    epi-pens?

    Certain inhalers at walgreens have it too, right next to the benzedrex I believe . . .

    You can get epi-pens OTC in Canada from behind the counter. Prescription in the US thou. I heard that some med kits in the UK have epinephrine syringes in them.

    in the rest of the world, we call it adrenalin, and it is in various topical anaesthetics in small doses. i dunno if anything else over the counter has it. i think its only for topical use when over the counter.

    I thought that was a british/archaic US thing, and everyone now was referring to it generically as epinephrine. Adrenalin sounds much cooler iMHO.

    no it won't get you high, not like a drug that works primarily in the brain on NET or DAT. What it does is activate the fight/flight immediate stress response...i.e. DANGER. so your heart starts pumping harder, your pupils dialate, digestion slows, bronchiodilation...but its not really euphoric, unless your an adrenaline junky.

    It is a high nonetheless. I heard that it is like a rush.

    lol fuck that . That doesn't sound like a good high to me at all, more like a shitty feeling. "Legal" highs usually ALWAYS suck, ill stick with my oxycodone, Xanax, Opium and Bud tonight [​IMG] !!!


    Tonights Cocktail:

    All oxycodone is in form of Roxicets, which are instant release oxycodone blue pills with only oxycodone in them, no APAP, therefor making them GREAT to snort. Plus they kick in super fast and are also great to eat on an empty stomach..

    9pm: 30mgs Oxy (Intranasal)
    12:15am: 30mgs Oxy (intranasal)
    1mg Xanax
    12:30am: eats other half of Bar; 1mg Xanax
    12:35am: 30mgs Oxy (intranasal)
    Rest Of the Night: Faded and feelin' irie. Hoping to nod off shortly, xanax usually assists in the "NOD" :H

    no, they are identical substances. two names for the same thing. epinephrine, at least in the us, is the generic name for adrenalin, a hormone produced in the adrenal glands. adrenalin is the most common name and word for it, and most people know it better than epinephrine.

    the reason for the two names if i'm not mistaken was that the word adrenalin/adrenaline was trademarked (at least in the US if nowhere else) and as such other products could not label their products as adrenalin, even though the material was the same. so a new name for the chemical was created - epinephrine.

    both are identical in chemistry and effects in the body. its an endogenous hormone.


    someone else seemed to mention ephedrine, which is vastly different. maybe it was a typo though.

    I don't think epinephrine has any recreational value really.
