I'm with SometimesPsychotic. The massive doses of Thorazine used to be called a "chemical lobotomy" and that makes sense, especially because of the high doses used back then.
I know without a doubt that my intelligence has plummeted after all the years of medication, even though with all the meds I've been on the doses haven't been extraordinarily high.
Anyway. A surgical lobotomy...there are times when I wished for one to stop the depressive rumination/anxiety/delusions. I fairly pleaded with my pdoc in November for ECT. I know that's not a lobotomy, but...yeah, I was desperate.
So to answer your question...there are definitely times when I would, yes. If there were no more med options and I was stuck with a dysphoric manic-depression (mixed) state, yes. I would take that chance. Because living in a hell on earth is not a way to live.
