Hello Mr. Steven,
Welcome to HCM.
Sleep apnea is indeed a disabling condition.
The treatment of choice for this is CPAP.
Regarding the drug treatment, Ambien 5mg is relatively safe in sleep apnea over Xanax.
For depression in sleep apnea, Prozac has been found to be tolerable and safer than other antidepressants.
I think you should visit your physician and discuss about this.
Hope you get well soon.
Thanks.
