I had been on it so long I figured if that was going to happen it would have by now!! Boy was I wrong- It scared me to pieces- I do have depression and anxiety and panic attaxks and they have gotten worse over the years I have taken Reglan but never put two and two together!! It is possible all this has been side effects of the Reglan!!!- Do not take this drug longer than 12 weeks... I mean who do I sue? the drug manufacturer SAYS not to take it longer than 12 weeks yet drs all over are still prescribing it long term knowing the side effects!!! I dont want to sue my GI doc because he is great but I stopped the Reglan today- hoping to manage my GERD with just the nexium ( or something else if I am getting osteoporosis,.)... | F | 41 | 8 years 10 mg 4X day | 12/12/2011 | 1 | Acid Reflux, Nausea | Age 8-11 no side effects noted. Age 12-14 depression, suicidal thoughts/attempt, extreme mood swings. Age 17:Dystonic reaction, Tardive dyskinesia, grandmal convultions, abnormal twisting of the body, loss of ability to walk | This drug nearly caused my death when I was 17. I had a very rare but possible reaction to the drug that left me in the hospital for a month with convultions. I was released with lots of ativan and valium to keep me sedated, and psychotherapy ensued after my release. I kept having involuntary movements and anxiety attacks up to three months after the removal of the medication, by which time I began fasting and praying for a miraculous healing. I was healed by God that's for sure, the doctors gave me no hope of ever getting better and psychologically I was a mess as a side effect from the medication. I'm now a fully functional and happy full time college student and full time worker. Thank God! | F | 21 | 6 years | 1/18/2008 | 1 | Migraine | I started taking this 6 years ago!!! Total bs I am shaking non stop my body in my core area locks up and I can't move. Had an MRI's mra for my brain aneurysms the day before yesterday. I stopped taking this a week ago and the symptoms are awful I'm very weepy depressed I can't drive! I can barely get anything done not to mention 24/7 migraines. Anyone else been in this that long? | Do not take!!! Do not Take!!!!!!! | F | 47 | 6 years 1 as neede | 2/12/2016 | 5 | Irritable bowel syndrome | I had no side effects | F | 54 | 5 years | 9/21/2009 | 4 | gastroparesis and nausea | Elevated prolactin level. A little fatigue but it does help my nausea. I realize that most people go to these sites only when they've had a problem. You could really scare yourself reading these discriptions. I have a reaction to just about all meds and I tolorated this one OK. It is not a drug I would take frequenty because it does have a bad side effect profile but once in a while it is ok. | F | 40 | 5 years 5mg 1X AN | 1/6/2011 | 4 | gastroparesis | None. | I am on chemotherapy(TAXOL) and it seems to have worsened my gastroparesis(slow emptying of my stomach.) Taking Reglan speeds up the emptying of my stomach and really helps indigestion and 'too full feeling'. | F | 67 | 5 years | 2/21/2007 | 1 | GERD | My son was an infant( 8mo)when prescribed by his doctors in 2006I was not told by anyone the side effects that this drug have....my son started complaining that his stomach was hurting in 2010 (due to speech delay)when I would give him the medicine... So I started to research this drug myself and to learn about the severe side affects and I immediately stopped giving him this medication.(once I discovered in 2011).At this time he was 5yrs & 8 months old. This has change our life for ever. I am up set that the doctors continued to prescribe this drug to us.... After the things that I seeing with my child I questioned the doctors about why we were prescribed this and they're saying that their office would have never prescribe this drug to any one....this just comfirms that there is definitely something to hide and cover.....my son has tremors, bulking and blinking on eyes, constant movements, he had started wetting himself as he was never toilet trained(since 18 month old) he was n | My son was an infant( 8mo)when prescribed by his doctors in 2006I was not told by anyone the side effects that this drug have....my son started complaining that his stomach was hurting in 2010 (due to speech delay)when I would give him the medicine...

Such as an ice cream cone or a paper plate. I'm so up set disappointed about this it is like a constant fight with doctors trying to down play my son condition. Doctors wants to diagnose T.S. | F | 36 | 5 years 5mg..2.4ml 4X day | 8/17/2012 | 1 | had gastro,bypass serious nausa | sweats,anxiety,could not pass anything pass my mouth down my throat,these symptoms on the 5th degree, how do i come wean off?never want to go through this again,HELP | F | 52 | 5 years 30mg | 6/4/2014 | 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 | 5 | gastroparesis | I had headaches and such at first - but i have been taking this medication for 3 years - 1 5mg tab 3x per day. It has helped me tremendously. I tried to quit it because all this controversy scared me, and believe me - it's painful. Then i thought to myself maybe everyone else is having side effects but at this point i am not, and why would i stop something that works really well. Im sorry that everyone else has had bad experiences but i have not. | F | 54 | 3 years | 6/30/2009 | 4 | Gastroparesis | Hand Tremors, Body Twitching | I take it PRN, not unless the nausea & vomiting or stomach pain is bad, but it works and does it's job. | F | 34 | 3 years | 3/30/2017 | 1 | my sister stomach seem to hurt all the time and she did want to eat and sleep all the time | the doctor should know that this medicine would do this people if the fda black box it. | F | 29 | 3 years | 7/16/2009 | 1 | nausea gastroparesis | Depression, severe skin agitation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. Ended up in a psych unit for 3 weeks where I was simply put on a anti-depessant which did nothing for me except make me foggy. Found out about the gruesome side effects of Reglan at this web site. | Was on 5mg/meal for 3 years, had gall bladder removed in hopes of solving problem. When that didn't work was put on a dose of 10/mg/meal. That's when the severe side effects exploded on the scene. Nothing ever did solve my nausea problem. Stopped using Splenda helped. Will never use Reglan again, it made my life hell. | M | 64 | 3 years | 5/30/2008 | 1 | GERD | Began a few years ago with breast tenderness and swelling (male) and then trouble holding a pen, insomia, weight loss and then progress to full blown panic attack, feeling like losing mind | my husband has been on Reglan for over three years, side effects at first were breast swelling and tenderness, which seemed odd for a man but dr. didn't link to side effects of this horrible drug. The past 2 months he has been nervous and depressed, a major shift in his usually calm happy personality. Over July 4 weekend he had a major panic attack, so strange and scary. I called his gi to inquire about his prevacid changing to a generic and he said to immediately stop the Reglan that this was a side effect. He is so much better just being off it for 1 week! Are there any natural or homeopathic methods to help the healing process from the drug? Will the panic attacks come back? I am praying for all the people affected by this drug. | M | 47 | 3 years 2X day | 7/14/2011 | 1 | GERD /Gastroparesis | It started like parkinson like shaking a little at a time in January 2009 then one day it was so bad I shook all over I felt as though I would shake out of my skin my eyes felt like they were going to pop out and my eyes started blinking rapidly then started spasming then the legs would not stop moving then the tremors started at night as well and would wake me up. My doctor pulled me off of it and I thought it would go away . I was wrong. It has been over 2 yrs since I have been off of it and now I am seeing a neurologist. | It was a life saver because I could eat and be okay, but the longer I stayed on it I started noticing subtle symptoms , then they came to a head and I got worse. Now, I am living with the side effects. It's crazy because it worked so well for the belly now I am ruined for life,embarrased to leave my house or be in public, harder to work with my hands at work because I am dropping things, and my eyes close shut somtimes, I draw blood for a living. What will I do ?? | F | 47 | 3 years 10 4X day | 7/2/2011 | 1 | for treatment of GERD | When my gastro doctor found out I had been taking Reglan for three or more years, he IMMEDIATELY took me off of it. I had the residual side-effect of tardive kinesia (sp?). the "tics" are horrible. | From doing research on the web, I have discovered that this side-effect is a permanent problem. Never, ever take this drug!!!!!!! | F | 63 | 3 years 30 4X day | 4/21/2010 |
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.
