I know a lot of people who had dbs and some have said its taken several times to get the adjustments right....and some say the still need meds or there hand eye condition is off and slurred speech and one or two says it didnt help at all....Its brain surgery which is pretty serious operation,,,A lot of people including me will say ,,,it is a walk in the park but as I look back now ,,it really wasn't .. It messes with you emotions , violent outbursts ,paranoia seizures all which I went through till i was activated.. lol I sound like a robot...I am not saying any of these things will definitely happen to you,,, just be aware ...Your life changes also.. no more roller coaster or rides at fairs or football ,,,any thing that can impact your head or neck,,, You don't want to chance breaking a wire..Would I do it again ?? I think I did it a little early but i was in a bad way both mentally and physically so I am glad I did it ...For the past 6 years over all I am happy,, stay pretty active and people cant tell I have Parkinson and hell I even forget sometimes ..I still carry meds with me just in case but rarely need them unless I am at an event lasting more then 8 to 12 hours...Its a tough choice just look at your own quality of life and where you would like it to be and way the pros and cons....best thing i can say...

Well like every thing dealing with Parkinson. it effects people in ways...If you read my story i only have one implant still in my head due to an infection I was lucky and the implant that was left in effected the side of my body which was severely worse then the other..So i cant give you a complete answer because i am only half turned on.lol My major symptom of Parkinson was ridgy and stiffness which is all gone on my right side the side which was more severely effect by PD and I am still on a low dose of siemet 25/100 3 xs a day for the left side but... my balance is still not great and I get anxiety and anxiety attacks and i subject to seizures but i have not had one in about 6 years just the first few months which was due to the infections. So a simple answer from me lol would be balance and anxiety......

That's not a problem ...it was a huge decision for me also...Who is your doctors if you don't mind me asking...
