A member asked:
Is epinephrine the same as the pseudoephedrine in sudafed? if i take sudafed, will i have the same reaction as i did at the dentist? shaking, fast hr.

It is related: Chemically. Sudafed is what people make meth out of, so it can definitely cause elevated heart rate, blood pressure, and possibly shaking. It really depends on what kind of reaction it was at the dentist. Ask your pharmacist about less stimulating alternatives.
