+1. This mirrors my journey exactly. The Obstructive sleep discussion here is so valuable.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Obstructive sleep apnea.
To answer NeuroNate: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to SleepDoc_PDX. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Obstructive sleep apnea.

Slightly tangential to Obstructive sleep apnea but mike_mealprep reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
