"From my experience, it is not a safe product/drug. I have had aftereffects of this medication where I feel anxiety, nervousness, dizziness, dry mouth, and wobbliness. I feel challenged to drive on the highway at times, where I feel impaired to go beyond 60 mph. You simply do not feel like yourself. The DMD mentioned no side effects. I believe most dental offices/medical staff are partially informed of the severe side effects and have very little knowledge of Septocaine, better known as Epinephrine Bitartrate. Most patients who are introduced to this medicine are not aware of post side effects. It should be off the market. The sustainability of the drug is unknown. Please be advised, use old-fashioned Novocain (the shortest acting anesthetic at a minimal)."

"I am not pleased with this medication. As an elderly person who is sensitive to many medications and who takes many medications for illnesses, it has had moderately severe and long-lasting side effects. It lasted for 5-6 hours (tooth extraction only took 1 hour). Much too long with no control over half my face. In addition, I had allergic/anaphylactic responses: severe headache, muscle weakness, low blood pressure, blurry vision, difficulty breathing, itching, coughing, and runny nose, dizziness, and imbalance. I am still experiencing most of these issues 4 days later. I will ask for Novacaine in the future. I never had these issues with Novacaine."

"I have been lightheaded and dizzy on and off since I had three fillings on one side of my mouth filled. It is mostly when I stand up. It has been a week, and I am still experiencing these symptoms. Does anyone know how long these side effects will last?"

"Without this articaine/epinephrine, I do not get numb. This usually is worn off within 30 minutes after getting a filling. My life with any dental work, before discovering, had been terrorizing, as I have always had this problem of the anesthesia not working, but as a little kid, no one believed me, and I felt everything. I am 51 years old, and I recently cried because it was the 1st time in my life I did not cry at the dentist. This would not be possible without Septocaine."

"I have recently had the long-acting version of this used during a simple cavity filling. I have EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), and lidocaine wears off in minutes after the injection, I am not joking. Septocaine lasts about 30 minutes before it completely wears off, and that is more than enough time for the dentist to fill my cavity. If lidocaine wears off fast for you, I suggest asking your doctor to try this. Time on medication = I have been using it at the dentist for the past 3 years for cavity fillings."
