Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

After dbs surgery a period of one month thereafter i experienced depressive symptoms. After switcging off the right-hand side stimulation the depressive symptoms as well as lack of appetite disappeared. But obviously motion stimulator which was working very well, stopped working . Has anybody experienced the same and is there a setting that would work to stop the depressive stimulation as well as not affecting by appetite.

It helped the tremors like a miracle; freezing, balance, walking, and other it did not help. I would do it again because my tremors are wild.

Depression before DBS but didn't recognize, after DBS apathy a better word I think, to at least supplement depression. Or in other words....... yes :)

Yes that is a for sure, staying active is key! I had a DBS PROCEDURE done last April . I'm taking half the meds I'm off for less time but I still have those roller coaster days. My bad part is I now am shuffling my feet quite a bit . And yes I would do it again.

I am 72yrs, not on any meds no DBs or any other treatment to date. I look after my kids and myself 7/11. Right hand shakes a lot but can stop it and use it to do things. Circulation feels poor always cold. Apathy and Confusion bad I was so Active before this Parkinson,s kicked in last year, it's a bummer but could be worse. Think activity is essential.
