Bupivacaine "I went to the ER for a scalp laceration that required stitches. The ER doctor used Sensorcaine to numb the area before suturing. I started feeling sick, like the energy was draining out of me. He began the stitches but didn't get to finish before I totally passed out. The doc said I was 'snoring up a storm,' which meant I was having trouble breathing. Took a couple of hours to be able to get off the bed afterward. Awful experience!"

Bupivacaine "This drug was used as a local before a breast biopsy. The instant it entered my body, I felt extreme burning, and it continued for several minutes. The biopsy was almost done before the burning stopped. I have NEVER hurt so bad in my life, and that includes natural childbirth and an episiotomy done without the benefit of anesthesia. The burn was so bad that I couldn't stop shaking and crying. Five days later, and I am still numb in my breast."

Bupivacaine "I'm allergic to most -caines, and Sensorcaine MPF makes it possible for me to get dental work done without fear of an allergic reaction or having to be on a steroid regimen prior to having dental work done. Since being tested, it has been a wonderful find, since not only have I had to have dental work done, but also have had to have stitches and other medical procedures which required local numbing."

"Was given a shot of this bupivacaine, which I call the good stuff. It works great for dental extractions that can be extremely painful, such as molar extractions or partial bony or full bony extractions. Because the numbness can last 7-15 +/- hours. You should get at least 7 hours of numbness out of it, however. Works great for short-term dental use."

"This medication was the worst medication I have been on, caused really bad anxiety, numb mouth, caused high heart rate, high BP. Metallic taste in my mouth made my taste go numb, nasty stuff."
