Sleep apnea

I’m on day 4. I took it noon but 4 hours later I’d get groggy . So I took 4 pm and felt like my sleep was worse and didn’t have groggy. Not sure when to take it at this point .

But I also have mild sleep apnea and avoiding a device by just making myself sleep on stomach side(sometimes I move in night though ). Feel like I’ve been having more occurrences of throat relaxing and waking apnea moments since starting . Like on of the nights was aware my throat was relaxed and bad breathing then woke .

I think it worsening sleep apnea is not expected and give it time to get better? It hasn’t been long.honestly I need the benefits of the med so I don’t really want to stop it (I’ve seen some benefits I think already).

I can’t afford oral device and don’t want the machine(I was mild and they told me it was optional at my level). So if anyone has any other suggestions let Me know!
