One week is not enought time. Most patients need time to adjust to CPAP use. One would also need time to adjust to new medication.

Also, my sleep doctor likes to do a follow-up test after six weeks on CPAP. You might want to consider doing this. After the six weeks test, my prescription was raised from 11 to 13. I'm going to do another test between 1¼ and 1½ years on CPAP. This was also at my sleep doctor's recomendation.
