I've recently had Lidocaine 1%/epine:100000 Inj, 50ml for a minor surgery. It numbed the area effectively, but I experienced some side effects that I wasn't expecting. Has anyone else had similar experiences? What should we look out for? The possible side effects range from mild to severe, but it's important to be aware of all possibilities. I'd love to hear from anyone who has insights on managing these side effects or had other unexpected reactions.

I'm scheduled for a dental procedure next week and my dentist prescribed Xylocaine 2% Inj, 20ml for numbing. I've never had this specific anesthetic before, so I'm a bit nervous. The info sheet lists some serious side effects like allergic reactions and methemoglobinemia, but it also says these are rare. I’m curious if anyone has used this and can share their experience, especially regarding any side effects or recovery times. Should I be worried about those rare but serious side effects? How long will the numbing effect last, and what should I expect in terms of post-procedure care? Any advice or personal stories would be greatly appreciated!
