epinephrine

The idea is that depression could be a feedback loop in which negative life events cause the brain to become chronically flooded by stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine.

The human fight-or-flight response induces the adrenal gland to release epinephrine, which causes a raised heart rate, excitement, etc.

An example would be the use of lidocaine and adrenaline/epinephrine in local anaesthetic for closing a wound in the extremity.

Over time, research with small molecules like epinephrine and the psychedelics showed that perception/decisions/will could be profoundly influenced by neurochemistry.

It became commercially available in 1963 and was a little kit containing a syringe pre-loaded with epinephrine, antihistamine tablet(s?), and a tourniquet.

Drugs like Epinephrine are very good at getting your heart to beat again.

I'm absolutely NOT arguing that and I thought my post made it very clear that epinephrine does save lives.

They told her to stop eating some class of foods and a bunch of other stuff and to start carrying around an Epinephrine injector.

Not my epinephrine levels no, but RescueTime does let you know when you're working more productively than others I guess.

Drone operators are in no personal danger and don't need to act while under the cortisol and epinephrine loads of bullets whizzing by their heads.

The epinephrine just bridges the gap until the antihistamine kicks in.

You can try CPR and epinephrine, and in the best case scenario, you might get the heart into a condition where you can use the defibrillator.

"Adrenal gland releases epinephrine" is the trigger but it is not sufficient to describe the experience of a conscious person.

Caffeine blocks the sensation of fatigue, epinephrine does it even moreso, and up until I was in college, when my roommate told me about it, could be purchased from truck stops as an “allergy medication” but truckers use it to pull double shifts.

Epinephrine doesn't seem to be particularly expensive to produce, so my guess is that the auto-injectors are expensive simply because of the small scale of the market.
