Sleep but never feel better.. gets worse each day

I'm 4 days off zyprexa and citalopram wich are the reason I believe I have these sleep problems (for 9 months i'd been tapering off)

I can sleep but never feel better but worse each day. I was able to make myself feel better with sleep aids, but i'd have to use sparingly and shuffle through different ones to find that relief. I'd build a tolerance to it though and recently stopped being able to find any that made me feel better so I had to go off my medication.

Also I had complained about this to my doctor and she referred me to a sleep study and when I went they had said I do have sleep apnea because I stopped breathing something like 70 times in 2 hours.. But when I got the equipment they gave me a bipap instead of a cpap and i've had no luck using it.. I can't have it on more then 5 minutes before I feel I have to take it off.

Should I try and get a cpap instead or just tough it out and hope I feel better long enough off the medication? Feel 10/10 terrible at the moment.
