Has anybody here with a history of benzo use done tDCS before safely? Trying to figure out if I’d be a seizure risk or not using tDCS since kindling does lower the threshold overall. (Never had one before). Will a neurologist be able to test and rule out if I’d be safe trying it?

I would love to try out tDCS specifically for improving inattentive ADHD and enhancing motor learning, and possibly even anxiety. I actually just ordered a tDCS device for this purpose. The only issue is I have a history/a period of time where I used to use phenibut/benzos and I went through a period of time where I’ve withdraws from them. To the point where I am slightly kindled/ or have the kindling affect at play. I am not kindled to the point where I’ve had a seizure before, but I am kindled to the point where I am sensitive to any intake of alcohol or benzo use at all and if I take a dose of either one I’ll go into withdrawals. The very last time I touched a benzo was April 11th, 2023 and that was just a small dosage I tried one time before I realized I’m kindled. The time before that was when I was tapering and that taper was finished August 22, 2022. For specific info the two places I’d be applying the tDCS is the DLPFC and the primary motor cortex.

Is there a test a neurologist can do that can rule out weather or not I’d have a seizure from attempting tDCS ? Has anybody here with a history safely used tDCS?
