Be aware of the signs of an allergic reaction. I once saw someone have a severe reaction, and it was scary. If you feel any itching, rash, or trouble breathing, get help immediately.

You know what really bothers me? The metallic taste in your mouth. It's like drinking a mouthful of pennies. But I guess that's a small price to pay for pain relief.

Have any of you had to deal with breathing difficulties or abnormal heartbeat? I'm curious if anyone else has had such intense reactions.

Excessive sweating and feeling extremely hot or cold? Sounds like a bad flu. It’s important to stay hydrated and listen to your body. Some people might need more rest than others.

Anyone else feel extremely tired or weak after using this? It's like my body just shuts down for a while.

I've had Marcaine/epinephrine a few times for dental work and never had any issues. Just make sure your dentist or doctor is experienced with it.

This stuff works wonders, but the side effects can be brutal if you're not careful. I had a friend who had some pretty severe back pain and sensitivity to bright lights. Definitely not fun.
