@Dr Simon Mitchell Do you have any thoughts on this?

The question is are antiemetics contraindicated for rebreather diving?
eg I've been prescribed prochlorperazine maleate and ondansetron for seasickness. Given that nausea is a symptom of hyperoxia, do you see any problem with taking them while on a rebreather?

It's also been raised that some medications may increase the risk of seizure. Is that the case with these medications?

Thanks!!!
