Anyone ever survive 100-120 tabs of 1mg? I think this BPD lady is lying through her teeth. Asymptomatic except for complaints of HA and dry mouth.

Would not having any epinephrine or adrenaline kill you? I wouldn't think so. Shouldn't it be akin to taking a strong anxiolytic without the CNS effect?

edit: and perhaps dry mouth could be explained by the body decreasing parasympathetic outflow as much as possible to match the nonexistent sympathetic stimulation.
