Babak,
As with the meds, VNS has mixed results as far as efficacy. Given that the population that has the VNS implant often turned to it after having limited to no success over a prolonged period of time with other treatments (meds), there are a remarkable number that achieved some relief with VNS. Some have gone into remission too.
A good board where you can post your questions about VNS is here: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/vns-for-depression/
I have the VNS implant. Unfortunately, it has been of very limited benefit to me, but if you go to the site I listed, you'll find plenty of success stories.
Best wishes.
