Adenosine? Used to revert a supraventricular tachycardia.
Name sounds enough like adrenaline to mix them up, and would have felt like death. Adenosine is rapidly metabolised so it needs to be delivered into a reasonably large vein and pushed with a bolus so I can't imagine it wrecking your arm where the cannula was placed.

I think you might be onto something with the name mixup. I reckon you might be right - thank you!
And I looked up cannula and bolus, but I only remember a syringe with a needle attached to it. My memory might be wrong though.
If it wasn’t adrenaline, what else could it be? I went in and out of waves of in outside this world to inside the room to outside this world and inside the room. Until I was firmly inside the room and out if the trip. It was fast.
And it was into my vein, they tied a rubber hose around my arm. I watched the needle go in. And I had to hide my arm for weeks cause it looked like I injected - all bruised and stuff. Few holes. Must have missed with me moving about.
I also have a vivid memory of the heart beat monitor showing 240!
