Epinephrine "My son was born with multiple life-threatening allergies (1989). EpiPen saved his life numerous times as a child. The good Lord healed these allergies when he was 7 and subsequently didn't need an EpiPen. However, in college, three new allergies surfaced: freshwater fish, seafood, and latex. At present, an EpiPen is part of his normal everyday attire. He is a chef and clips it to his trousers for immediate use. He has had to self-inject a number of times. This easy-to-use, life-saving medication is priceless! My son is alive today because of EpiPens, and I HIGHLY endorse its use. I carry my own EpiPen for bee stings. Fortunately, I have not had to use it yet! But I am definitely prepared!"

Epinephrine "I carry 2 EpiPens with me at all times, they have saved me more than once. When an anaphylactic reaction strikes, I reach for my EpiPen, inject, and within minutes I'm feeling better. I carry 2 in case the first dose is not enough, that has only happened once, and the second dose did the trick. Thankful to still be alive. I follow up with Benadryl to stop itching hives."

"I had a severe allergic reaction to something and was in the ambulance when I was given epinephrine intravenously after Benadryl failed to slow the reaction. The epinephrine hurt as it entered my bloodstream; I could trace a burning pins and needles sensation as it traveled up my arm, across my back, and into my head. Then it hit - sudden, terrible throbbing headache, my limbs going numb, absolute instant vomiting, and involuntary bowel movement. I said, 'I'm going to die,' since it felt like my body was shutting down. My heart rate jumped, but my blood pressure dropped like a rock - from 145/95 to 85/50 within thirty seconds. It took several minutes for the pain to subside and the numbness to fade. Did it help? Yes, but I don't think I'll use it again."

Epinephrine "I was accidentally stuck by an EpiPen and was diagnosed with diabetes 3 weeks later. I am not an EpiPen user and was unaware that it could cause diabetes until now. This happened to me 3 years ago, please make your users aware that this can happen. In your side effects list, it states that you have not had a case reported about this happening, now you do."

Epinephrine "We have Symjepi on hand for our grandson. Have had reliability issues with the auto ones, and their price and lack of availability."

Epinephrine "Being allergic to bee stings, EpiPens have saved my life on two different occasions. Without it, I could easily have died from anaphylactic shock."

"This drug saved my life when I was having an allergic reaction and my airway was closing. If it weren't for this drug, I likely would have died."
