I pretty much agree wholeheartedly. My dr. is very cautious about what he prescribes, doses he uses, etc. (seemingly too cautious sometimes), so I trust him when he says that it's a very safe procedure and one he would recommend. We have talked about it casually and he mentioned doing bifrontal 2x's/week for 3 weeks and then once/week thereafter for a few, then once a month, then maintenence meds. He says he thinks I would only be out of work for the initial 3 weeks and then could have my weekly's done on Fridays. He said it was fine to even try to work during the first three weeks, but didn't think I'd be real helpful.
