1. An implantable device for delivering neurostimulation, comprising:

  • a pulse generator for outputting neural stimulation pulses to one or more stimulation electrodes connected to the pulse generator for delivering electrical stimulation to a selected neural site;

    a controller connected to the pulse generator for controlling the output of neural stimulation pulses in accordance with a defined schedule and in accordance with specified stimulation parameters;

    a telemetry unit interfaced to the controller for enabling user input of a defined schedule for delivering neurostimulation and specified stimulation parameters;

    one or more sensing modalities for sensing a physiological variable reflective of a patient'"'"'s autonomic balance; and

    ,wherein the controller is programmed adjust the amount of neurostimulation delivered in accordance with a determination of the patient'"'"'s autonomic balance and further programmed to receive medication dosage information via telemetry and modify the schedule for delivering neurostimulation accordingly.
