I'm sure Doctors in the middle east have access to epinephrine considering that it's been around for just about 100 years, and as we all know, doctors is where insurgents and taliban get their medical supplies from.

Epipen is not realisitc, its a realistic parody, adrenaline would not be administered in this way afaik (at least in british medical doctrine the spinal syringe for administering emergency adrenaline is now all but not used), so no point in changing the pen for a syringe.

well, Insurgents are sometimes given adrenaline boosting pills so that they will feel like they have god-mode and go all out to kill the coalition forces. Theres some cases when a man is shot many times and continues on running and firing his rifle. But its still depend on which type of adrenaline your looking at, life-saving or really simply boosting the capability to kill your enemies.

EDIT: Thanks Rudd for the Amphetamine source, but after a few search over the internet, also from wikipedia(Link)

Quote From the page " Drug use among insurgents has been reported by coalition forces in Iraq.[4] Insurgents are using amphetamines, methamphetamines, adrenaline shots, and other unknown drugs to boost stamina and (though shortly) prolong their life if mortally wounded so they can continue fighting. One soldier is quoted as saying "It was like Night of the Living Dead, guys who were supposed to be dead were still alive." [5]

For a cross-cultural perspective, in the American military, amphetamine go pills are used by professional Air Force pilots and other personnel

Somehow, both are used by insurgents. Like the source says, its like fighting zombies.

And also here: Insurgents Fought Under Drug Influence: Marines

Although i dont prefer the word "drug" its more like a supplement to the human body.

sources please, cuz that doesn't sound right...

you might be talking about stimulants which can affect a neurotransmitter called noradrenaline, which is very different in functinon to adrenaline.

e.g. Amphetamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thats nothing new, All armies use speeds to boost their soldiers. US air force pilots have bottom ziplocks of pills to take when they go in mission. Some are wake up pills, others unknown who help them accomplish mission without question. Its a proven fact.

Nazis were the firsts to use it on their soldiers. Creating young "Stormtroopers" who wouldnt go down on first shot, and actually keep going like rambo. Hence why most "speed pills" you see in the streets that ravers pop, are made the "nazi way". (the same way the nazis first made them back in the 40's)

I wouldnt be suprised Insurgents use them as well, Shit I'm sure I would if I was fighting against the biggest modern army with scrap. Same thing if I was USMC... You don't really care about your long term health at that point. You just wanna stay sharp 24/7 and come back from it.
