You should probably have a clinic sleep study Polysomnogram. After significant findings of sleep apnea, with my home studies, I was referred to a sleep Doctor ( neurologist) who had one done. I have both central and obstructive, sleep apnea, neither are correlated to me being on gabapentin, and then further Lyrica. The aim of this study was to systematically review the efficacy and tolerability of gabapentin in the treatment of sleep disturbance in patients with medical illness. PubMed was searched for randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials that We study how severe was Sleep apnea, when it was recovered, drug effectiveness, race, and more among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin) - The subjects were older non-obese men without sleep complaints or sleep apnea. Subjects were given a single dose of gabapentin or placebo followed by a sleep study. Gabapentin and Sleep Apnea: Unraveling the Connection Gabapentin is a medication primarily prescribed for managing neuropathic pain, seizures, and, in some cases, restless legs syndrome. Its mechanism involves modulating calcium channels in the nervous system, which helps reduce nerve excitability. Abstract Although drugs with sedative properties may increase the risk of airway collapse during sleep, their acute effects on the apnea-hypopnea index in older adults are under-reported. We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Does gabapentin cause sleep apnea? Research suggests that gabapentin may potentially contribute to the development or worsening of sleep apnea symptoms in some individuals. An FDA-approved drug for restless legs syndrome is included. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning that serious breathing difficulties may occur in patients using gabapentinoids who have respiratory risk factors. This warning includes gabapentin enacarbil, a prodrug of gabapentin marketed as Horizant by Arbor Pharmaceuticals, which is FDA approved for the treatment of restless Gabapentinoids and sleep apnea syndrome: a safety signal from the WHO pharmacovigilance database Sleep. 2019 Feb 1;42 (2). doi: 10.1093/sleep/zsy242. Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a potentially serious and under-recognized adverse reaction of opioids, baclofen, valproic acid, sodium oxybate, gabapentin, and ticagrelor. CSA may be associated with impaired sleep quality, insomnia, nonrestorative sleep, impaired quality of life, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and increased morbidity and mortality [2]. Chronic neuropathic pain (NP) is debilitating and impacts sleep health and quality of life. Treatment with gabapentinoids (GBs) has been shown to reduce pain, but its effects on sleep health have not been systematically evaluated. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to asse Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep respiratory disorder and is characterized by repetitive collapse of the upper airway resulting in intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. The complex pathophysiology of OSA is the basis of the development of numerous comorbid diseases. We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over pilot study using a bedtime dose of gabapentin 300 mg was conducted in eight non-obese older men. Polysomnography measured the effects of the intervention. In this context, baclofen is linked to sleep apnea syndrome [3, 4], aggravating sleep-disordered breathing by depressing central ventilatory drive and/or increasing upper airway obstruction. We hypothesized that gabapentinoids might be associated with sleep apnea syndrome. Summary Although drugs with sedative properties may increase the risk of airway collapse during sleep, their acute effects on the apnea–hypopnea index in older adults are under-reported. We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. Abstract Medication-induced central sleep apnea (CSA) is one of the eight categories of causes of CSA but in the absence of awareness and careful history may be misclassified as primary CSA. While opioids are a well-known cause of respiratory depression and CSA, non-opioid medications including sodium oxybate, baclofen, valproic acid, gabapentin, and ticagrelor are less well-recognized Summary Although drugs with sedative properties may increase the risk of airway collapse during sleep, their acute effects on the apnea–hypopnea index in older adults are under-reported. We investigated the acute effects of gabapentin (GABA) on sleep breathing in older men without sleep apnea. In this context, baclofen is linked to sleep apnea syndrome [3, 4], aggravating sleep- disordered breathing by depressing central ventilatory drive and/or increasing upper airway obstruction. We hypothesized that gabapentinoids might be associated with sleep apnea syndrome. In conclusion, the intricate dance between gabapentin and sleep apnea presents both challenges and opportunities in the realm of sleep medicine and pain management. While gabapentin can offer significant benefits for various conditions, its use in patients with sleep apnea requires careful consideration and ongoing monitoring.
