Fortunately, there are very few serious Novocaine side effects and this drug is very safe. The most common problem is related to the epinephrine (adrenaline). Adrenaline is the fight or flight hormone and when it gets into the blood stream it forces the heart to beat hard and fast. This can be very scary. Some patients think that they are having a heart attack and some patients will faint in the dental chair. This novocaine side effect can be avoided if the dentist withdraws some fluid before injecting to see if the end of the needle is in an artery or vein. If it is, blood will enter the carpule and the dentist will not inject into this spot. The procedure is called aspiration.

Slowing of the heart is one of the most serious Novocaine side effects and it can kill a child when too much is used. A 150 pound adult can easily handle ten carpules with no consequences, however, children have smaller bodies. Allergy can be a problem but is rare. When it occurs, it's most often to the preservative and not lidocaine. Allergy may cause temporary breathing problems and in rare cases, seizures or arrhythmias after dental injections.

Honey it depends on how you took it. And please go see a local doctor as soon as possible. Or the hospital. This is serious it can kill you. Most likely you over dosed.

You will definitely have to go back to the doctor who prescribed Novacaine so that he can determine if you
had overdosed or if there is any contraindication in the
medication itself. By the way, I can sense that there are
unresolved emotions within you. There is a feeling inside
of you which you don't like and it's killing you. I am a
hypnotherapist and I understand exactly how you feel. There
is a good book called the 'Secret Language of Feelings'
which is a must read. It describes feelings and helps you
understand them. It teaches you how to do a reality check.
If your emotion is based in reality, then you have every
right to feel the way you do. Just feel it and allow everything
to just let go. But if the emotion is not based in reality then
you will have to learn what to do about it. Whatever it is,
the books tell you that 'All feelings are good, even anger'
The emotion is sending you a message and prompting you
to take some action. So pay attention to your feelings!
Medication alone cannot help you cope with such emotions.

I agree with artistag. If you are so stupid as to snort novacaine then you should slam your face into a brick wall until the feeling comes back.

Of course I am just kidding, but I half expect that your dumb *** will do that very thing, so disregard my first suggestion and go to bed. It will wear off by morning, so you can be stupid yet another day.

Is your face still numb?? did you learn anything from this incedent??? Come on, I know for sure youve heard the phrase about brain cells not growing back...........how many functioning brain cells do you think you are running on now?? Probably not one of your smartest moves, dude.

Keep slamming it into the nearest wall until you can feel it again.
