A member asked:
Would urine epinephrine be elevated with panic attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely possible: urine epinephrine is not that helpful when it comes to diagnosing adrenal gland disorders given the short half life of the hormone. Anxiety does lead to epinephrine production and false urine elevation. In a panic attack it could very well be elevated.

I'm prescribed Xanax (alprazolam) for panic attacks, and am wondering if it's safe to take Xanax prior to receiving a Moderna vaccine? And are there interactions between Xanax and epinephrine (I don't have a history of allergies but want to be safe)?
