I've recently been prescribed an Epipen 0.3mg Inj 2 Pack (yellow) for severe allergic reactions. I've never had to use one before and I'm a bit nervous about it. Does anyone have any personal experiences with this? Tips on how to handle it are appreciated. I'm specifically worried about the potential side effects and how to recognize them. Also, how long can you keep it before it expires? How often do you need to replace it? Any advice on storage would also be great. Thanks in advance!

I recently got prescribed Atropine Sulfate 1mg/ml Inj, 1ml. I know it's used in emergencies to help with heart rate, secretions, and muscle relaxation, but I'm a bit concerned about the side effects. I've read about severe ones like allergic reactions and hallucinations, and it makes me nervous. But I also know that many people might experience only minor side effects. Can anyone share their experiences with this medication? Are the serious side effects as common as the list makes it sound, or is it mostly minor stuff like dry mouth and blurred vision?
