| 5 | nausea with migraine | I haven't tried it yet....so I can't really say if I am satisfied with it. | F | 40 | | 6/29/2006 | 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 | | 3/30/2008 | 2 | gastroparesis | Anxiety | In place of reglan, two gastroenterologists recommended a drug called domperidone (Motilium), which can only be purchased outside the U.S. I get mine from Canada. Essentially, it works like reglan without the side effect of anxiety and I have not noticed any other side effects. I presently take two 10 mg pills at least 1/2 hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner and I believe it has helped me. There has been talk that it will eventually receive FDA approval but not as yet. There are some pharmacies in the US that have the compound for the drug and will sell it in capsule form. Where I live, in Florida, there are two such pharmacies that I am aware of. That's how I first tried it and have now been taking the Canadian pills for over 9 months. I believe it has helped but one must still eat small meals 5 or 6 times a day. My illness caused much nausea and upset stomach and with the small meals and the domperidone, it is reasonably under control although my gastro guy says that effects o | M | 68 | | 2/6/2007 | 1 | nausea from migraines | I had taken reglan on & off for the nausea from my migraines. I had been changed to compazine & had parkinson like symptoms from the compazine. The neurologist that Dx'ed the fact that the compazine was causing the parkinson symptoms told me that reglan can have the same symptoms since I had those symptoms from the compazine & told me never to take reglan since the chance was much greater that I would end up with that extreme side effect. | It worked for nausea at the time I used it, but not willing to take the chance since there are many new meds that work better without the side effects now....especially for cancer patients on chemo. | F | 46 | | 2/16/2007 | 1 | nausea; pancreatitis | A friend of mine was given this years ago for nausea caused by drug reactions, and wound up with tardive dyskinesia (uncontrollable movements of limbs.) More recently, he was given this drug again when he developed life-threatening nausea due to pancreatitis. THIS WAS IN SPITE OF CLEAR WARNINGS IN PHARMACEUTICAL TEXTBOOKS AGAINST RE-ADMINISTRATION OF THE DRUG. He developed muscle rigidity, dementia, high white blood cell count, weakness, heart problems and disorientation. He is only 56 years old, and now has the memory of someone with moderately advanced Alzheimer's. | THIS DRUG IS ACTUALLY AN ANTIPSYCHOTIC!!!IT CAN CAUSE TARDIVE DYSKINESIA, WHICH IS OFTEN PERMANENT. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME, WHICH CAN CAUSE PERMANENT MEMORY LOSS AND CAN BE FATAL! I am not sure how long he took this drug the first time; the second time he was only on it for a couple of days. | M | 56 | | 7/29/2007 | 1 | prescribed during chemo | tremors, loss of appetite, depression, fatigue, confusion, dizziness, yellowed eyes and skin, slow movements, mask-like facial appearance. | My 83 year old father was prescribed Reglan two years ago when he underwent chemo/radiation for lung cancer. He has been seen regularly by his oncologist, neurologist, and internist. In February, 2006, he suffered a stroke. He recovered from the stroke symptoms, but has been going downhill fast. I was shocked to read where this drug should not be taken over 12 weeks. My poor father has been taking this drug daily for over 2 years! He has experienced all of the mentioned side effects, but none of our doctors suggested stopping it until yesterday, August 15, 2006! If he would have stayed on it, I truly believe he would have died. Please pay attention and ask questions. Doctors are not God, although some think they are. | M | 83 | | 8/16/2006 | 1 | diabetic gastric stasis | The manufacturers of Reglan and its generic metoclopramide mention the link between the development of tardive dyskinesia and the drug on its labeling, however they suggest the incidence rarely occurs ... be aware that the FDA has approved Reglan for short-term use (4 to 12 weeks) only. | M | 29 | | 6/30/2006 | 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 | severe nausea | shaking, severe nervousness, suicidal thoughts, hallucination-like feelings, became really cold, felt as if i weren't all "there" and did not help my nausea at all | this is the worst medicine a doctor has ever prescribed me...DO NOT TAKE IT, it has serious side effects...no worth it! | F | 19 | | 10/9/2007 | 1 | Post Op Nausea | I've been given Reglan 3 times for post op nausea. Every time, I wanted to rip out my IV lines and jump out a window. It's the worst. I'd rather throw up - even if it means popping a stitch. | I tell docs I'm allergic to Reglan, otherwise, they don't believe the side effects and give it to me anyway. I had it prescribed this summer when I had the flu and was totally dehydrated. I wouldn't take it... | F | 46 | IV 1X D | 3/11/2010 | 1 | GERD | Reglan induced Parkinson (DIP), finger and muscle twitchs, rest tremor, more pronounced action tremor, lip tremor. | This is an update: I have been doing a lot of research and apparently many of the movement disorder symptoms or reglan can completely go away! This includes essential tremor and DIP (parkinsons). here are two links to research papers that verify this: http://archneur.highwire.org/cgi/content/abstract/39/8/494, http://archneur.highwire.org/cgi/content/abstract/39/8/494. For the people with TD, there's massive research going on, I'm going into the neurology fields as a result of this, do not give up hope. | M | 25 | 15 mg 1X W | 4/26/2010 History | 1 | acid reflux | inability to speak; stuttering when I regained speech; stuttering eventually went away; anxiety (remains a problem); fatigue and extreme tiredness (sleep unusually long and often); took this medication for several years and when I stopped taking it my symptoms disappeared; while on the medication I had nausea and dry heaves to the point of dehydration and subsequent hospitalisations; physician said I was dieing and had to hydrate and eat; physician indicated there might be some psychiatric connection; had extreme weight loss; weighed normally about 165 lbs....went down to 113 lbs.; now weigh consistently about 180 lbs.; the hospital admission that caused me to eliminate reglan was very critical in that I could not enunciate voice to the admitting physician and finally fell into a coma from which I was told I was not expected to recover | believe reglan is a very dangerous drug and should be removed from the formulary; I believe it can kill | M | 64 | 1X D | 9/24/2010 | 1 | gastroparesis | Depression, restlessness, suicidal thoughts, fears for sanity, panic attacks | I'm so glad I found this site and realized that it was the Reglan doing that to me! I've been off for a couple of days and I feel better now. There is hope! | F | 29 | 10mg 4X D | 12/11/2010 | 1 | stomach bile | NEVER, ever take this, unless you want severe panic attacks and severe depression and crazy depersonalization and suicidal thoughts. I quit taking this drug 7 months ago and still dealing with terrible side effects today. I'm afraid it has ruined my life. PLEASE dont take this medicine. | M | 29 | 10mg 1X D | 3/11/2012 History | 1 | GERD | M | 43 | 10MG 1X D | 5/5/2013 History | 1 | Nausea | Extreme restlessness, wanted to run of the hospital. | I was in hospital during lung surgery, and had severe nausea and vomitting, they gave me this drug through iv, and it was just terrible, I have never had such a terrible feeling before, I felt so restless, like I just wanted to jump of a cliff. Truly horrible times, and to this day I have slight feelings of restlessness, which I never had before. | F | 15 | 30 2X D | 5/20/2013 | 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 D | 12/3/2012 | 1 | Mom took it for stomach distress | depression, tremors, became almost paralyzed, couldn't communicate, death | Please take anything other than this drug. I'm convinced it led to my mothers death, although I have no direct proof. After she died I read all the reports connected to reglan and it was like reading her story. Eventually her organs shut down because she became bedfast and unable to eat. It's toxic! It was prescribed for several years off and on, mostly on. She would have other problems and be put in the hospital where she would be taken off it and improve, then they'd put her back on it again. I pray no one else goes through what she, and we did. | F | 76 | | 5/23/2007 | 1 | Miagraine | Panic attack, suicidal thoughts | DO NOT take this medicine. I was given Reglan IV for my miagraine in the ER. I immediatly became panic. I didn't know what to do with myself. I was given Benadryl to counteract the side effect. | F | 30 | | 12/26/2007 | 1 | reflux | After 4 months of taking the drug, I started feeling very, very depressed and overwelmed. Since I had been taking the drug for 4 months I didn't relate it to the drug until 7 months later. I stopped taking it and the feeling went away. | I would take it with caution and review the side effects before every refill to see if any have developed. I almost didn't initially take it because of the long list of side effects. | F | 48 | | 6/19/2008 | 1 | Difficulty swallowing | Tremors, confusion, feeling of having to keep moving, depression, anxiety, thought process out of control. | To prescribe this drug is criminal. It should be taken off the market. It not only destroys the patient 100% but destroys those that love the patient because they no longer have that person with them. Fatal results if you take this drug. | M | 64 | | 4/5/2009 | 1 | In IV for c-section | I am so very shocked that the medical community is not more informed about this drugs reactions on people. I first went into the hospital 4 years ago for a c-section, I was given Reglan in IV, I started getting very hot like I was on fire, turning very red, sweating. Everyone thought I was just nervous about the surgery. I started freaking out in my mind. I wanted to get out of that hospital and forget the surgery. I was truly flipping out and no one would believe me. After hours finally it wore off and I was totally myself. So time for second baby a few months ago and I warned the Dr of what happened last time, that it was something in my IV, please do not let it happen again.. well sure enough it happened again. I was telling the dr and the nurses and they just thought I was nervous again. I made my husband take my daughter out because I was flipping out again. Finally when on the operating table I told the anesthesiologist and he said, oh sounds like Reglan, I will give you | F | 35 | | 12/31/2009 | 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 | 1 | Nausea | EXTREME Anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, suicidal thoughts, homocidal thoughts, uncontrollable movement, extreme body weakness, extreme feeling of wanting to just "GO" | This is by far the worst drug EVER! It has the same affects as Compazene. I wouldnt with these side effects on the devil himself. I was in the hospital and the nurse gave me some Reglan via IV, immediately my heart started racing, I became really scared and paranoid. I felt like I just needed to "GO" like I just wanted to leave the hospital. I couldnt lay still, I was freezing yet swaeting all at once. I was having a panic attack. I never had one in my life nor have I ever ever had homicidal or suicidal thoughts but after reciving this drug I was just felt like shooting every one and then myself. I didnt want to be alive. I was having a major outer body experience. I told the nurse and she giggled a bit and gave me some Benedryl to counteract with the Reglan. Thank God for Benedryl because once she gave it to me I felt relieved and back to normal. Never will I take this drug again!!! | F | 22 | 1 times 1X AN | 9/7/2010 | 1 | CT scan | 5-10 minutes after being given Reglan via IV I began to feel incredibly anxious and paranoid. I experienced uncontrollable movements of my arms, legs and neck in addition to extreme and sudden agitation. Benedryl cured the worst of those symptoms but 5 days later my muscles tense uncontrollably, I'm tired and I have a seemingly endless migraine. | Even though I had been given this medication before in the ER I think that the allergic reaction may have been hidden by the symptoms that brought me to the ER in the first place. | F | 27 | 1 times 10-15mg 1X D | 3/6/2010 | 1 | Migraine | Tachycardia, anxiety, depression, an overwhelming need to move / to get out of the hospital. Lost ability to think clear. Lost all inhibitions. Demanded to be leave the ER but was refused. Felt need to tear off skin and rip brain out of skull. | Worst experience of my life. Less than a minute after being administered the drug by IV, I knew something was wrong. I thought I had been given the wrong medicine or an overdose. But it was the prescribed dose of the correct drug (Reglan). Avoid taking this drug if you possibly can -- it is HELL! | M | 22 | 1 times 10MG by IV 1X D | 3/7/2010 | 1 | nausea post myelogram | my story sounds like many others posted. given iv reglan WITH benadryl for nausea from post myelogram headache. within seconds felt a cold sensation, dizziness, like i couldn't breathe and my heart slowed, a panicy feeling needing to 'escape' from the er. i can't imagine the effect i would've had if i hadn't been given benadryl at the same time. a day later i have had another 'attack' and wonder if reglan is the cause. i immediately took benadryl and seem to be recovering. plan to take a fairly routine dose of benadryl for the next day or two. | strongly recommend refusing this drug | F | 44 | 1 times | 12/26/2009 | 1 | nausea/vomiting | Full blown unbearable restlessness and anxiety after IV reglan in the E.R. Now days later I am back to square one with anxiety and depression that was resolved 15 years ago. | Please, under no circumstances take this drug if you have a history of anxiety/depression. I was in no condition to research this drug at the time. Wish I had been warned. | M | 55 | 1 times | 3/19/2008 | 1 | migraine | Was given in ER--SHEER PANIC, followed by uncontrollable movements. Was given benadryl and ativan to counteract, then felt like my brains had been scrambled--still not feeling quite right. | Don't take this drug. The side effects are awful. It should not be on the market. | F | 40 | 1 times | 5/26/2007 | 1 | neausea after kidney stones | nervous, extreme anxiety, suicidal thoughts, depression, twitching, cant sit still, wanting to pull IV out of my own arm, tired but cant sleep. | I got 1 10mg dose of reglan in the ER beacuse I was neasues. I will NEVER EVER EVER take it again ! I felt like I wanted to kill myself. I had panic attacks, couldnt sit still, couldnt sleep, extreme iritable. I told the nurse "if you dont get in here and take this IV out, I'm ripping it out myself." and I was dead serious. I only took one dose, and 12 hours later I still feel the affects. pharmacist said they will be gone soon..thank god. DONT EVER EVER EVER USE THIS MEDICINE !! HORRIBLE. | F | 18 | 1 times | 2/13/2009 | 1 | Severe Stomach problems for months | Horrible twitching legs and arms uncontrollable!! So severe I called 911; Very anxious, dry mouth | I would NOT recommend this drug to anyone ever!!! Very scarry! I had only taken 2 doses of the medicine and had this severe side effects!!! | F | 44 | 2 times | 1/2/2007 | 1 | GERD/Bile reflux | nervousness, feeling of paranoia, hands tingling, dizziness, blurred vision, jittery/insomnia but very tired at the same time | I have been on PPIs for GERD for about a month. During this time, I've taken metoclopramide a few times and had terrible side effects (starting within hours of taking it). If I stop the metoclopramide, the symptoms go away after 1-2 days, so I believe there is something about the combination of the drugs that increases the side effects of the metoclopramide. I have taken metoclopramide on its own before and not had any side effects. Suffice it to say, that I will be throwing the metoclopramide in the trash and trying some other therapies (including homeopathy - honey/acv, digestive enzymes, etc) that seem to work better than even the PPIs | F | 33 | 3 times | 1/16/2009 | 1 | migraine | right after the nurse injected this in my iv, i just felt this lighheadness, and i just started freaking out feeling like i couldnt be comforted at all by anything: i demanded to go home over and over and over and over: the nurses rushed into the room and asked me if i was feeling like i was crawling out of my skin, i was crying and twitching so bad that i nodded yes and she ordered more benadryl to be injected in. I was supposed to have a ultrasound, but I demanded to stop treatment so i could recover at home from the reglan (this has happened before and the doctors didnt do anything about me twitching and having a anxiety attack!!!) I slept it off and I now cannot sleep due to the side effects. | dont ever take this. Its not worth it. The skin crawling experience occurs in about 1 out of every 1000 patients. It just was the most traumatic experience. | F | 20 | 4 times | 8/10/2009 | 1 | migraine | akathesia-felt like i was going to jump out of my skin. my heart raced and i kept wanting to rip at my skin! It was the worst feeling in the world. Felt like I was going psychotic. | "they" say this is rare but I have heard far to many of the same stories. Be careful-if you feel like this after taking reglan, ask for benedryl IMMEDIATELY!!! | F | 25 | 6 times | 6/2/2006 | 1 | nausea | Absolutely crippling anxiety, also a complete loss of interest in life. Profound depression. Terrifying thoughts. I have NEVER felt that bad in my entire life. | This drug made me suicidal.I am lucky to be alive because I didn't realize until it got that bad that these were side effects of the drug. Thank God for this website!!! Needless to say I stopped taking this poison immediately and the suicidal ideation went completely away by the next day. I am still quite jittery and anxious but its only been 2 days (and compared to two days ago I guess you could say I'm doing fantastic!)Scariest experience of my life. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING THIS DRUG!!! | F | 41 | 8 times 10 mg 3X D | 3/15/2011 | 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 | 9/26/2008 | 1 | Didn't take yet | I love this site so freakin much! I will not take this med now! I'm verrrry skepitical of meds as it is, and with crazy side effects like this I'm going to avoid this drug. | Thanks to everyone who shared their experience with this drug! May our savior Jesus Christ be with you and heal your bodies and minds. | M | 22 | 0 days 0 1X D | 10/23/2011 | 1 | For slow emptying of my stomach. | I was prescribe this drug by my GI doctor after many months of waiting for her to figure out what is wrong with me. Finally she came up with this. My stomach dosen't emptty as it should, I have suffered now for almost three years. I was given all the OTC drugs, but it just made me worse. I gained about 15 pounds and the pain just continued. I knew something was wrong with this drug and I am so thankful to look this up. One time in the ER I was given this med for nausea. It was the worse feeling I ever felt. I thought, I was going crazy. I couldn't even speak or think. Dont't take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's not worth it!!!!!!!!!! | I have Lupus as well and I deal with alot of problems. I am going to try colon hydrotherapy for my GI problems. It is so SAD how doctors prescribe such a dangerous drugs left and right, not caring that you already taking so many meds for other things. Thank you SO MUCH everyone this is the best place (website) to find out about meds. | F | 34 | 0 days | 11/22/2007 | 1 | Hiatal hernia, GERD | Burning and itching feet, severe muscle spasms, arm went to sleep, head and neck skin was crawling, difficulty swallowing. | 1st dose feet started itching within 30 mins. 2nd dose feet started itching, severe muscle spasms in neck and upper back, lasted about an hour. 23 hrs. later right arm felt like it was asleep. Next day difficulty swallowing and skin on head and neck crawling. Went to Urgent Care and they gave me Benadryl and I was able to swallow easily and they sent me home. Called dr. yesterday and today and she still hasn't called me back. | F | 49 | 0.5 days 5mg 4X D | 3/9/2011 | 5 | sever migraine | relief from migraine after four days with no response from triptans | M | 47 | 1 days 1X D | 6/7/2012 | 4 | severe migraine/nausea | virtually none, except some sedation, and discomfort at IV site. | I had never in my life had a migraine this severe. The Reglan IV with Toradol and Benadryl relieved the pain and vomiting in about 15 minutes. I am extremely grateful that this drug was available but after reading about TD and other potentially serious side effects and complications, I will hesitate to take it again. | F | 53 | 1 days 10mg IV 1X D | 1/6/2013 | 4 | Abdominal Pain/Dizziness (severe) | Tiredness, Dizziness/lightheadedness (possibly due to my 'unknown' underlying condition or other medication, I don't know for sure at this time) | Emergency Room Visit. Reglan, along with pepcid, and some fluids helped some. I was released that day. Unfortunately, once the effects wore off, my symptoms came back. | F | 38 | 1 days | 8/12/2007 | 3 | Migraine | I had an extreme anxiety attack within minutes after receiving 10mg of Reglan IV. I felt like a was going to stop breathing and could not stop crying and screaming for help. It stopped after 5 minutes when the IV Benadryl kicked in. I would recommend having Benadryl given and then Reglan instead of vice versa. After I recovered from the anxiety attack, my migraine did go away. My chest is still heavy and I still feel jittery. | F | 23 | 1 days | 9/2/2009 | 2 | Severe Migraines | Shakiness, extreme anxiety, sleeplessness, jitters, feeling out of my head, depression, thoughts of suicide, heart palpitations | Saturday morning, I was given two 10mg iv doses of Reglan (Maxeran) for having migraines for two weeks. It worked to get rid of the migraines but as soon as the second bag was done dripping, I felt like I needed to leave the hospital or I was going to jump out of my skin. I couldn't sit still at all and kept telling my boyfriend I had to leave. I was restless for the rest of the day but couldn't fall asleep. I cried a lot, felt awful emotionally and physically. Had dark, dark thoughts too of hurting myself, which is completely out of the norm for me. I slept maybe three hours total Saturday night and kept waking up. On Sunday morning I woke up with my heart rate at 148bpm and feeling extremely jittery and anxious. I had chest pains and pains in my left shoulder/arm. I went back to the ER and had an ecg, blood work up and chest xray. All of which were negative of course. The Doc ended up giving me Ativan to decrease the jitters, reduce my heart rate and help me sleep. I'm now two days out and still feel jittery, anxious and not myself. I feel like a zombie half the time but can't seem to sleep. Basically I have full withdrawal symptoms from ONE DOSE of 20mg of Reglan. DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG, it's not worth the side effects!!! | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/11/2010 | 2 | migraine | Extreme jumpiness. It is hard to describe but I felt like I had to get up and leave. Despite being in severe pain I felt like coming to the ER was a mistake. I felt like I had to go. I was very uneasy and it was impossible to get comfortable. | Reglan/Benadryl combo might work for a migraine but I will not take it again. | F | 22 | 1 days | 12/23/2008 | 2 | Migraine | Given it in IV in the ER with Benedryl. Throat burned feel. Jittery and dizzy 2 days later. Feels like my heart is beating out of my chest. Not feelIng like myself at all. | F | 52 | 1 days IV | 12/31/2011 | 2 | Pre-op to combat post-op nausea | Reglan was given IV prior to surgery; within a few minutes, I felt hot and then overwhelmed with panic, extreme anxiety, inability to control my breathing, and I wanted to run away. I was not sure how I could get through the procedure. That night, after the surgery, I was restless and could not sleep all night. I did not have nausea, however, so it was successful in that regard. | F | 43 | 1 days IV 1X O | 6/11/2010 | 1 | slow stomach emptying | I have only taken this drug once. I went to the hospital to get a gastric emptying study once, and when they found that my stomach emptying was slow, they gave me reglan. The side effects were instant. I got flushed, I felt nauseous, felt like I couldn't breathe. They stopped the test, gave me an oxygen tank, and by then my legs and arms were moving uncontrollably. My teeth were chattering and I thought that I was dying. I was so anxious and moving uncontrollably that I thought I would never get better. The side effects didn't get better until I went to sleep and woke up the next morning. | This drug is so dangerous. It can damage your central nervous system. It's not worth it. | F | 18 | 1 days 10 mg 1X D | 6/13/2010 | 1 | Nausea | Severe anxiety; depression; panic when i was first given the drug via IV in the ER...wanted to rip the IV out of my arm and crawl into a ball and sleep to feel normal again; immediate sense of feeling like I was in a fog and no longer in control of myself; Tachychardia (heart rate skyrocketed to the point where 1 minute after receiving the meds, I was surrounded by about 8 frantic doctors and nurses and hooked up to a bunch of different heart machines and monitors); Physical side effects I received from the drug caused them to admit me to the hospital so they could monitor me | This is hands down the worst medication I have ever taken. I was in the ER for a viral infection when they gave me this. Immediately upon receiving it in my IV, I knew something was wrong and nearly 6 weeks later, I am still struggling with depression, panic attacks, and anxiety. For the first few weeks, I literally thought I was going crazy & losing my mind and thought I would never recover. Since then, the feelings of "craziness" and being completely out of control of my own mind & body have worn off, but I am still extremely depressed and anxious. I have been too anxious to be in public/with people so I have been fairly isolated and spend much of my time crying and wishing I could go back and insist they didn't give this med. to me. Nothing gives me joy anymore and I feel totally hopeless, but I also know that things will get better. I just hope it is sooner rather than later. This drug NEEDS to be taken off the market. The side effects in no way outweigh the benefits. Actually, this didn't even seem to help my nausea-still felt sick and was unable to eat for weeks. Either way, I would have rather dealt with the physical effects of why I was in the hospital in the first place than be poisoned by reglan and deal with the long-term side effects. | F | 24 | 1 days 1X D | 5/9/2010 | 1 | prevent nausea before surgery | This was by far the scariest drug I have ever taken! I was given this drug before my hernia surgery to prevent nausea and I immediately started having a panic attack and my entire body started to feel incredibly weak. I let my nurse know and she said that what I was feeling was a normal side effect. It got to the point where I wanted to start crying and just forget about the surgery. | I have never felt this way before and I definitely think this DRUG needs to be taken off the market! | F | 27 | 1 days 10 1X D | 6/27/2010 | 1 | migraine | extreme anxiety, needed to leave, wanted to pull iv out of my arm, tried to lay back & sleep but couldn't because i felt like i couldn't breathe. i just wanted to leave the hospital & get it out of my arm. | nurse told me there weren't any side effects she heard of, except one girls legs felt restless. i look at this and it looks like everybody else felt the same way i did. i would never take this again. | F | 17 | 1 days 1X D | 7/20/2010 | 1 | Nausea | Had nausea after a colon resection and was given one dose of Regalan just before leaving hospital. For almost one week I had Diarrhea hourly (that's HOURLY !). Needless to say, lack of sleep made clear thinking impossible. Began to wonder about "packing it in". | A home-made antidote returned everything to normal overnight ! The antidote was a combination of 1 TBS vinegar....1/2 tsp Metamucial and half-glass of water. Sounds like mumbo-jumbo but, it saved my life. | M | 86 | 1 days 1X D | 7/28/2010 | 1 | to prevent vomiting | anxiety, crying, felt like I was jumping out of my skin, horrible meltdown w/in several minutes of being given the Reglan via IV. | An anesthesiologist gave me Reglan to prevent possible vomiting during a colonoscopy. I immeidately melted down and she gave me something else to knock me out...it's 3 days later and I'm still anxious, not feeling myself, trouble sleeping, trouble focusing, very tired. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. I pray these effects will wear off. | F | 54 | 1 days Don't know 1X D | 2/13/2010 | 1 | Gastroparesis | anxiety, disconnected feeling, blurred vision, can't sit still, general odd feeling | only took it one day and felt like that..took the liquid form | M | 37 | 1 days | 1/30/2010 | 1 | Surgery pre-op | EXTREME RESTLESSNESS, anxiety, hopelessness, urge to run and sleep at the same time, jaw tightness, constant pacing despite knee surgery, all lasted 2 weeks despite one dose of med | I work with a neurologist & we have SO MANY patients who have been damaged by this drug-some permanently. It is often given before or during surgery without the horrible side effects being explained to the unsuspecting patient. Call FDA & demand it to be taken off market. If it has hurt you, SUE! | F | 60 | 1 days 10 mg IV 1X O | 3/25/2010 | 1 | nausea | Was given this in a hospital ER by IV to counteract nausea from Dilaudid. the Reglan gave me a horrible panic attack. my whole body was shaking, teeth chattering, feet knocking together, moaning. it was one of the worst experiences of my life. they had to give me Ativan in the IV to stop the panic but I was still shaky even the next day. this despite the fact that I was given Benedryl in the IV to counteract this effect. | if you are ever asked what drugs you are allergic to, include Reglan on the list. you don't want to be given this evil stuff ever. NOTE: don't believe that Benedryl will counteract Reglan's side effects. it doesn't work. | M | 49 | 1 days 1X D | 4/9/2010 | 1 | migraine | I went to the emergency room for a migraine. I was throwing up and was in very much pain. They gave me reglan and bendryl in an IV. Within seconds I began to panic, felt i was going crazy and even thought I was dying. I was given ativan to calm down and also morphine because the reglan didn't help the migraine. I have twitched after this experience ( which was around 2003) every day. My eye lids twitch, my legs, arms, EVERYWHERE! It is irritating more than anything. I had NO idea that Reglan caused this until I read there was a lawsuit out for this drug for causing involuntary muscle twitches. | Do not take this drug for migraines. It isn't worth the side effects and it didn't even help the pain. | F | 49 | 1 days ? 1X D | 6/8/2010 | 1 | Nausia | Leg Tremors, Eye Twiches, Stomach knots, Severe Depression, and the worst Anxiety Imaginable. | I wrote about this back in 2007 now it is 2010 and Im still suffering from the side effects of this med. I had been given it at five months pregnant in a hospital in NJ and had a severe reaction, then the same idiot hospital gave it to me again after I had my infant and ruined the time I had spent bonding with that child. Now the tremors and anxiety I experience I wonder if its due to that med since it began after taking that. I would love to sue that hospital especially since they gave it to me AGAIN after the first reaction. Really made me mad. Not sure if statute of limitations has run out, please someone let me know, I really want to put a stop to hospitals using this with Iv 's and such. | M | 42 | 1 days 1X D | 9/1/2010 | 1 | Severe Migrains | Depression, Extreme Anxiety, Thoughts of Suicide, Cant stop pacing, Nervousness, Panic Attacks, Trembling DONT EVER TAKE THIS MEDIATION EVERRRRRR. | Went into the ER for a headache, they gave me a dose of Reglan, a couple of minutes later i started to cry, i wanted to leave the hospital, i wanted to rip the iv out of my arm. The doctor told me i was having a side effect. They gave me Benadryl it stoped a little, but now i am having the worst anxiety and panic attacks, i never had this before and i dont know what to do or how to stop it.

A black box is not enough..get it off the market! | F | 23 | 1 days in IV 1X D | 10/2/2010 |
