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.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  GERD Reduced anxiety, improved thinking and functioning, an overall feeling of calmness, exhaustion This medication is without doubt one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

 5  GERD/Barretts Esophagus None I have suffered from severe reflux for over 20 years. Years ago I took another drug similar to Reglan (propulsid) that worked wonderfully well, but it was taken off the market due to complications with heart attacks. My doctor put me on reglan three weeks ago for a 4 week trial to see if it helped. In that time I have only had one episode of reflux and, to be honest, I probably deserved it since I ate very, very spicy food just to see if the reglan would work in extreme situations. Note that even though I refluxed, it wasn't as severe as it usually was. Overall, I would say reglan has worked extremely well for me. My doctor explained in great detail the potential risks and I decided to try it rather than have surgery since I'm all about less invasive procedures when possible. I'm sorry to hear about everyone else who has problems with it. For me it's great so far, although I haven't been on it that long. I'm supposed to take 10 mg before each meal and at bedtime, but I don't eat breakf M 56 21 days

 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

 5  Nausea from migraines None I don't take much - 10 mg at early onset of migraine. No orblems at all with a low dose M 54

 5  TEMPORARY relief from drug overdose after being hospitalized for drug overdose and dehydration, this was given to me for nauseau and it was wonderful, worked great and allowed me to sleep. The negative reviews on reglan, are for people who take it regularly, which is not recommended. But for occasional relief from temporary sickness, this was a great pain reliever, sleep inducer.

 4  Gastroparesis Constipation, sore legs, feet "glued to the floor". Compared to how I felt before taking this med, I thought this med was great. Doc would only let me stay on for a month though to see how well it worked. I was scared I would get TD but did not happen. Worst was withdrawl. Restless, Anxious, Insomnia, "buzzing" in my shoulders, lasted 2 days Reglan scrip was replaced by Domperidone scrip. Drug is only available from Canadian Pharmacy. Supposed to have all the good effects of Reglan but none of the bad. We'll see. Only been taking for 5 days and suffered through Reglan withdrawl for 2 of them. M 50 36 days

 4  Nausea (Food Poisoning) Tiredness/Drowsiness Well done. I am allergic to Compazine so I take Reglan instead. Frankly I think the 1 ratings are all from one or two people repeating themselves. M 29 20 times

 4  GERD mild drowsiness, and tiredness for the first few days. I found Reglan to work very well for GERD and associated symptoms of bloating and nausea. The drowsiness went away after several days of taking the drug. Reglan should not be used continously for longer than 12 weeks, due to the risk of tardive dyskinesia. I am surprised by so many negative comments about this drug. I have found Reglan to be helpful, with little side effects. M 62 60 days

 3  Gastiopersis Nothing yet. But I've been so deathly I'll from GP I had no choice. I'm only on it 1 more week out of 3. Has there ever been any good come from it. Any positive feed backs? Seems insomnia is all so far and a little twitch above right elbow. I was told my GP was caused by my long term marijuana use. I also lost like 30 pounds in 45 days and tried all meds and nothing worked. Does it ever fix anyone's GP? I've started putting the weight back on now. 850-376-2480. I'll listen to any doctor in here. This is my personal cell and would like to talk to GP patients. I'm just scared if I don't take it ill die for I was not able to hold anything down for a month. The doc said if this works I'll know in 24 hours. That was 10 Days ago and I take the med till jan 1st. Please email me or call me. M 46 9 days
3x daily

 3  GERD breakthrough It seems to be causing night-time restlessness and I can hear my vascular system thumping away, so it must be causing some anxiety. Nothing as bad as these others indicate, however. Reading these others' comments convinces me it is the Reglan causing these symptoms and not some other cause. It does help with the severe "breakthrough" I was experiencing due to a hiatal hernia. It moves one's food from the stomach more rapidly, and it was explained to me that the food "lingering" in the stomach causes a lot of the acid reflux/breakthrough. I was taking Reglan in addition to Nexium and/or Zegred. M 54 3 weeks

 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

 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

 3  Gastroparesis Depression, anxiety, diarrhea Drug has really helped the bloating and nausea associated with the condition. I'm ONLY taking 10mg once a day. Unfortunately, soon after beginning Reglan I experienced heightened bouts of depression alternating with anxiety. I attributed it to other things in my life. Then the uncontrolable episodes of diarrhea began. Symptoms continue to persist during the five months on Reglan. It has made me virtually housebound. I traced the onset of symptoms to the start of the Reglan. Having begun research today, I stumbled upon this site and was amazed and enlightened. Why did an Endocrinologist, Cardiologist and Internist all not offer a warning to this med. Reglan definitley helped my gastroparisis, but I can't handle the side effects and will begin weaning off today. Thank you to every one for your comments and warnings. M 53 5 months
