> Hi Old School, Thank you so VERY much for this info. I am going to make my decision known to my PSYdoc on Monday. We have discussed it thoroughly and he and his senior think it is the way for me to go.

> I have spent the last four weeks on a Pysc ward in hospital due to thoughts of suicide plus a botched attempt. I am out this weekend and have been researching. I feel hopeful again as I usually do when starting a new med. My doc feels I am a good candidate. They usually only do them at this hospital in Canada if you are treatment resistant and /or very med sensitive (me). They only do bilateral and it is done twice a week and I will be hospitalized.I am very much leaning towards doing this.
