Can I Go For Scuba Diving If Taking Limictal And Vyvanse?
I am 5 foot 9 1/2 in. and weigh 190. i have been taking limictol for several years and vyvance for the last year. i'm feeling great and concentrating well. i recently signed up for a scuba class. Is there any problems with taking these meds while diving?
Hi, thanks for the query. Brief answer NO. Both these medications Lamotrigine & lisdexamphetamine combination prescribed for you for whatever set of medications are not known to cause any significant side effect of such an extent to prevent you from doing scuba diving. But to be on safer side; get a general health check up done to evaluate whether you do not suffer from any middle ear condition or breathing problem which may act as potential contraindication for this adventure sport! Wish you well & All the best! Good Luck
