I have seizures, and I'm on 2225mg a day of Keppra. The tens machine is fine. But i would rather not put it on my neck or too close to my head area. I found it to be relaxing and therapeutic for my back issue. I use it on my lower back and abs for pain and core. It is a tens EMS combo. It may effect me, such as making me a little relaxed and sleepy.
