    baclofen and scuba diving

    Ok, I know this is an off-the-wall question, but in the interests of safety, one I feel I must ask. Has anyone read anywhere that taking baclofen can be dangerous under pressure? The only thing I've been able to find is that use of a bac pump deeper than 2 atmospheres (about 34 feet or 10 meters of freshwater) is dangerous, but nothing about the effects of the drug itself being magnified under pressure. I'm scheduled to do a fairly deep dive (about 130 feet or 40 meters) in a deep freshwater sinkhole on January 4.
    In the middle of my life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood, as I had lost the straight path. It is a difficult thing to speak about, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood is. Just thinking about it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death, but in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there. --Dante, paraphrased

      Alky, I've been to 30 metres with absolutely no issues.

      Never even thought about it, to be honest.

        I would be careful.As with any drug/medication,caution is advised.You could get pressure induced overdose and feel weird and all,maybe hallucinations. Test dive first.
