Limitations

 * May be constantly active.
 * May end up killing themselves via an overdose of adrenaline, or more advanced users may also be immune to this.
 * Using adrenaline for a long period of time increases the risks of palpitations.
 * May have to limit the amount of time "amped up", which could range from seconds to minutes, to prevent harmful side effects.
 * Could potentially be only as strong and fast as they normally would be in a fight or flight situation.
 * May be unable to control the adrenaline completely.
 * The more adrenaline released, the less clear their head may work.
 * Turning off may cause severe exhaustion, and if they had sucumbed to pain during the time they were "amped up", they would have immediate, if not crippling exposure to pain.
