David, I also noticed the comment in the manual ( I am  IANTD Tech Nitrox inst 
and Trimix diver) and followed this up with a thread but with no substantial 
replies, however the only feedback I got was negative, comments such as "anti 
depressants" are contra-indicated for diving.

BUT !!!!!  in "Mixed gas diving" Mount, Gilliam et al, pp114 under the heading 
"Prevention and Cure of Narcosis" point 4 states and I quote:

 "Anti depressant drugs (few that are not contradictory to diving) Acceptable: 
Aspirin, carbohol, frenquil, deriden, phenacetin"

Where did this come from does anyone know more. Is aspirin about to rear its 
head again???

Your thoughts?
