> But did it snap you out of depression? I have tried all the meds and they either dont work or have such terrible side effects that I cannot stay on them. I have tried everything for 5 years and am just short of suicide so I have nothing to lose. My doc doesnt think highly of vns based upon his research. I am going there to listen to what they have to say. If I did vns I am still screwed because you need a med to augment with and I dont have one. I have a lot of bad memories, to lose many or most of them wouldnt be such a bad thing for me either.
ECT didn't help my depression. I know it's helped many other people, though. Also, I often feel like I suffered cognitive damage. I'm telling you this in the interest of full disclosure.
