| 5 | gastroparesis | I have experienced no known side effects. It's been a life safer for me, I'm still eating food! | 2 years | 3/27/2008 | 5 | 1X day | 11/14/2013 | 5 | Migraine | Omg...I was administered reglin through my IV while getting fluids. She only gave me a half dose and I flipped out. I immediately felt dread, aniexty, nervousness, hyper, frequent urinating, shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat....I thought I was dying. She didn't give me the rest. I had to walk in the hallway to calm down. This medicine should not be administered. | This medicine should not be administered. | F | 1 days | 4/30/2015 | 3 | Nausea from Cancer treatments | tremers in hands, weakness, slight depression, no appetite, | would like to know if others has had these experiences | M | 3 days | 2/8/2009 | 2 | gatroparesis/nausea/ stomach pain | I couldn't understand why I was so depressed all the time. At first I thought I was just depressed because I was ill most of the time. After discontinuing the medication I realized that was it...the medicine was making me depressed. I've always been the nervous type but when I was taking reglan I stayed jittery. In addition, there were a lot of times that the medicine heightened all my symptoms instead of relieving them. | Those pill are poison and everyone should stop taking them. What good is the medicine if you kill yourself. The doctors should be ashamed of themselves to keep promoting medicine that attacks a persons mental state. Thank God I did not take the stuff 3 times a day like they directed or I might not be here to talk about it. It is that bad! | F | 4 years | 7/14/2009 | 1 | increase milk production | shakiness, drowsiness, insomnia, depression; withdrawal--anxiety attacks, severe insomnia, skin crawling, inability to sit still | Worked like a charm to increase my milk production, but not worth it! While taking the medication, the side effects were livable, but after going cold turkey I thought I was going to die or lose my mind. My doctor put me back on the reglan at a lower dose and tapered off, which helped the anxiety, and put me on Lexapro. I took Xanax and benadryl to help me sleep--not very effective, but better than nothing. Now I'm on Ambien, which helps sometimes. All the anxiety symptoms are much better after 4 weeks. Still having major trouble with sleep though. | F | 10 weeks | 9/3/2009 | 1 | Nausea and vomiting | I was admitted to Yale with Sx of nausea and vomiting. In order for me to be discharged the Dr. wanted me to eat. So, the nurse gave me a double dose...she called it...of Reglan IV Push. Before giving me this drug, I told the Dr. that if the medicine has any side effect of anxiety, depression etc....I will have a paridoxal effect. He assured me that Reglan had no bad side effects. Immediately after administering this drug I felt like I had to jump out of my skin, depression, anxiety, RLS, jitteriness, disconnected from world. The nurse would not give me anything to reverse the effects and told me I should breath threw it and sent me home like that. 3 weeks later, I still have waves of depression, anxiety, RLS, jitteriness and could care less about daily activities. I don't think I will ever be the same again...very scared! | This drug should be off market!!!! | F | 1 days 30mg | 10/13/2015 | 1 | Acid Reflux Disease | anxiety, depression, nausea, tremors, diarrhea | Reglan is horrible, it cause extremely bad side effects, I wouldn't recommend ever taking this drug. | F | 3 weeks | 3/14/2008 | 1 | Nausea | Tremors, inability to focus on TV or reading. Could not control sugar levels or Blood pressure, Anxiety and insomnia, Increased whiteblood count. seizures DEATH | They started my mom on Reglan in March of 2008. She started having adverse reaction around Aug and Sept and the doctors did not notice. (She was in a extented care facility). She started having seizures on Oct 1st 2008 and was dead by November 1st. THIS DRUG NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, FYI, if you are in the state of Florida and this drug kills your loved one. (and the doctors did nothing to stop it) you cannot sue. Only if you are a surviving spouse or a child under 25. Where is our protection............. | F | 8 months | 5/3/2009 | 1 | slow stomach | mask face, anxiety (big time), memory, lost weight, can't sleep involuntary mouth movement- mouth blisters - miscellaneous - It is a drug from hell | cannot drive my car - lost my apartment as I no longer can care for myself. Went off the drug in June 2008 it is now May 2009 and still having big problems. Cannot find anything to help remove the effects of Reglan from my body | F | 90 days | 5/17/2009 | 1 | to increase milk supply | Shortly after starting this prescription I started feeling like I had no energy. I kept calling my dr's office telling them and asking if they could do a test for anemia or something. Something was just not right. About a week later I started having horrible insomnia and lots of anxiety. I soon started being very depressed, anxious, having crazy thoughts, it was AWFUL!! I became like a zombie. Then came suidcidal thoughts. Despite going to doctors and them knowing I was on this, they didn't take me off--said it was postpartum depression. I had never had depression in my life despite going through some pretty awful things. Finally one day my husband had intuition or something and decided to throw them in the trash! It took a while for me to get over the withdrawl symptoms and a long time to realize exactly what happened. I thought I was a horrible person. I would not recommend this medication to anyone!! | F | 30 days 1X day | 8/22/2012 | 1 | only 2xs in hospital emergency for | pychotic reaction, tourture... | The second time in emergency I told the Dr. and he didnt believe me! He gave it to me anyway...durring and after my violent reaction he dissapeared... | F | 1X day | 12/3/2012 | 1 | Nausea | Long term anxiety and feelings of derealization. etc. | Anyone experiencing long term mental and emotional side effects please look to the therapy in the link below. Detoxing is also very helpful to get this drug out of your system completely. Your HPA axis has been set off by this chemical trauma, Reglan crosses your blood-brain barrier. Also supplement with a B complex to get your proper levels of B5 and B6 to help the feelings of akathisia some get. Good luck to all. This is an evil drug. But I am making progress due to a very understanding Holistic doctor who understands what has happened. You will get better. http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1865493#i | M | 1 days IV 1X day | 5/10/2013 | 1 | Gastroparesis due to Diabetes | Uncontrolled shaking of legs, arms, facial ticks, shaking and movement of the jaw. | Get off this drug immediately. My mother was on this drug for 6 months for stomach problems related to Diabetes. The side effects were horrible, but the doctors didn't know what was causing it. One of her doctors mentioned that some of the symtoms she was having might be caused by the reglan but even the neurologist they sent her to seemed to think she had developed parkinsons disease. After researching the side effects of Reglan I had her taken off of the drug and within a week most of the side effects were gone. The problem with this drug is that the effects can be permanent and the longer you are on it the more likely this could be the case. We've switched her to Domperidone (Motillium), it provides her with the same relief without the nasty side effects. | F | 6 months | 4/23/2007 | 1 | Extreme | I can't believe doctors are so irresponsible! This should not be prescribed to children or pregnant mothers. | F | | 5/2/2007 | 1 | Migraine | I am 9 months post of having this medicine. The side effects are bad, you will be miserable for a long time. But hang in there because I am slowly getting better. However, this medication will shave off a year of your life with just one dose. Never take this medication, unless you have too. | I won't be taking this again | F | 1 days 10mg iv | 9/5/2017 | 1 | Migraine | IV and received benedryl with to avoid this side effect but did not work..Severe Anxiety, feeling like I couldn’t be still and wanted to jump out of my skin, legs were in constant motion, increased hr and blood pressure. Felt like I was going to die | Glad when the IV Ativan calmed it down | F | 1 days | 8/2/2018 | 1 | Infant GER | started to show signs of tardive dyskinesia ( grimacing, wierd tongue movements, annd puckering of the mouth) | This particular medication did not seem to have any affect in stopping our infants spiiting up after feeding, and with the significant danger of long term side effects we felt that we just didn't want to risk it. Aiden is 6 weeks old. | M | 0.05 | 10 days | 7/7/2005 | 1 | Infant GERD/slow emptying stomach | My twin infants were very irritiable, could not nap without waking up every 10 minutes. Also, jittery arm and leg movements. Lastly, no improvement or resolution of spitting up 3 hours after eating. | I don't recommend this drug for infants | M | 0.25 | 5 days | 1/5/2007 | 1 | Infant Reflux | My 3 month old was prescribed this for his reflux and we never got a chance to see if it helped him because the first night he took it, I had to rush him to the emergency room. We thought he was dying. He screamed for hours and nothing would soothe him. He was making weird movements. | DO NOT GIVE THIS MEDICATION TO YOUR INFANT!!!!!! | M | 0.25 | 1 days | 1/26/2006 |
REGLAN (METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness. Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines. This drug is not recommended for use in children due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements). Ask the doctor or pharmacist for details.
