Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I am very sensitive to epinephren. It is made from adrenal extracts. Does this information tell you anything??? When I was in a car accident, my bottom lip was almost completely torn from my mouth. I was given numerous injections with epinephren in it & it made my heart race, I got shaky, very scared, felt like a little girl, cried uncontrollably, was anxious...it was a horrible feeling. I don't recall ever having a problem when I got injections at the dentist before. From this time on, anytime epinephren was used on my at the dentist, the same thing would happen. When I have surgery, I'm in recovery for much longer than expected. I'm told I come to screaming and fighting. They have to hold me down/strap me down. I scare all the other patients; they've moved me before. All I remember is it's like going under...going under is HORRIBLE...coming back is the same...weird feelings and physicals sensations. I wonder if there's a connection between epinephren, the fact that it contains adrenals extracts, and my current health problems (thyroid/possible adrenal/asthma)? I wonder if I will react the same if I have to use my Epi-Pen (it's ephinephren). I'm going to explore this further. Here's one link: http://www.facialplasticsurgery.net/anesthesia.htm Just curious if any of you have any thoughts. Anyone here with adrenal problems have sensitivity to epinephren??
