no, it was suppose to be a made up drug, but i found some chemical labs in europe that do infact sell a chemical called andrenochrome. i dont think its anything close to what they have in fear and loathing. I spoke with a sales rep from on lab and she said she was going to ship me a sample, it hasnt showed up yet...

The effects can be real if you were to consume adrenaline while you are already on psychedelics. The reason I say this is because I have had intense adrenaline rushes on LSD, and it seemed to enhance my experience by 10 times. Maybe it is not all that fake. If you seen the movie or read the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, then you know H.S.T. was on all kinds of drugs when he took the adrenacrome/Adrenaline extracted from a human adrenal gland. Nothing like the blood rushing through your body to get your trip put into hyper drive. I am not saying adrenacrome is a real substance, because I do not know if it exist. What I know is what I felt when I was under the influence of LSD and had adrenaline pumping through my body.

[SIZE=+4]Using adrenaline (epinephrine) [/SIZE]
Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a natural hormone released in response to stress. It is a natural "antidote" to the chemicals released during severe allergic reactions triggered by drug allergy, food allergy or insect allergy. It is destroyed by enzymes in the stomach, and so needs to be injected. When injected, it rapidly reverses the effects of a severe allergic reaction by reducing throat swelling, opening the airways, and maintaining blood pressure.
Use of adrenaline for treating anaphylaxis is First Aid.

[SIZE=+1]The principles of management of anaphylaxis treatment are:[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]
-Identify and avoid the cause (where possible)
-An Emergency Action Plan to treat accidental exposure[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Since episodes of anaphylaxis are unpredictable, a well thought-out "Action Plan" is an essential part of management and should be practiced by the patient and care givers. It requires the patient and their care givers to recognize early warning symptoms, to carry appropriate medication and to be trained in its use.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Use of adrenaline (epinephrine) in anaphylaxis[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]
The body's response to anaphylaxis is to release adrenaline, a natural "antidote" to some of the chemicals released as part of a severe allergic reaction. It can not be given by mouth, and inhaled adrenalin is ineffective. Injected adrenalin works rapidly to reduce throat swelling, open up the airways, and maintain blood pressure. It is the only medication available for the immediate treatment of severe allergic reactions.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Potential risks of giving adrenaline (epinephrine)
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Common side effects are those of increased heart rate, an increase in blood pressure, thumping of the heart, shaking, nervousness or a transient headache. Of course needles hurt, but you have to remember why you are using it![/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Potential Risks of NOT giving adrenaline (epinephrine)
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Adrenaline is advised when you have evidence of a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, such as inability to breathe or a drop in blood pressure. When administered as directed, the risks of not giving adrenaline far outweigh any potential side effects of the medication.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Storage of adrenaline (epinephrine)
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]Adrenaline may be stored at room temperature and does not need to be refrigerated. As long as it is clear (and not brown and cloudy), it is normally safe to use. The shelf life of adrenalin is normally 1 or 2 years from the date of supply. You need to check the expiry date from time to time. Automatic injector devices like "Epipen" have a clear window near the tip where you can inspect the drug.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Where to inject adrenaline (epinephrine)
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]The adrenaline is best injected into the muscle of the mid thigh. Injecting here makes it extremely unlikely that damage to any nerves or tendons will occur, or that it will be inadvertently injected into an artery or vein, which are deeply buried in the thigh. It is also the least painful part of the body to give an injection![/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Available adrenaline (epinephrine) preparations in Australia
[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]There are 3 commercial preparations of adrenalin available. Your doctor will advise which is most suitable for your needs, and the dose required.[/SIZE]
The EpiPen autoinjector device was originally developed for military use to administer antidotes to poison gas attacks. Each EpiPen has only one dose of adrenaline. It is designed to be used as a First Aid device by people without formal medical or nursing training.[/SIZE]
