| 1 | Mis diagnosis of gastric paresis | DO NOT take this medicine. It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE! It will take a normal person with no health issues to a panic suicidal depression and anxiety driven mental person! The review above is exactly what happend to my son. It's heartbreaking how much it will change a person for the worst. My son took it for one month and has never been the same. This medicine should be banned!! | M | 21 | 1 months 10mg | 2/25/2015 | 1 | Misdiagnosed atypical migraines | PLEASE read my review for Reglan on this site: http://www.inspire.com/groups/agmd-gi-motility/discussion/suffering-after-reglan/ Copy and paste this link. You need to read it! It is too long for this website. | I am writing this to help people. When I first received Reglan I read these reviews over and over again, crying in complete desperation for one with a positive ending. This is one of those, although the beginning is not pretty. I went to the ER for stroke-like symptoms on January 15th, 2015 including a small headache. Continue at link above! Be strong. | F | 23 | 1 days 1 dose | 2/18/2015 | 1 | Migraine Headache | Anxiety. twitchy, fear, dread, restlessness, uneasy, terrible | I have been given this in a "Migraine Cocktail" at my hospital before usually in an IV with Benadryl at the same time and I have felt these symptoms much milder. Although I was never quite sure which medication it was. Yesterday, I was in for something else and had to get everything orally and they had to send for the Reglan separately. It came about two hours later. I took it orally. About 30-45 minutes later I could feel the Anxiety. twitchy, fear, dread, restlessness, uneasy, terribleness like I had bugs crawling around inside me. I have had that once before with Compazine and I have never taken that again. I will never take this Drug again and will make sure it is noted in my chart that I have adverse reactions to it. I will never recommend this and if I can find another place to lodge a complaint I will. | F | 41 | 1 days 10 MG 1X day | 2/13/2015 | 1 | migrane | Extreme anxiety teeth chatteting whole body shaking | F | 38 | 1 days 10 mg | 2/5/2015 | 1 | Headaches | It felt like I was going to die ! Anxiety, Depression,Dizziness,It felt as if I had bugs crawling all over me. WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. | As soon as they gave it in my IV the side affects started. It has been over 2 months and I still am not right, Now I have joint pain all over my body and Anxiety and depression. THIS DRUG RUINED MY LIFE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED ON ANYONE !!! | F | 40 | 1X day | 1/12/2015 | 1 | morning sickness/nausea | Panic, Irrational Fear, extreme anxiety, depression, fatigue, tremors | A min or so after the drug was inserted into my IV at the ER I panicked and started feeling trapped and very fearful. I started yelling for a nurse, I didn't want to be alone, I didn't want to be anywhere. It was only that day and almost a month later I feel anxiety that can only be described as the feeling I had that terrible day. I am now 16 weeks pregnant and I fear it may have had an effect on my baby. Do not take this if pregnant... Dumb doctors don't know what they prescribe. I mean really..what is this stuff!? | F | 24 | 1 days unknown | 1/11/2015 | 1 | nausa | Made me feel jumpy& out of my mind! don't take this drug! it was introduced to me thru IV in emergency room. Nurse gave it to me & left room. 2 min. later i didn't like effects& i was still sick too. | F | 56 | 1 days | 12/15/2014 | 1 | Lactation | WORST.DRUG.EVER! I had restlessness, insomnia, blurred vision, drowsiness, exhaustion, cottonmouth, headache, pain in my jaw, trouble sleeping, and increase in sweating. | F | 30 | 2 days | 11/23/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Agitation, dread, fear, horrible panic ... I wanted to rip out IV and leave urgent care right away. I didn't even care if my headache wasn't gone. I was given benadryl which immediately took the edge off but I felt uncomfortable and anxious for the next 24 hours. I never want to feel like that again. It was horrible!. I will definitely add it to my list of drug allergies. | F | 40 | 1 days IV 1X day | 10/22/2014 | 1 | Sleeve surgery | hallucinations, anxiety and insomnia. I was perfect sleeper before I started taking this and now well I hope to go back to my sleep pattern! | F | 27 | 2 weeks 10 | 9/29/2014 | 1 | migraines | Shakey, jumpy, nervous, jittery, scared | F | 17 | 2 times | 9/26/2014 | 1 | Nausea | Anxiety, depression, jitters, diarrhea, drowsiness, lack of concentration, fatigue. | I was given this drug after a stomach bug where I continued to experience nausea. The doctor did not tell me of any side effects, yet at my age I am at higher risk of experiencing them. My grades slipped at uni and I stopped taking it after 6 tablets, I saw another doctor who thought the idea to prescribe this to me was wrong, but it was too late then. It took about a week for the anxiety and other side effects to disappear, I wish I never took it. I'm just so glad I'm feeling better, I've never experienced anxiety like this in my life it was the scariest time of my life. Would not recommend unless absolutely necessary. I know side effects only affect some people, but these side effects made me feel like I was going insane, only 1 week later do I feel happy, and back to myself. Never again!!! | M | 18 | 10 1X day | 9/13/2014 | 1 | Gastroparesis | For several months I've had a ache in my chest, gurgles in my throat and a slight sick feeling when eating. The doctor's diagnosis of a gastric motility problem made sense. He prescribed Metoclopramide (aka Reglan). I was feeling a bit depressed prior to taking them. After the first two pills (the first day) I was feeling a bit delirious. By the evening I was wishing I could just quietly die. After day two (another 2 pills) I was suffering severe mental anguish and feeling very tearful; I couldn't face going to work. I don't take any medicine normally, even painkillers, don't smoke or use recreational drugs. I drank a small amount of wine (100-200ml) both days, 4 or 5 hours after taking the pills (which I read may amplify side effects, so may be a bad plan). I didn't feel any benefits at all (interestingly, I got hiccoughs for ten minutes at lunch during day 2 - I used to get hiccoughs whenever I ate a big meal when this whole problem started), but I probably didn't give the pills a long enough time to work, though they seem to have worked on my brain! 3 days after stopping I'm back to the mild depression I had before taking the pills. And there's MAYBE a slight reduction in gatroparesis after I've stopped too? | M | 43 | 2 days 10 2X day | 9/11/2014 Patient History | 1 | increase milk supply | restlessness, crushing sadness, extreme crying spells, very sad thoughts | Was prescribed this med in the hospital after giving birth. Was told it was Motilium (maybe it was) but at any rate the prescription I was sent home with wasn't Motilium but Metoclopramide. Both increase milk production, etc. Shortly after returning home a midwife friend of mine told me not to take it because it was an antipsychotic and to try some natural things instead, etc so I did but still took some off and on (mostly because I'm terrible at remembering to take pills) for next month or so. |I had pretty bad baby blues for about a month and now wonder if it wasn't somehow related to taking this stupid drug. Long story short I recently started taking it again but more consistently for like 10 days or so to see if I can boost my supply and keep going with some breast feeding. About 5 days into it I started having intense feelings of sadness that kind of washed over me, would come in waves and very sad thoughts of how time is moving too fast etc. Fearing my baby growing up too fast, Sadness over not being with her etc. Just irrational sadness and nothing I did seemed to be able to lift me out of it.I will be doing something very benign and all of a sudden there it is, intense sadness and crying spells. Also feelings of not being able to sit still and just over all feelings of "not being right." has anyone healed themselves naturally from this pill and how long about did it take to feel normal if your story is similar to mine. Nice to know i'm not alone | F | 37 | 10 days 10mg 3X day | 8/23/2014 | 1 | Increase Milk Supply | Utterly crippling depression. Bouts of anxiety at times. I didn't want my child. I wanted to take her back to the hospital. I thought I ruined my life. I COMPLETELY unable to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I was lost in grief for my "old life". I resented my child. | I struggled with low supply. Lactation consultant suggested I take Reglan. my OB wrote Rx for it. LC told me that depression was reported as a small side effect but if I had no history of depression (which I didn't) I shouldn't be worried. WOW. I took this pill for 30 days. 1 pill every 6 hours. I kept a daily diary at the time and you can see how my mood got lower and lower and lower. As if it wasn't bad enough to struggle as a new mom, have trouble breastfeeding, and THEN get dumped into a huge depression? I ran out of pills after my 30 day supply and by that time had decided to quit breastfeeding. I didn't wean off (wasn't told to). Well, 2 days after stopping I hit a brick wall. I couldn't stop crying all day. Could barely take care of my baby. UGH. Went to my OB. She said she doubtd it was the Reglan b/c she prescribes it a lot. Hmph. I was put on a low dose of Zoloft bc she figured it was PPD (which it might have been combined with the extra boost of depression from Reglan). Glad to say 7 months later I LOVE MY BABY and I LOVE my life. Zoloft was great, it worked like a miracle. I'm starting the weaning process of Zoloft now. I hope it goes well. Reglan is POISON. New motherhood is hard enough. Do NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF! Just go to formula. It is better for you and your baby if you are happy and healthy!!! | F | 31 | 30 days 10mg 4X day | 8/22/2014 | 1 | Increase milk supply | Severe anxiety, insonmia, constant fear, loss of appetite. Drug should be banned!! I've been off 2 weeks after taking for 30 days and still have these symptoms. I just got buspar anti anxiety pill to help. | F | 37 | 10 days | 8/7/2014 | 5 | delayed stomach emptying | Greatly helped with stomach issues. Only side effect was generalized lethargy. I just napped a lot. | F | 41 | 7 days 3 x per da | 7/31/2014 | 1 | migranes | This drug is so bad. I got a dystonic reaction going on month two with severe insomnia and tremors. I ended in a psych ward and now I'm hoping the new meds will help stabilize me. I have two beautiful kids and I can't even care for them from lack of sleep and mobility. The guy who gave me reglan was a med student!!! It brought my bipolar disorder out if only I could change from going to the er that day for headaches !!!this is hard on everyone I need my body back and sane mind!!! | F | 26 | 2 days 10 mg | 7/26/2014 | 1 | migraine | I went into psychosis, had depersonalization/derealization, suicidal and major depression, could not sleep whatsoever, entire body was writhing in pain, GERD and stomach aches, constant headache, forgetfulness, severe tremors, impulse to constantly walk and move, extreme exhaustion, anxiety attacks, agitation that leads to psychotic episodes, numbness, loss of appetite. | I got reglan through an IV. This will probably go down as the worst experience in my entire life. It's been 21 days since, and I still struggle every single day. And of course, the doctors at the hospital were too careless to warn me about the possible side effects. Being a person that is very sensitive to any medication, only from this one time, was I thrown into Reglan hell. I think it is a toxic medication that should be put to rest, once and for all, considering the side effects completely outweigh the intended 'positive' effects. It has ruined my entire summer, and sometimes I fear it will ruin my entire life, considering healing from the trauma has been a very slow and draining process. I still have a majority of the side effects. NEVER take this drug. I would rather suffer through what I'm taking it for, than taking Reglan. I was a completely normal/happy person before this, and I wish I never took this drug. | F | 20 | 1 days 1X day | 7/21/2014 | 1 | Slow Motility | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!! Reglan or Metoclopramide was originally utilized as an ANTIPSYCHOTIC and when the medical community realized its side effect profile i.e. ability to speed motility, it was quickly marketed/patented as a GERD med or tool for those suffering from gastroparesis--which is why my wife took it. This drug was tested on rats years ago, and the side effects these animals endured are equally horrifying when you read the literature. After 6 months she withdrew from the medication and suffered horrifying side effects including depression, anxiety, psychosis induced by insomnia, loss of memory, and too many other cognitive detriments to list. It took her several months to recover and this was only after a visit to a psychiatric unit!!! My wife is a brilliant professional, and is still suffering the effects of this horrible drug. I beg of you DO NOT TAKE THIS FOR ANY REASON....the risks DO NOT outweigh the benefit. Trust your instincts and avoid this med because | M | 48 | 6 months 10mg 2X day | 7/18/2014 |
