Question: Now That VNS Is FDA Approved, How Do I Request It?
Answer:
The manufacturer of the VNS Therapy device, Cyberonics, offers a website at http://us.cyberonics.com/en/vns-therapy/that gives information about VNS Therapy, locations where it is offered and how to talk with your psychiatrist about it. If you are thinking about having VNS Therapy, I would also recommend a book written by Charles Donovan called Out of the Black Hole.
He gives quite a bit of information about what VNS is like from a patient's perspective. He also provides information about insurance and VNS.
