I returned to my doctor who shut it off. A few weeks later he tried to turn it back on,but I developed severe headaches as soon as it cycled.Device was again shut off,and remains off at this time.Have contacted Cyberonics about it,but have never heard from them.For some reason they have a habit of contacting my physician instead of me,when I make attempts to contact them?

Let the company workout the problems. If you asked the people who have the VNS installed, I'm willing to bet they would not want a recall. Depression kills!
