| 5 | residual effects of NSAID stomach | Dizzy, cloudy when taking recommended dose of 40 mg per day | works like a dream. The closest thing to a wonder drug I've ever experienced. Found that half the usual dose (20 mg verses 40 mg per day) gives results. | M | 52 | 4 months | 9/25/2003 | 4 | migraine | dizziness, cloudiness | I went to the ER for a spectacularly bad migraine last month and they gave me an IV of Reglan and Morphine and the Regland did wonders to stop the vomiting, nausausness of my migraine. | F | 19 | 1 times | 7/23/2004 | 5 | nausea from morning sickness | not as tired | wonder drug! am currently 13 wks pregnant and had nausea from day 1, which got progressively worse. ob recommended i try reglan and iv. i feel 100x better!!! | F | 35 | 3 days | 9/5/2004 | 1 | for an ileus | neurological adverse reaction with Parkinson-like symptoms | F | 35 | 4 days | 10/14/2004 | 1 | infant taking it for reflux | Shaking | Did not help with the reflux, and caused uncontrollable shaking. I read more about it after my child was put on it. I would not recommend this drug at all. | F | 30 | 2 months | 2/9/2005 | 1 | Nausea; gastroparesis | Had a severe dystonic reaction (extreme muscle stiffness/pain). Thought I developed tetanus as even had | F | 43 | 21 days | 2/11/2005 | 3 | gastro paresis | Wrything pain in arms and occasional muscle twitching. Also, slight nystagmus when I was taking 10mg qid. Now, 10mg prn | I have always found Reglan to be good for those moment when food just wont digest. While I do not take it regularly any longer do to side effects I find when I need it, it works. It also helps with occasional nausea. | M | 29 | 1 years | 2/13/2005 | 1 | inability to digest food | horrible constipation | I know this is a weird thing, but it was awful. AWFUL!! | M | 45 | 5 days | 2/21/2005 | 5 | Migraine | Not sure if dizzy feeling is from the Reglan | Neurologist prescribed Reglan along with Frova to treat symptoms of a migraine. The Reglan does seem to constipate me some - which is a welcome change from my IBS type of upset stomach. My doctor said some of her patients take Reglan if they have IBS - even without a headache. That is what I have been doing - if I get too constipated I just skip a dose or two. I need to ask more questions about its long-term use but overall am VERY pleased that this med does what it is supposed to and has helped me very much. | F | 41 | 4 weeks | 2/26/2005 | 1 | GERD | 2 weeks into therapy experienced irregular heartbeats for extended periods..two to three hours at a time..very unnerving and scary..d/c'd the medication and symptoms disapeared. | F | 64 | 21 days | 3/30/2005 | 3 | nausea/delayed stomach emptying | constipation, headache, made me tired if I took 10 mgs, so I break them in half. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 3/31/2005 | 2 | infant taking for reflux | I thought this helped my daughter for about a month and then she seemed even worse. At 9 months, while on Reglan, she was still spitting up profusely at every meal and even 4 hours later. Once I found out about the side effects, I took her off and requested an alternative. | F | 24 | 6 days | 4/14/2005 | 1 | low intestinal motility | NEGATVE: Extreme sleepiness (along with weakness of major muscles). Extreme fatigue after moderate exertion. POSITIVE: counteracted dry mouth caused by daily doses of Ditropan LA. | M | 82 | 14 days | 5/25/2005 | 5 | migraine | slight drowsiness | For the last 5-6 migraines, I have taken Reglan along with Zomig. I have only had to take one dose of Zomig instead of the 2 or 3 doses I would take without Reglan. | F | 56 | 2 months | 6/2/2005 | 4 | heartburn | Extremely bothersome dry mouth | I found that it was effective. It was prescribed to help proper stomach emptying. | M | 50 | 6 days | 6/14/2005 | 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 | Apendix was taken out | Back spasums so bad that when I was standing my hands literally touched the floor behind me. It arched so bad that all I could do is cry. I was told if I was given it another time it would kill me. | F | 22 | 2 days | 8/24/2005 | 1 | Migraine/dizziness | Severe anxiety, parkinson like syndrome, depression and mental dullness. Absolutely a horrific experience!! | I went into the ER for head pressure and dizziness. The Dr. prescribed Reglan/Benadryl in an IV for me. Not only did it not work - but within 48 hours of leaving the ER - I was suffering from severe anxiety (I have never had a problem with anxiety in my life). Then I started having muscle tremors with my legs, feet, arms and neck. Additionally, my ability to walk and talk was greatly diminished. After several more days the anxiety disappeared and was replaced with mental dullness. It has been 2 months since I had Reglan and I have improved a lot - although I am still not at 100%. I would caution anyone who has been prescribed this product to seriously consider these life altering side effects and from what I now understand - they can sometimes be irreversible. | F | 37 | 1 days | 8/31/2005 | 2 | I puking all over my lap. | I can't stop vomiting. Oh it's soooo bad. Somehow I'm managing to type this. Blalallarhrhrrhha. I think I just crapped my pants. Does that count as a side effect? Blahdhhahhhhegghghg. | I feel stoned. | F | 4 | 40 years | 11/13/2005 | 3 | hyperemesis | Severe restlessness; depression; constipation | Helped very much with the stomach acid but the depression and restlessness were so severe I hade to stop taking it. | F | 29 | 2 weeks | 12/2/2005 |
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.
