Ti Min default should be .3 and Cycle Medium
I've been trying different settings for Ti myself, adding more to the min because I have both Central Apnea and COPD. But it didn't help any.

Hey all,
I'm pretty much giving up. I just can't stand high enough pressures to truly wake up rested. I think I need settings 9~10-13~14, but I wake up with terrible aerophagia and stomach issues and GERD as soon as I hit 13 IPAP, even in VAuto to keep the average pressure down. It kind of sucks to know what would fix you but be unable to do it - at least I have some answers now.
I'm going to continue my use of bilevel, EPAP-8 PS3~4, but I don't think it's going to truly cure my sleepiness anymore, not unless by some miracle I can deal with higher pressures in the far future. Wish I had a better update for all the folks who messaged me asking for updates and details. Sorry.

I completely understand the frustration, been there myself. Before giving up if you are game to try one more thing…
Mode VPAPauto
EPAPmin 5
IPAPmax 12
PS 5
If you have already tried it apologies, but what I want to understand is whether the lowered exhalation pressure coupled with the slightly increased pressure support will help.
