@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , Team member @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member has said he had the VNS but that it didn’t help him much. He then got an RNS but not to long ago he said his doctor decided not to use it anymore. He can talk to you more about that. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky

I.had the VNS implant years ago, it wasn't helping me at first. I questioned the Dr. I saw at the time and was told it would take adjusting to which took about a year. It worked good for me then.
