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  acid reflux I only took one tablet before bedtime not the four times a day as instructed for acid reflUx. I was prescribed this drug and not warned or told of any side effects. I was on it for a year and a half, much longer than the recommended months. I now have extrapyramidal syndrome. This developed as soon as I stopped taking reglan. Reglan masks its damage, you don't know until its done its damage. F 48 1 years

 1  Pre-op medication i got the reglan IV push and as soon as it hit my bloodstream, I immediately had a feeling of impending doom. I became anxious and couldn't sit still. Literally was climbing the walls and trying to get out of the hospital. My legs felt restless and I couldn't stop moving them. My mom was with me and she got real nervous. Finally I was able to talk and said, "get the doctor". I'm an RN and I had no clue this was a side effect. Scared me so bad that the Anestheiologist had to come give me a sedative. I feel this medication should have a black box warning and should be reevaluated for use of so many different diagnosis. M 22 1 days

 1  GERD Needs to be taken off market. This drug is dangerous! My mother was given Reglan post hiatal hernia surgery. About 2 weeks after the surgery she was taken to ER with stroke like symptoms. The doctors did not consider drug reaction therefore she was sent back home only to be back in ER one week later with dizziness/weakness after stopping Reglan (the day before). She wants to sleep 24/7 and is shaky, dizzy, has blank stare, has severe neck pain, etc. Doctors gave run tons of tests and everything is fine so they now believe we have to wait for this drug to be out of her system and pray there are no permanent issues.

 1  gastro digestive issues Extreme panic, thrashing, insomnia, facial twitching, depression, frequent urination, racing heart, sweats, hyperactive, suicidal thoughts, much more. Got a stomach issue (virus of some kind) that caused my stomach to slow emptying. Doctor prescribed it saying it's the only thing that can help, so I took one before bed about 9pm. Let me stress it was just ONE PILL. It caused me a night from hell with no sleep till 6am. All night panic, stress, jumping, thrashing with suicidal thoughts. Never in my life would I have thought it would work it's "magic" that fast. I knew what I was getting into before taking it, and I was desprate. Told the doctor and he had me instantly stop it. A few days later (today) he suggested I take a HALF a dose 2x a day and try that. I just agreed I would, but i'm terrified and highly doubt I will. Taking half is like saying, "If you have a hard time fighting Mike Tyson, we'll tie one of his hands behind his back." You're still going to get your *** kicked either way. M 41 1 days

 1  Stomach issues I can't believe what this medicine has done to me!!! My Gastrointestinal Dr. put me on it for a slow stomach and I trusted him and stayed on it for 5 months.!!!! Worst mistake I ever made. Started having small periods of depression,anxiety, and sleeplessness. Talked to PMC Doctor about it and he said quit taking it. I wish that would have put and end to these horrible side affects. And my doctor doesn't believe the Reglan/Metoclopramide caused them. I wound up going to the ER because the anxiety and panic attacks were so bad and was given .5mg clonazapam(30 of them) that I was supposed to take 2x per day and was told to see my Doctor in 3 to 4 days. Went and saw my PMC,told him what happened,and asked if he would give me a refill on the anti-anxiety meds. when I started to run out and he said no,take 1 a day, come back in 30 days and he would give me a prescription for xanex-.5mg that I could take 1 per day. I'm feeling very hopeless and afraid. I have seen a Clinical Psychologist onc F 63 5 months

 1  nausea As soon as injected I began sitting up in the hospital bed pulling on my i.v. there was no relief. I felt anxious beyond anything I've experienced. I couldn't relax or even speak. Now I know what it feels like to have no control. I was in hell. The doctor gave me benadryl and adavan which gave me some relief. It has been 24 hours and I'm still a bit twitchy. Please don't use even one time is too much. No matter how bad your nausea or pain, there must be something better. F 37 1 days

 1  Migraine Short term memory loss, tics/tremors, gait problems, speech, depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, concentration, processing and understanding what people have to say to me. I was given this evil drug in the ER for a migraine. I think this drug should be taken off the market. If you want your like to be taken away then take this drug. I am 9 months post injection and still have not gotten better. The only thing that has improved is my speech. There are times when I am not able to pronounce a word and I freeze up. F 35 1 days
