Default DBS and psychosis?

As you may know, my wife has had tremor dominant PD for about 13 years.
Hallucinations with insight began maybe 10 years ago. She is now very disabled, on a lot of Rytary and fast release C/L as well as psych meds which she often does not take. Her psychosis is severe to the point 911 is called almost weekly.
My question to you all is, was/is psychosis or hallucinations caused by PD meds a problem for you and was it considered when being evaluated for DBS?
