Hi Mady Yes i get them after eating alot of the time like you and i now drink only decaf tea never makes my heart act up and i understand your fear so much and the klonopin has been like a miricle so far as easeing my fear and helping me sleep.I feel alot better now a days and no your are not alone and im happy i could help even just a little.Ask again for your pyschiatrist to let you try klonopin it really does help with the fear at least for myself it has.

The injections they give to numb an area of your mouth is local, meaning it will not affect the rest of your body.  What will affect the rest of your body is the panic that sets in when you are scared of a new med or prodecure.  Take a xanax or Klonopin about 1 hour before the procedure and you will be OK...trust me :)

I can tell you you're not alone in this forum with your symptoms. I suffer from the same things you experience more often than I'd like to experience. Glad to hear you are finding comfort reading others senarios or situations. I've been really reluctant to start on a regiment of klonopin but I'm finding an increasing number of poeple here that are benefiting from it.

Hi mady01.  

You may concider asking your dentist to "not" use the anesthetic with the epinephrine in it.  You will be fine.  In my case, the numbing shot that contains epinephrine caused me Tachycardia (racing heart rate).  

Later when I had to go back to the dentist, I told him this and he agreed that it can affect some people that way and he advised not to use anesthic with epinephrine on me any longer.  He used something else and I was fine.

Have a great day.
