In reply to BPS, contacted Toronto about DBS Re: OCD Q. » bipolarspectrum, posted by temoigneur on March 11, 2005, at 18:57:40
Hi D,
Yeah, I will definately report back everything about dbs.. i'm also a med student so the docs often take alot time to answer all my questions and fill me in on all the ins and outs of treatments... I will ask about DBS' use for OCD specificially for u... I'm not quite sure whether I will get it as I've been put on a lithium/neurontin combination which may help... but i definately want the info on this kuz lithium makes me kinda stupid... anywayz, stay in touch!
bps
ps. i believe u have to get referred to see these dbs neurosurgeons.. i think ur best bet would be to try and see a psychopharmacologist in vancouver and then they can refer u on.. nothing against pdocs, but the psychopharm people often are more knowledgable about new treatments..
