It's uncomfortable

This machine is cool but it's uncomfortable. It makes me not want to use it because of how it tugs on your facial muscles.

Easy to use. I'm feeling better since I've been using it. Helps me feel more relaxed, centered, and peaceful. I like using it morning, noon, and night.

I'm doing testing on my Vagus Nerve monthly, and it improved about 20% the first month I added Truvaga in!

I have been experiencing anxiety for years. Full disclosure: I have OCD, which manifests in my need to have full control over my physical well-being. Since I was a teenager (I'm 38 now), OCD has created a lot of mental anxiety for me, which I resolved by keeping control of my environment. When I don't have control, my anxiety manifests as physical anxiety. My breath becomes short, and my chest is tight; I become hyper-vigilant about everything around me and can't relax. I was really good at managing myself, so physical anxiety was pretty rare, and it was mostly reserved for air travel situations. However, over the years, more and more, I began to struggle more frequently with physical anxiety. The first place where physical anxiety began to manifest was when I was a passenger in a car. I have never enjoyed being a passenger, but at some point, I started to have physical anxiety, which made it almost unbearable to allow anyone else to drive so that I would drive 99% of the time.
I know this is a problem, but I have been unable to find a solution other than to avoid the situation as much as possible. Somewhat recently, I learned about the vagus nerve and the impact it has on the body, specifically anxiety. I've tried a lot of different ways to manage my anxiety as I have been reluctant to take medication, and trying a device that stimulates the vagus nerve was another attempt. After researching the benefits, I was optimistic but also had a healthy skepticism.
I ordered the device and tried it the first evening when it arrived. Another issue I struggle with is falling asleep, and the first time I used it, I noticed that I did not struggle to fall asleep like I usually do. I didn't expect this would be something the Truvaga would help me with.
The next day, I went out with my partner, and I decided to let him drive. We were only going a short distance, so I felt I could handle it. I did not expect to notice a difference in my anxiety since I only used the device twice. The night I got it and that morning.
Usually, when I am a passenger, I am hyper-vigilant about what is happening around me. I can't look at my phone or away from what is happening without creating additional panic for myself. Even with hypervigilance, I am still highly anxious and bracing for all stops when other cars are nearby, etc. My partner is great and drives in a way that keeps me as comfortable as possible, which is helpful.
This drive was different. Right away, I was more calm. I didn't have any physical symptoms of anxiety. I could sit calmly in the passenger seat and behave like someone who was not afraid for their life. I kept thinking that it must just be an easy drive (which it was), but even easy drives for me are not that easy. I also kept thinking it could be a placebo-like response. However, after about six weeks of using this device daily, my car anxiety is consistently reduced. I've been a passenger more times in the past six weeks than in the past six years. I didn't think that was possible. Now, I can even check a text message on my phone or Google a restaurant in the area when the car is moving! I could not do that before.
Overall, I've noticed a change in my anxiety. I am grateful that I found this device and its impact on me. My only complaint is with the price of this device. I would pay the price again, but for some, the cost makes it out of reach, which bums me out because anxiety impacts people of all socioeconomic situations. I am hopeful that the more people learn about vagus nerve stimulation as an option, the more product availability there will be, hopefully bringing down the cost so it's more within reach for everyone who could benefit from it.

Worth It

Very high quality and if you have a vagal nerve problem such as damage or poor functional in general it helps. Pro works best for me as I will use for years to come.

Makes a Difference

My son uses it to "destress" and he is sharing it with me for sleep. I enjoy it, he is finding it helps him, but I think he needs to use it more often.
