procainamide I have had problems in the past with local anesthetics. I feel I am allergic to them. I do not break out in hives or rashes but get this strange feeling that I cannot describe its almost like Im grasping to keep alive. I would like to know the stats on people allergic to local anesthetics and what the symptoms are. I have neglected to have dental work done due to this problem. Now, I have some urgent work to be done and am facing it soon. My dentist says he will use the kind without epinephrine. I am literally scared out of my wits. My dentist tells me it is very rare that people are allergic to this type drug. I hope someone can help me with this problem. I am also allergic to the yellow dye that is used at the Optomitrist's I dont know if this has the same basic ingredients as the local anesthetics. I dont even know the name of this drug.
Thank you, Nancy
