| 1 | To increase milk supply | I had horrible anxiety with lots of gastrointestinal side effects. Was having diarrhea several times a day. I was also nauseous a lot. I look back on that period of my life and am so sad. My anxiety was so horrible, I couldn't enjoy my baby. My OB never told me about any side effects, so I took this med for a year and never connected my symptoms with the med. I went to a gastroenterologist and he finally told me this was the Reglan causing all of this! | F | 28 | 1 years | 7/3/2014 | 1 | stomach issues | Horrible side effects!

I am trying to figure out if these symptoms resolve over time or if they are permanent. I am trying to figure out if these symptoms are treatable with other meds or best left alone to heal on their own. Please contact me if you have information.

I've never really read the side effects of medications before because I've never had any real issues with taking anything. I feel so naive now!!! I've NEVER had depression or anxiety before. The first thing I noticed was being so so tired but I brushed it off to being a working mother of three. Then came the random bouts of depression, it would last about 20 minutes or so then go away. Then last Monday happened. It was the worst day of my life. I couldn't stop crying, I wanted to quit my job, push a rock over my front door and never come out of my house again. This was NOT me, I knew something was wrong. The last few weeks I've been battling horrible thoughts and feelings that make me physically ill. My dear friend said she looked into taking Reglan for her milk supply but didn't because of the side effects. Thats when the lightbulb went off and I researched what I had been taking. I was dumbfounded by the results I found. I should have looked BEFORE I took this horrible drug. Now I'm trying to research how long it will take for me to get back to normal and praying that I will get there sooner than later. Can anyone tell me how long it took this drug to leave their system and for their well being to return to normal? | F | 29 | 6 weeks 1 3X day | 4/29/2014 | 1 | Anti-Nausea | Full on Panic Attack and shivers | I was given it pre-op to help with nausea after surgery and they gave it to me and walked away. I started freaking out like I was going to die in surgery, I thought I didn't want to be there and that the surgery wasn't worth it. Took 3 nurses, 2 warm blankets and an hour nap to get over the reaction. And in the end I still ended up getting sick after the surgery. | M | 18 | 1 days 1X O | 4/22/2014 | 1 | Morning sickness | Severe anxiety. I coundnt sit down or relax. My heart was racing felt like I could jump out of my skin! | I only took 1 tablet. I forced myself to exercise and by 4.00pm the following day 12 hours later the tablet was finally out of my system. | F | 27 | 1 days 3X day | 4/13/2014 | 1 | possible fainting/seizure&dizzines | Anxiety/panic attacks, stiffness on left side of my neck, fell like something stuck in my throat,cant sleep, don't go outside cause every thing I do it feel like danger or im gone die.I went to the ER for a possible fainting/seizure and dizziness which all happen the day before I went to the ER. on 2/23/14 they gave it to me thru a IV n soon as it reached my blood I felt the worst I called baby father( which was up stairs seeing a friend) and told him i wanted to go home cause i felt like they was trying to kill me i wanted the IV out plus the burning of the medicine goin thru my arm my baby father came to see what was going on they tried to explain saying they seen this before and they could of gave me to much and they tried giving me some else but I wouldn't let them just wanted to go home its 4/11/14 & im still having theses side effects can any one tell me I want to know do anyone get over theses side effects with out taking medicine im afraid to go to the hospital or take any medicine now after my experience.Don't know the dose they gave me but only took it once and this medicine need to be took off the market cause its dangerous and not healthy at all seems like they don't care for people or they health cause them making the problem worst I rather have a headache then go thru what im goin thru.Man I just want to go back to my normal life | F | 25 | 1 days | 4/11/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Very anxious, agitated, couldn't control my breathing, wanted to rip the IV out of my hand | F | 35 | 1 days | 3/13/2014 | 1 | Vomiting | Panic; crying. TERROR; wanting to leave! Red, flushed appearance, sweating. | I am writing this review for my 11 y.o. daughter. I had taken her to the E.R. for persistant vomiting. She had already been given 2 Zofran which did not work. I had asked the dr. not to give her compazine for the exact reasons listed above (I had those same reactions to compazine previously; and I DID NOT want her going through that). Little did I know that Reglan would have the same effect on her. Had I known, I would have said not to give her this crap as well. It stopped her vomiting, but I was so sad for how it made her feel. I had to hold her to keep her from jumping out of the hospital bed. She will never get this medicine again! | F | 11 | 1 days Not sure 1X day | 3/11/2014 | 1 | Nausea due to stomach flu | Terrible anxiety, racing heart, feelings of passing out, feeling like I was going to die and that I needed to escape and run from nothing. Hallucinations while standing, almost like a real day dream. Very bad headache/neck pain, dry mouth/tongue and very sore throat. Feels like the roof of my mouth was burned | I wouldn't recommend this medication to ANYBODY! | F | 22 | 1 days 10 4X day | 3/1/2014 | 1 | Tension Headache & Neck Issue | on 09/07/2013 I had gone to ER for Tension headache & a Real bad neck issue & they said before I go into the CT scan to take this weird long name started with a M (Metoclopramide) which was generic form of the REGLAN they said (I am no doctor and the Cute Nurse said it will help a lot) So they gave it to me threw an IV they set up for the CT injections Dye, and 10 mins later I had no control over my whole body. felt like I wanted out of my own body & I immediately hit the nurse call button and at this time flopping around in bed & continued to do so for 20 or so minuets ( I wanted to run out and yell at the top of my lungs So bad at this point but I was in a professional setting) the nurse saw me like this finally, the benadryl calmed me down some for me to go to get a CT scan 2 hour later so when they injected the Dye I lost consciousness, woke up & I was done but the scan did not go threw right & had to do it again, same thing, the dye then lost consciousne | To anyone who has taken this or reading this tell everyone you know or send a text message to your phone book list and Facebook to not take this or any other form of this Black listed Drug!!! | M | 28 | 1 days 1 IV shot 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 1 | seasickness | suicidal thoughts, loss of appetite, problems swallowing, tongue sticking out, facial grimacing, terrible twitching all over the body: legs, face, neck, trunk, fingers, lips would pucker/smack, heart palpitations, feelings of a seizure about to happen, near-panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, sweating, stiff and painful neck, eyes unable to focus, severe depression and anxiety, shaking like Parkinson's Disease, horrible bizarre dreams, visual hallucinations, terrible mental dullness, lethargy, mind is numb and fuzzy, strong feelings of sleepiness, hopelessness, fearful all the time. Instead of Reglan for seasickness, I would recommend just eating a green apple or some ginger before you get on a ship. This helps and there aren't any long lasting side effects. | I took a total of 40 mg of Reglan. This past year was very challenging for me. I spent the first 4-5 months of recovery talking myself out of a suicidal depression and anxiety attacks/fear. The one thing that kept me fighting was my sense of perseverance and hope...that one day things would get better, and they did. Although it's been about a year since I took Reglan, I still have some side effects, but 98% of them are gone. The mental dullness lingers, but I barely twitch. When I twitch, it's very, very small. All of the other side effects are gone. I'm sure to say that by this summer, things will have healed completely. I measured my recovery not in hours or days, but in weeks and months. I've been to several neurologists and one of them suggested that there might be a genetic predisposition/intolerance to metoclopramide, the chemical that's in Reglan. This would explain my temporary condition. When you hurt the brain, it takes a long time to heal because of the blood-brain barrier. I'm posting this to help people. The doctors wanted me to take their medications. I told them no because I wanted my brain to heal naturally. Because I'm not a doctor, I can't tell you what to do with your body. I can only tell you what I myself did to get through this mess: I took Omega-3, E, C, and B complex vitamins. I ate bananas and salmon, went to the gym often, kept a journal, avoided being alone, went outside a lot. Hope this helps | F | 26 | 4 days 10mg 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 1 | Ok I realize that this drug is posion, and the fact that it hasnt been banned yet is astounding to say the least, but some of the stuff on here just doesnt sound right. 1 dose of reglan, a drug that is out of your system in a matter of hours ruined your life forever?!?!? If you think this is bad then try a high potency dopamine blocker. This is mild stuff compared with haldol and droperidol which are also used for nausea. This drug is terribl,e and should not be used over a few days if at all, yet one dose is not going to "ruin your life". That is called hypochondria. Its having a bad reaction and thinking you will never go back to normal. A low potency dopamine blocker, one dose will in no way ruin your life. So as long as you did not take it long term, you should be fine. | M | 25 | 2 days 1X day | 11/23/2013 | 5 | 1X day | 11/14/2013 | 1 | administeted by anesthesiologist | In 2007 when I was 21 years old I went into surgery for nothing serious and before the anesthesiologist administered the general anesthesia she decided that since I had briefly mentioned I was nauseas, she would give me anti-nausea medication through my veins, without even notifying me of this decision of hers. Well, as a result of the Reglan which she administered I had a full blown cardiac event in which I had tachycardia and i felt like I was dying. My heart rate went over 200 and I was clutching my heart and the back of my neck was on fire, and I ultimately went unconscious. I had never experienced such an overwhelming sense of fear and dread in my life. I have no history of panic attacks or any allergies. But that experience traumatized me because I never fully understood what happened until I read the literature on Reglan. How this drug is available on the market is beyond me. It causes panic in patients and cardiac problems and many anesthesiologists aren't aware of these side effects. What a terrible drug. | F | 26 | 1 days | 11/13/2013 | 4 | Nausea | "Buzzy" Feeling. No better way to describe it, sorry. | I was put on this drug originally by my GP for nausea before I had an endoscopy that showed ulcers in my esophagus and stomach. After the GI, I tried at least 6 other anti-nausea meds before I asked if I could go back on the Reglan. It was the only med I found that allowed me to function with little or no side effects. I am aware of the "Black Label" side effects which do make me nervous, but am hopeful that I will only be on the drug for another few weeks while the ulcers are healing. All in all, I have found this drug to be very helpful to me. | F | 36 | 2 weeks 10 mg 3X day | 10/24/2013 |
