Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

My partner (45yo) got epilepsy after suffering from encephalitis two years ago. He is on Lacosamide and Topiramate. He still has 3-4 long partial focal seizures a month. VNS has been suggested to us by our neurologist. Has anybody got any pos/neg experience with that? Has it reduced seizures? Has it led to a decrease in medication? Has it had a positive effect on mood? Any experience is most welcome
