Ok simple question. Anyone out there with any solid info about
antidepressant use and scuba? Currently using wellbutrin xl 300 mg and
lexapro 20 mg daily. Will have an opportunity to scuba soon. I need to know
the lowdown on this: Medication interactions under trimix diving/deco
conditions? Is it a total showstopper or is it as irrelevant as diving
while on The Pill? Can it cause seizures or enhanced narcosis effects or
anything?

do you want unproven internet advice, or medical advice?
you would risk your life on internet advice?

It's never bothered me. I've been on Paxil, Prozac, Lithium and
Zoloft.
But I'm usually wicked assed hungover when I dive...
Take Crownfields' advice.

DAN won't give medical advice, other than "see yer doctor".
Go to 10 Foot Stop for real advice from real doctors who really
dive. See their archives for the answer to querie above.

You can go to the DAN website and search on depression and see what shows up.
