Anyone done VNS at home?
- Elle_Benjamin 1y agoYea, I have. I ordered one from vagus.net in February 2023. Over 6 months, it forcibly kicked me off a 20 year SSRI prescription. I've been using it now for about 2 years, weekly if not daily, and although I still regularly feel depressed about the world, I also feel my other feelings (which were blunted on those SSRIs). I no longer live in a state of fight/flight, though I'm quick to walk away when approached by strangers. Overall the tVNS has been lifesaving for me and my autistic-AFAB-CPTSD friends. (Autism by itself involves vagus dysfunction.)
