Can i try skydiving if i am taking 400mg of dilantin daily for a seizure disorder?

Of course: If your neurologist has cleared you to drive, you should be good. I trust you aren't going to hyperventilate. Follow your dream. In the very unlikely event that you do lose consciousness during a jump, your rig will probably be activated by the special device that almost all of us skydivers wear.
