Is it safe to dive while taking antibiotics?

[BurBunny]

Definitely make sure you're fine on the antibiotic topside first, especially with these two. While they're excellent drugs, and often the only options to treat certain infections, I've found they both have significant impacts on me which would have me thinking twice about diving with them. Cipro has a history of consistently giving me disturbing dreams (I'd say halicinatory, but since I'm sleeping, that's not really accurate, but it does communicate), and Levaquin gives me a woozy, lightheaded feeling. However, these are apparent in me from the first day, so if you're doing well on one or the other, use your own experience and the advice of the experts.

Hey Doc, Thanks for the info on DAN. They have been very helpful to us in the past regarding questions but your response to NJdiver was much more to the point and concise a response than I ever got from DAN.

That is nice to hear--I do appreciate the kind words.

Thanks,
