Went to my psychiatrist today. He doubled the current on the VNS stimulator. Packs a real punch to the vocal cords. I think this might take a few extra days to get used to.
Also, since I have been going downhill the last many months, my meds have been upped. So right now, I'm on VNS, Remeron 45 mg/day, Abilify 20 mg/day, Luvox CR 200 mg/day, and Xanax .50 x 5.
I think I'll be full just on the pills. No need for food.

Yes, thank you for the updates. I swear I wrote a reply to your 1st update, but it didn't "take." Anyways, I had considered fighting my insurance last yr to cover this for me, but my pdoc was not convinced that there was enough data out about it yet. I've since responded to a med coctail, and have not needed to persue the VNS, but I do keep my eye out for people's responses, in case I consider it in the future.
