> I stumbled on this board today looking for info on Lexapro.
> I am a post Vagus Nerve Stimulator Implant clinical trial patient.
> Unfotunately the device was not effective in making any marked changes in my level of depression.
> 3 months ago the implant was removed.
> I have been left with left vocal cord paralysis as a result of the damage to the Vagus Nerve. I have problems with choking, breathing, and very little voice. It will be months before I will have better idea if the condition will correct or is permanent.
> This is very depressing in itself.Wow Marie, that sounds horrible. I certainly hope that you have contacted a good medical malpractice attorney to file a lawsuit. Dont wait. Do it now. Just because it was experimental doesnt mean they have the right to use you as a guinea pig and ruin your overall health. You deserve significant financial compensation for your injuries. Please contact an attorney NOW.
