Default Post DBS L-DOPA dependency

Hi All,
I have a few questions for PwPs who had successful DBS and are off medications.

How long did it take to decrease and/or discontinue your meds, specially L-Dopa and agonists?
Is any one completely off all medications after DBS?
Did you experience any withdrawl symptoms?
Is your "on" time after DBS any different than your best "On" time with Dopa/agonists?

Hope to see a few replies.

Thanks
Girija
