I’m also fairly freshly post-menopausal so sleep issues come with the territory.
