Paxil and EAN diving

[George Scherman]

I have been on Paxil for a number of years and it has worked very well for me. I just went through PADI enriched air certification and the instructor suggested that I makge sure that there is no countraindication for diving on enriched air. Needless to say there isn't a wealth of dive doctors in northwestern Montana and so I come to you. I'm sure that there is no problem but that is just my "common sense" feeling, which has been known to have flaws. What do the experts thnk?

Have you tried checking with DAN?

If there are no issues with Paxil and diving, there won't be on enriched air either. If there were, you'd have to wear a bracelet or necklace so that medics or ER staff don't give you oxygen either.
