Global Patient Feedback for Epipen (Primatene)
Please see our forum guidelines.
I was given the EpiPen for my severe allergy to Bee Stings. I caused heart palpitations, difficulty breathing, weakness, anxiety, insomnia, loss of appitite, and a few other things. I have used it 3 times and each time it has taken me a week to get over the side effects. I was hospitalized last time and they gave me a stress test because the doctor thought I was having a heart attack from it.

The only side effect I have had with my inhaler is a very sensitive tongue, just wondering if it's me or if others have experienced the same problem. It's so bad that I have trouble tolerating any kind of spice, even in moderation.
