Heart effects: Symptoms of Neo-Synephrine overdose include rapid heart rate, irregular heart rate, palpitations, anxiety, hallucinations, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting & sweating. Your nose may sting a lot. Not everyone gets all of these symptoms. Neo-synephrine is a highly addictive drug & should not be used routinely. There are better medications for treating your chronic symptoms. See your doctor.
