I just got back from my PCP's office and the VNS rep was there and turned the VNS on for my depression. At this point it runs 30 seconds out of every 5 minutes. I can't turn it off my self but I can hold my magnet over it to stop it. He said it could take up to a year to see the depression change.

It's going to be interesting. When it comes on it bothers me but I am hoping I can get use to it. He thinks I'll do find with it. What I feel is like a slight choking feeling but it hasn't changed my voice. Just too wierd.

I go in every week for 4 weeks to change the setting until we get it to where we want it.

Keep your fingers crossed. I'm just nervous about it right now.
