Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient started having increased suicidal ideations possibly related to vns stimulation.Additionally, it was noted that when the patient was seen for a follow up after activation for further programming she noted increased irritability and desire to shop, which she indicated she is concerned may be signs of mania.However, per the physician, the increased irritability and desire to shop are new and do not meet criteria for hypomania or mania.The cause is probably natural fluctuation in illness, but it is possible that symptoms are related to vns stimulation.The suicidal ideation is more frequent than pre-vns, but still passive and not requiring specific intervention.Additionally the patient, is scheduled to see her primary psychiatrist and a change in medication may be indicated which was confirmed to be for patient comfort, not to preclude serious injury.No other relevant information has been received to date.
