Welcome to NeuroTalk..

I have developed this reaction to epi as I have aged.

I found that pre-medication with a beta blocker helped tremendously. 25mg of atenolol blocked this reaction.
This is a small dose and other beta blockers may work too.
These small doses also work for stage fright and other acute anxiety reactions.

I found my dentist clueless about this, but an internal medicine doctor did agree and gave me 25mg atenolol to use when the lidocaine/epi was to be used. The non-epi substitute does not work for me. And I will not use nitrous as that is awful for your nerves and B12 status.

You will have to ask a medical doctor for help with this problem. You can not do this yourself.
