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.

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.

used on me when I developed an uvula angioedema. First in my late 20s. Then again when I was older, but do not remember the dosage. However the effectiveness was as good, as when I received it in my almost 30s

This is a one drug that should be available as a generic. It really is a life saver. I have an allergy that is environmental, and is unknown at this time. I have a severe reaction around Memorial Day every year and have not been able to find out what the trigger is.
