hi soki

from my scuba experience basically every dive organisation i am aware of says no to diving on medication. now that you are freediving and obviosuly dont have those underwatertimes as if you were wearing a tank doesnt mean pressure doesnt effect you.

most medications are not tested for their effects under hyperbaric conditions so there is no saying that a short divetime couldnt have negative sideeffects.

the best to do would be to not dive at all until you are off those drugs, or you consult a diving physician (not a regular physician, since from personal experience iŽd say many have not much of an idea about what goes on under pressure) and get his approval. if there should be a hyperbaric chamber with qualified staff in your area ask there.

hope you get better soon

roland
