Comment:
I've had frequent instances of anaphylaxis, and while it's not fun, epi does the trick. It works within a few seconds, but doesn't work for long, so you're going to need the ER ASAP. Expect to be incredibly jittery, somewhat panicky, racing heart. Certainly better than anaphylaxis, though.

Comment:
I just got it yesterday and you will not realize how bad the shaking/quivering side effect is until you see/experience it yourself. They're very rapid little shakes of your body, from your shoulders to your hands to your feet. Try not to be embarrassed about it in front of people, as you honestly cannot stop yourself. But it's better than dying.
