Feel nothing from Tongkat

I took 2% for 2 weeks and 10% for 1 week and felt nothing. Am I just a non-responder? Is this still worth a shot? Was hoping to get motivation, energy, and libido since I’m low in all three.
For other context, I also have sleep apnea that I’m using CPAP to treat, but it’s not 100% fixed yet and am still quite tired daily.

Central or obstructive?
If it's obstructive, then there are interventions that restructure the jaw, soft pallette, and upper throat that can essentially fix obstructive apnea.
If it is central, I think it boils down to brain chemistry.
Context: I used to have sleep apnea (probably still do, tbh, but it isn't as bad as it used to be) and largely solved it with exercise.

It's REM related. Most hyponeas, but his AHI is 60 off of the CPAP. With the CPAP is it between 0.5 and 1.5, but the CPAP has reduced REM time. Surgical approaches were found to not be a good fit for him.
