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)

 1  Migraine Headache This medicine has horrible side effects. I've had blurry vision, suicidal thoughts, irregular heart beats, stiff muscles, nervousness, fever. I thought I was getting a pain medication in the ER but instead I received reglan by iv and the side effects are horrible and they linger. Please do not take this medicine however if you do you will Ativan to calm things down. Although its been three months the side effects from this drug is still lingering and I heard they can last for 10 months or longer. This is a horrible drug and you still get headaches, so this drug is pointless. F 40 1 days

 1  Nausea I wasn't able to eat for days because I was pregnant and experiencing a lot of morning sickness. So they gave me Reglan in my IV along with fluids within only a few minutes I couldn't sit still had extreme anxiety and wanted to have a panic attack it was given with Benadryl but I was almost positive it wasn't a Benadryl because this is happened before now I know that I can't take any type of anti nausea medicine through an IV because it does the same thing. I made the ER take the IV out and I had to leave against doctor's permission I couldn't sit there it was horrible, never again. F 29 1 days

 1  Pre-op nausea prevention. I was giving Reglan in an IV for pre-op nausea prevention. Moments after it was given to me in the IV I started having a feeling of anxiety burning in my arm and uncontrollable shivering and chills. They had to put multiple blankets on me. Then I was given Versed and knocked out for surgery. In the recovery room I was given Reglan in IV again and the same thing happened with the uncontrolled shivering and extreme cold feeling. Shivering was so bad my whole body was tightening up and shaking. They then gave me Benadryl in the IV and put more blankets on me. I have no idea this medication can do that. I'm also allergic to Compazine. I will never let them put this medication in my body ever again. F 50 1 days

 1  Preventative nausea/reflux I was given reglan as a nausea preventative during laproscopic surgery. I woke up feeling horrible and sore. They said I had a dystonic reaction which they fixed with benadryl. Uncontrolled jerky muscle movements. It must have been horrible because my right shoulder/neck and side are killing me. Feels like the muscles are way too tight or something. Can't seem to get it to lessen even after massaging the painful spots. It's only been 2 days. I hope I don't end up with lingering side effects like others have. Not worth it. F 35 1 days

 1  Migraine Treated at hospital for migraine. The cocktail of drugs included reglan and caused anxiousness to point I had to walk around in hospital room. This just compounded the migraine since I was unable to relax. This is the second time it's happened to me. I have had multiple treatments for migraines to include reglan but seems I'm now developing a reaction to the drug. I will not be taking it anymore. F 45 1 days

 1  C-Diff It has been decades since I was placed on Reglan. I started having involuntary jerking of my hands and jaw movements. I had suffered depression before but never like this depression. My pulmonary doctor told me reglan could cause the jerking and after I stopped it, it did cease. The depression however held on for over three months. I hope those who are experiencing this depression will take hope that it will not last forever and if they can endure it without other psychotic medications to hang in there. I found benadryl at night helped. One day I woke up and I was ME again. However, years later I will have short episodes of depression hit. I have learned to recognize it and just breath and wait for it to pass. In times of stress, my jerks come back, too. If you are depressed from this talk to those around you to make certain you don't harm yourself. Knowing what I know today, I would have tried using L-Tyrosine. I would urge those who have negative effects report it. F 67 2 months

 1  Nausea in hospital Severe anxiety/panic/terror, severe depression, delirium, muscle spasms, twitching muscles, sore arms/legs/!back and shoulders, weakness, jaw clenching, toes twitching, hysterical crying, inability to concentrate, fear, inability of being alone, disassociation from my child, insomnia and inability to stay asleep etc Do not take this medication. I went to the ER for nausea and the dr gave me this via IV. I reacted to the first dose and they ignored me and gave me 2 more- too close together and I went into a delirium. Following that was severe gut wrenching depression and anxiety- both of which I never had before! That was 2 months ago and I have been suffering ever since. I have symptoms going on. I'm unsure of how long this is going to take but I am trying to fight for my life- as crazy as that sounds- this drug will destroy a perfectly normal life and person. I have never had mental issues before and I have had to see a psych. They prescribe meds but I won't take any. I am trying to heal on my own. However the physical stuff scares me- I am praying to God my exposure does not cause Tardive Dyskenisia. I notice I clench my jaw a lot and my neck/mouth hurts. I feel like Im holding my tongue weird and it's freaking me out. I'm seeing a neurologist soon to try and find answers. This has been a complete nightmare and I can't believe I've gone through this from a medication. I wouldn't believe it was true if it didn't happen to me- a perfectly normal functioning person turned into a basket case. This drug will put you through immense torture both mentally and physically. Please do your research and do not take this medication. I regret that day more than anything!!!!! F 32 1 days
