You may get more replies here. This board is just for VNS patients. My unit had to be turned off because the side effects out weighed any benifit and I had my paramiters adjusted as low as they could go.
Everyone is different as are their tolerance levels.
Good luck

Well I have the VNS and it is turned off. It gave me sleep apnea. But dont have seizures much so I am glad I have it shut off and I can turn it on when needed. It has helped me not have a grand mal once in a while for my sodium gets too low and it has safed my skin several times.http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/Lisa
