1	Acid Reflux, Nausea	Age 8-11 no side effects noted. Age 12-14 depression, suicidal thoughts/attempt, extreme mood swings. Age 17:Dystonic reaction, Tardive dyskinesia, grandmal convultions, abnormal twisting of the body, loss of ability to walk	This drug nearly caused my death when I was 17. I had a very rare but possible reaction to the drug that left me in the hospital for a month with convultions. I was released with lots of ativan and valium to keep me sedated, and psychotherapy ensued after my release. I kept having involuntary movements and anxiety attacks up to three months after the removal of the medication, by which time I began fasting and praying for a miraculous healing. I was healed by God that's for sure, the doctors gave me no hope of ever getting better and psychologically I was a mess as a side effect from the medication. I'm now a fully functional and happy full time college student and full time worker. Thank God!	F	21	6 years		1/18/2008 Email

2	gatroparesis/nausea/ stomach pain	I couldn't understand why I was so depressed all the time. At first I thought I was just depressed because I was ill most of the time. After discontinuing the medication I realized that was it...the medicine was making me depressed. I've always been the nervous type but when I was taking reglan I stayed jittery. In addition, there were a lot of times that the medicine heightened all my symptoms instead of relieving them.	Those pill are poison and everyone should stop taking them. What good is the medicine if you kill yourself. The doctors should be ashamed of themselves to keep promoting medicine that attacks a persons mental state. Thank God I did not take the stuff 3 times a day like they directed or I might not be here to talk about it. It is that bad!	F		4 years		7/14/2009
5	gastroparesis	I had headaches and such at first - but i have been taking this medication for 3 years - 1 5mg tab 3x per day. It has helped me tremendously. I tried to quit it because all this controversy scared me, and believe me - it's painful. Then i thought to myself maybe everyone else is having side effects but at this point i am not, and why would i stop something that works really well. Im sorry that everyone else has had bad experiences but i have not.		F	54	3 years		6/30/2009 Email

1	Idiopathic gastroparesis	After being on Reglan for 3 years, I experienced severe (suicidal) depression, bloating, edema, weight gain, prolactinemia (extremely high prolactin blood levels which caused my dr. to tell me I had a brain tumor & caused my ovaries to shut down, throwing me into premature menopause at the age of 34!!	After going off Reglan, my prolactin levels went back to normal, but my reproductive system was shot! Started on Propulsid - which works like a charm! When it was pulled from the market, I got into a study for 6 months (lots of EKGs!) Now I get the drug from the internet (Mexico, etc.) this is a little scary, but at least I can eat and poop!!(Without constant nausea & stomach pain!)

1	nausea gastroparesis	Depression, severe skin agitation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. Ended up in a psych unit for 3 weeks where I was simply put on a anti-depessant which did nothing for me except make me foggy. Found out about the gruesome side effects of Reglan at this web site.	Was on 5mg/meal for 3 years, had gall bladder removed in hopes of solving problem. When that didn't work was put on a dose of 10/mg/meal. That's when the severe side effects exploded on the scene. Nothing ever did solve my nausea problem. Stopped using Splenda helped. Will never use Reglan again, it made my life hell.	M	64	3 years		5/30/2008 Email
1	I shouldn't!	I was put on Reglan about 2.5 years ago because my primary care doctor though I had gastroparesis. I was on it 2.5 years and I had horrible side effects (I didn't know at that time that it was Reglan)-depression, anxiety, restlesness, irritation, nervousness, twiching of my eye for most of the time. I just saw a new doctor and he did the test again and it happened that I never had gastroparesis! I was taking reglan with antidepressants and acid reflux meds. I am "fighting" with my stomach for over 4 years now. My new GI did some tests and he says I have irritable bowel syndrome. I am taking 4 different meds now. He found bile in my stomach (I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago because they said it may help with my stomachaches, nausea and vomiting) so I take carafate, librax, zegerid and levsin as needed.

While the doctors have yet to figure out why I have gastroparesis, this is the only thing that has helped with my delayed stomach emptying.

1	Acid reflux	My doctor put me on reglan in 2007. She continued to tell me to keep taking it. I didnt stop taking reglan until the middle of 2009 when I switched doctors... I was on reglan for almost three years. At first it seemed like it was really helping control my stomach problems, until it changed my life so drastically. It was very hard for me to stop taking it because I became so dependent. Even when it stopped working on my stomach I couldnt quit. My parents said I was addicted. I didnt realize how much it was hurting me and affecting me. Because of reglan, I have tremors in my hands and uncontrolled movements in my shoulders, legs, and feet. I have headaches, back pain, i'm weak, I get tired and dizzy easily, and worst of all I have major anxiety. I became very distant from my friends and family. I was completely depressed. I cried almost everyday. It was so bad that I actually began having mental breaking downs, and I resorted to hurting myself.

1	Acid Reflux	Depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, difficulty with focus and concentration.	Started taking Reglan about 2 years ago. I has really helped with the GERD, but I've been depressed and anxious at least a year and a half. Never made the connection with Reglan as cause of depression. Went on Lexapro for depression and anxiety and depression got worse along with other horrible side effects: dizziness, extreme nausea, heart palpitations, fainting. Noticed a label on Reglan bottle saying "Call doctor if you experience new or worsening feelings of anxiety,sadness, depression, restlessness..." Researching possible interactions with other drugs I'm taking (Nexium, Reglan, Flomax, Ambien) lead me to find this web site and learn more about depression side effects of Reglan. Went off Lexapro a few days ago after taking it for less than a week. Stopped the Reglan yesterday. Feeling discouraged about how long it may take to start feeling like my old self again. At least I'm relieved to have possibly found the cause of my depression. I feel less crazy knowing it could	M	58	2 years		2/27/2009
1	Barret's esophagus, GERD	I gradually became more and more depressed to the point that my family noticed it. Not recognizing Reglan as the cause, I saw a psychotherapist. When it didn't improve at all, I began to suspect something chemical but I couldn't figure what. What drove me to do research was a trembling anxiety attack, something I'd never had before. I also developed premature heart beats (15,000 per day) and had to take Tambocor for it. My BP, normally low, went up. All symptoms disappeared when I quit the Reglan.	It worked to control GERD, but it wasn't worth it. I only found out about the depression side effect by accident...no MD suggested it as a possible cause of my problems. Within 1 week of going off it, the depression lessened. Anxiety attack never happened again, even once! I now only take half dose of Tambocor and I suspect I may not even need that but MD is afraid to chance my going off it.	F	64	2 years		6/2/2008

1	GERD	I suffered from severe depression on Reglan. It worked fabulously for my GERD, which had been very severe and had not responded to any other meds. However, I experienced a number of side effects including severe drowsiness (which decreased after I cut my dose in half), mental fuzziness--inability to concentrate and think clearly -- and mild hand tremors. The worst side effects were insomnia, anxiety, agitation and severe depression, which I didn't associate with the drug, because at the time I was feeling quite ill and also undergoing a career change. I had classic symptoms: apathy, inability to get out of bed, depressed mood, feelings of hopelessness. I had no prior history of depression. I went on anti-depressants which improved the anxiety, agitation, and sleeplessness but not the depression. Neither my GI doctor (initially, when I told her I had started antidepressants) nor the psychiatrist I consulted made the connection. This went on for a year, until one month my Rx bott		F	59	1 years		3/30/2007
1	Reflux	Depression,suicide thoughts,involuntary leg movement,toe tapping,pacing,anxiety,confusion,dizziness,anger,loss of appetite,constipation and diarrhea.	I started taking Reglan in Dec. 2007. Symptoms started in April 2008, by June 2008 I was in Psych for 3 days. Continued to see Psych Docs until Sept. 2009. It was a living hell. Nothing helped. I went to the drug store with a script for Pristiq and found out there was an interaction with Reglan so I stopped the Reglan. My legs immediately stopped moving and some of the other symptoms left as well. My side effects are shortness of breath,chest heaviness,sweaty hands,light headed,involuntary mouth/movement,anxiety,under arm rash. Some of them are getting better with time.

1	to increase breastmilk production	depression, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, extreme sleepiness	I was willing to deal with the depression/ anxiety and extreme sleepiness because my baby would not take a bottle and when I would stop taking Reglan he would start loosing weight, but now I have developed insomnia/ rapid heartbeat/ panic attacks that have gone on for about a week and I can no longer take this drug. This has never happened to me before and I feel like I drank about a gallon of coffee though I haven't had any caffeine.

Symtoms did not go away when I stopped taking it. Dr. told me that they may never go away. That's scary. No problem could be bad enough to take this drug.	M	53	10 months		4/21/2008
1	GERD	Reglan helped lessen the severe problems I was having with GERD; but, I ended up with severe depression and anxiety. I was not aware that the Reglan could cause severe depression and anxiety. I was working long hours and getting very little sleep. I compalined to my doctor that I was experiencing unexplained anxiety and depression and was told it was due to over working and no sleep. I took some time off but the anxiety and depression got so bad I isolated and had suicidal thoughts. During this time I continued taking the Reglan not knowing that it was the cause of my symtoms. By the time I quit taking it I had to seek help on an out patient basis at a mental hospital. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder and depression. I ended up on 9 different pscychiatric medications,lost my job and over 5 years of my life. I am still trying to get my life back.

We started him on the drug aroung 9 months old and he only vomited 2-3 times a day. Now he is 17 months and still doing well. Hoping to wean him soon. However - we labored over the decision to give him this drug and I would recommend anyone else to do the same. For our child the benefits outweighed the risks.	F	26	8 months		11/11/2006 Email

I am angry that my Dr. never told me. I've been on 40 mg. 10mg/4xday on and off for years. I went back on faithfully about 6-8 months ago and wondered why I'd suddenly become so depressed and fatigue which I expect hung on forever. It was all consuming and has taken my life away.

1	Increase Milk Production	despondence, flat hopeless affect	My wife was on this for months. It got to the point where I didn't know who I was married to anymore. She cared about our child and making sure he was adequately supplied while nursing, but at the same time she lost all interest and care about anything else. She wanted to give up, throw our jobs and friends away and move. There was moodiness but mostly she was totally disengaged all the time. People who new her were on eggshells around her. I witnessed many of the psychological symptoms described by others, but the most detrimental was the denial. The negative effects of this drug were an unnoticeable slow buildup. For a long time we dismissed these feelings as part of being a new mom. It got the the point where I could see signs of dependency and I sought help for us. Our marriage was suffering and our child was able to get adequate nutrition without having to nurse as much. Since stopping the medication our communication has been restored and she is able to once again laugh and smile genuinely. She's like she was before. This drug isn't worth it. The denial and change in demeanor is noticeable by family, friends, and colleagues and it can cause long term detriment to relationships and careers. Not to mention, there is a class action suit now being brought against the makers related to onset of Tardive Dyskinesia, which is irreversible.	M	31	8 months		8/18/2009
1	slow stomach emptying	ANHEDONIA!!! and much more.	This is my second posting. I have been doing a great deal of research about Reglan. Please do some research on Anhedonia and how to treat it. I took Reglan for 8 months 4x a day at 10mgs. I have been off Reglan 4.5 months. Zoloft did not work for me, but does work for some. Nortriptyline did help but could not handle constipation side effect. My doctor has been asking me to consider Wellbutrin as it works on Dopamine. Reglan disrupts dopamine in our brains and causes us to become unbalanced. Anhedonia can be a direct complication of this process. Mirapex is recommended for restoring dopamine health. I have not had a chance to speak with my doctor about this but will do so on Monday. A healthy diet, staying connected to friends and family, and natural supplements that boost brain and nuerotransmission health have also been helpful.	F	45	8 months		6/7/2009 Email

I feel like I have been to hell and I still have not made it home. I quit Reglan cold turkey a month and a half ago and I am still daily dealing with side effects. Because of the Reglan my body will not tolerate anti-depressants. I have been taking a low dose of Ativan for my anxiety. I have never experienced anything like this before. I went to the emergency room 5 times thinking I was dying.

4	nausea, bloating, gastroparesis	moderate depression, insomnia	Even though I am experiencing depression and insomnia, I will push through it, and continue taking Reglan as long as it helps. Before Reglan, I was unable to eat solid food without experiencing severe bloating and pain in stomach and upper right abdomen near ribs, severe cramping, diarrhea and generally feeling ill. Had gall bladder removed a yr ago for these problems, but all symptoms remain. Once my Reglan dose was adjusted up to 20mg 2x a day, I can now eat small meals at least, and the nausea and most of the pain and bloating are gone. I am undergoing tests to find the root cause, Reglan is just a temporary measure until the true culprit is found and treated, but Reglan has saved my life, the benefits for me outweigh the side effects at this time, and I pray that Tardive Diskenesia or other sever side effects stays at bay ...

1	GERD, Acid Reflux, Nausea, etc.	Drowsiness, anxiety, depression, sore throat.	Please, don't take this medicine. I'm 17 and I'm miserable because of it. I find it hard to go on living. It will break you down and make you the saddest person on the planet. I stopped taking it 5 months ago, and I'm still not better. I still feel anxiety and severe depression. I fear the damage is permanent. Please please please, don't take this medicine. It's poison to your mind and body.	F	17	6 months		4/2/2009 Email
1	acid reflux	anxiety, tremors, agitated, insomnia, lost appetite, fluctuating blood pressure, hot flashes, couldn't be left alone, sensitive to all noise, could not focus on anything.	The affects of Reglan were insidious. After taking it for about 4 months I noticed I was starting to worry excessively about things and was having trouble sleeping. My Dr. increased the dosage from 10 mg 3 times a day to 4 times a day and suddenly all of the side effects previously stated appeared. Reglan is a deadly poison.	F	71	6 months		2/22/2007 Email
1		does anyone know if these side affects after stopping this drug go i have read some times they are permanent my doctor never warned me about this drug you should not take this drug for a long period of time it is associated with tardive dyskinesia my doctor says that this is rare and so are side affects how wrong is he. Symptons can appear after months of trouble free treatment they can appear as the dose is lowerd or withdrawn.Masking is the term used to describe the ability of the drug to cover the toxic symptons it is producing. POISON messing up the central nervous system potentially irriversable . This drug has messed me up i am praying that it isnt permanent .. so far i have no improvement with my symptons and the doctor says it has nothing to do with this drug ...

1	GERD delayed gastric empting	My daughter started reglan when she was about 4 months it didnt really help so the dr. raised the dose. Thats when she started have jerking movement in her neck and twitching in her face. I will never allow my child to take this drug again. I hope anyone reading this thinking of putting their child on this drug would never consider it. Its awful my daughter couldnt tell me how she was feeling but I know how she looked and it was scarry aand horriable no child should ever be put on this!		F	1	6 months 1X D		3/5/2010

1	Gastroparesis due to Diabetes	Uncontrolled shaking of legs, arms, facial ticks, shaking and movement of the jaw.	Get off this drug immediately. My mother was on this drug for 6 months for stomach problems related to Diabetes. The side effects were horrible, but the doctors didn't know what was causing it. One of her doctors mentioned that some of the symtoms she was having might be caused by the reglan but even the neurologist they sent her to seemed to think she had developed parkinsons disease. After researching the side effects of Reglan I had her taken off of the drug and within a week most of the side effects were gone. The problem with this drug is that the effects can be permanent and the longer you are on it the more likely this could be the case. We've switched her to Domperidone (Motillium), it provides her with the same relief without the nasty side effects.	F		6 months		4/23/2007

1	gastroparesis	depression, suicidal thoughts (this was the 2nd time I'd been on reglan for awhile), for the past several months. The 1st time led to a severe suicidal depression, which required a lot of therapy, antidepressants and antianxiety meds to overcome (a couple years worth). I never connected that depression to the reglan though. I'm glad to have found this site, which convinced me to get off reglan now, when it was beginning to have the same effect.	Propulsid had worked for me sometime back. Reglan is dangerous, and if doctors prescribe it, they should definitely stay in touch with the patient for signs of depression and the like.

1	acid reflux	I took this drug in 2007 and wanted to update my experiences with Reglan. Side effects - life long tremors, involuntary muscle spasms, akathisia, severe anxiety and Tardive dyskinesia.	Under any circumstances, please do NOT take this medication. It has literally ruined my life. I am a young woman who is damaged for the rest of my life because of Reglan. This drug blocks dompamine from your brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter located in our Central Nervous System making it one of our most important neurotransmitters. Without dopamine, you can develop neurological conditions, suicidal ideations and behavioral problems. This drug should be banned. If you do take this drug, DO NOT take this drug for more than 3 months, as it's only approved by the FDA for 3 months. I was left on the drug for 6 months and my brain became damaged. I will never be the same person, thanks to Reglan.	F	37	6 months		11/12/2009

3	Gastroparesis	Depression, anxiety, diarrhea	Drug has really helped the bloating and nausea associated with the condition. I'm ONLY taking 10mg once a day. Unfortunately, soon after beginning Reglan I experienced heightened bouts of depression alternating with anxiety. I attributed it to other things in my life. Then the uncontrolable episodes of diarrhea began. Symptoms continue to persist during the five months on Reglan. It has made me virtually housebound. I traced the onset of symptoms to the start of the Reglan. Having begun research today, I stumbled upon this site and was amazed and enlightened. Why did an Endocrinologist, Cardiologist and Internist all not offer a warning to this med. Reglan definitley helped my gastroparisis, but I can't handle the side effects and will begin weaning off today. Thank you to every one for your comments and warnings.	M	53	5 months		5/26/2008 Email
1	nausea	tremors, twitching, rapid eye blinking, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, restless leg syndrome, feeling like my brain was being eaten alive.	HELL ON EARTH!! I am a 35 year old woman who has suffered so needlessly. This drug has ruined my life. I have been off reglan for 6 wks now and none of my symptoms have subsided. I am a prisoner to my body and mind. The only thing I want to do is kill myself because I can't imagine living the rest of my life like this. No one has answers (including neurologists) and think I need a psych consult. I have never suffered like this until I was prescribed this horrendous medication. This should be banned. I want to take action. I am going to leave my email address. If anyone wants to fight this drug legally, please email me. There are too many people suffering. This drug needs to be taken off the market. It can literally kill you.	F	35	5 months		12/3/2007 Email

1	chronic nausea	Depression; fatigue in arms and legs.	Started taking Reglan during a hospital stay for spine surgery. Several weeks later I was suffering from nausea after meals, so my doctor put me back on it. I was on it for 3 or 4 months until I finally quit after sliding into severe depression. My family has a history of depression, but *I* don't, or rather, I *didn't* until taking this drug. I KNOW this was the cause. It was truly hell, folks. After a year of anti-depressants, I'm back to normal, but I will NEVER take Reglan again. Be very careful if your Dr. prescribes this.	F	52	4 months		2/25/2008

1	gastric reflux	Parkinsons symptoms to include the shuffle gate and cogwheel effects in my arms	Be ever so careful with this drug! Take something else when at all possible. My mother 65 years old was put on reglan after her recent gallbladder surgery. After about 2 months she started having tremors and after 4 months she had the staring gaze,whispery voice, mask-like face, shuffle gait,etc. After reviewing her meds with her Dr. he took her off of Reglan. We are on day 12 and she is not 100% yet but she is considerbly on the road to recovery! Keep an eye on your family members people! She tells me she was just as shaky on the inside as she was on the outside. She can't drive right now and had to stop working until she is better.

I have zero history of either and am now having to take Zoloft to stabilize my mood. This drug has done no good for me what so ever. I did not find it helpful in increasing my milk supply either.

Rash, nausea, muscle stiffness/pain, chest pain, trouble breathing, involuntary tounge and throat movement, chills, stomach cramps, fatique, thoughts of sucide, depression, brain fog, head pain, jaw stiffness, burning stinging in the lips and thorat, numbness in my tounge and thorat, swelling of the legs, ankles, face, hands, vision disturbances.

1	ER surgery on obstructed bowl	I have been on Reglan for almost 4 months . For the past couple of months I have been experiencing hives and my asthma/lungs are in very bad shape. I have also been severly depressed and anxieous throughout the course of taking Reglan. I now feel like my skin is crawling and during the entire 4 months I have also experienced swelling of my face, ankles and legs periodically. Recently, within the past couple of weeks, I have been having uncontrolled movement of my tounge, tingling in my mouth, throat and legs, experiencing a toxic taste in my mouth, leg restlesness and leg pain, lower back pain (feels like kidney pain), extreme fatique and insomnia, brain fog, nausea; and now that I have stopped the drug, my symptoms are even worse. It never occured to me during the four months of taking this medication that I was experencing side effects. Mostly, I just want to know if you have overcome your symptoms and how long it took you to feel normal again. I hope that there is an	Although it seemed to help my bowel regulation, I am now very concerned about my life.

1	Gastrointestinal problems during ch	I have developed a disease known as Tardive Dyskinesia, which is linked to the drug Reglan (Metoclopramide). On Feb. 27, 2009, the FDA issued a "black box" warning for this drug, and says it is linked to the Dyskinesia syndrom. After taking the drug to combat nausea during chemo, I started developing problems with my mouth and tongue, with the primary problem being my tongue. It felt like my tongue was contorted, and I was constantly moving my tongue....all the time. Over the five months since stopping the drug, this problem still persists, and I have also developed rapid eye twitching, and constant anxiety feeling. In discussing with my oncologist, he says this has been linked to the drug Reglan. I would highly recommend that before taking this drug you research for yourself on one of the websites, such as WebMD.com or even the Reglan site itself. This is a nasty drug, and the symptoms are not treatable and can be permanent.		F	64	4 months		2/28/2009 Email
1	acid reflux	confusion, loss of memory, weight loss, anxiety, insomnia, suicide	My husband of 17 years never had depression, was on this drug and the symptoms were all systematic, the final result was suicide.

2	gastroparesis	Breathing issues, anxiety, nervousness, sleeplessness, tremors. Can not function.	I had been taking Reglan for about 3 months. Its has changed the way I have been living. It would work for the Gastroparesis 3 out 7 days of the week. Reglan would get me worked up enough emotionally ( in which I ve never been before in such a matter) that I would heave, throw up. I just came of the reglan last week and the symtoms increase 3 fold. I couldn't breath on Friday and had to go the the er. I drove in that conditon. If you can I recommend you avoid this drug. There are two more medications out there that help. One is Euthomysine(sp) and the other is Domperidone ( its approved everywhere except for the US)The side effects are still affecting me and I m taking three types of Anxity meds in which I ve never had to take before.

Currently (2009) in my third round of physical therapy. Numbness in left side of face and tongue; lost taste sensation, can only distinguish hot vs. cold food.

They will not even admit that I could be having all these side effects from Reglan. If anyone has found any help please let me know where and how. I feel like I cann't suffer from this anymore alone.

1	Acid reflux	Drowsiness, unusual tiredness, external shaking, clumsiness, forgetfulness, numbness in head, brain and brain stem, internal shakiness, fear, anxiety, depression, memory loss, loss of mental alertness, difficulty concentrating, difficulty with vocabulary and remembrance of words, wildly fluctuating blood pressure, feeling of tightness and fever in head and face. My doctor now lists Reglan as a drug allergy in my case.	This is absolutely the worse drug I have ever been exposed to. It came very close to killing me. This drug should be taken off the market. No positive result could be worth the devastation this drug creates. I have been under surveillance by my PCP every three months since first taking the drug in 2002. I am still having symptoms now in 2009. This drug almost took my life and my career. I have never recovered to the level of mental alertness and productivity I had before taking the drug. I cannot afford to retire early, but I may be forced to. I find it so difficult to drag myself to work feeling so bad. When I get home I just want to curl up in a fetal position.

1	acid reflux	Severe anxiety and depression	It took me almost three months for the physician to discover that Reglan was the source of my extreme anxiety and depression.

1	acid reflux	depression, anxiety, lack of energy	I was prescribed Reglan along with Nexium for acid reflux. While this combination eased my symptoms, I would strongly recommend caution when taking Reglan. I have absolutely no history of depression or anxiety. This drug made me extremely anxious. I also began feeling depressed for the first time in my life. I am very active, but have been chronically tired as of late. After finding this website, I immediately quit taking Reglan.

I have been off reglan for about two months and all of the symptoms have abated.

1	gastritis	My father ( age 74) began taking Reglan a few months back for gastritis. He immediately began having trouble holding his head up and began shuffling when he walked, became depressed and nervous. 3 months into the medicine, he is just a shell of the vibrant and happy person he once was. He is anxious, nervous, depressed and cowered down, like he is afraid of everything. He has no emotions, doesn't cry or get mad, isn't happy about anything and is a totally different person than he was before the medicine.	Even after expressing our worry about this drug, we were unable to get our doctor to understand our concerns. The intern who was assisting him at the time assured us that if there were side effects such as he had mentioned that they would go away when the medicine was discontinued. This was a complete lie. We stopped the medicine over 3 weeks ago and even though we were assured that it would get out of his system quickly, he has not changed. Another doctor assred us that he gave out the medicine as if it were "candy". I certainly don't want to "trick or treat" at his house! We pray daily for help. This is unbelievable that a drug with this kind of patient response is on the market.	M	74	3 months		11/21/2007
1	increase milk production	depression, severe anxiety, panic attacks, tingling/burning sensations in arms, restlessness	I took reglan 10mg (anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day) for about 3 1/2 months to increase my milk production. About a month ago (while on the Reglan), I noticed that I was becoming depressed and anxious and didn't know why. 12 days ago I realized that these were side effects of the reglan and discontinued it abruptly. I had already visited my PCP for the anxiety/depression and was given Lexapro. I had not started it. Two days after stopping the reglan, I experienced a severe panic attack, so I began taking the Lexapro. For the next two days, I felt very empty inside and could barely get off of the sofa. I was unable to care for my children. On Monday and Tuesday, I had severe panic attacks that lasted almost all day and improved in the evening. Wednesday was a little better, but still horrible.

I had muscle twitches, I would fly off the handle at my husband and kids, for no reason, insomnia. I started making breast milk, missed my periods. I can say that I was somewhat satisfied b/c it made the stomach pains go away but the side effects were really bad. I don't know if I had to do it over again, that I would take this medicine. My GI doctor told me I did the right thing by stopping it. But I also had horrible withdrawal symptoms as I quit cold turkey.

1	Nausea and weight loss.	I was prescribed the generic med for Reglan and after the first pill, I started having a problem walking straight. I then started feeling lethargic but yet couldn't sit still. I had constant diarrhea and then started having tremors in my arms and hands to the point that it was difficult to feed myself. I called the doctor who prescribed the med and was told the med did NOT have these side effects and to keep taking it. I did and became depressed and called the pharmacist and was told that this med did, indeed, have these side effects. In the process of gradually cutting down on the med in order to go completely off of it, I began having violent vomiting spells in addition to the diarrhea and went to another doctor. He admitted me to the hospital immediately and I was there for eleven days. I have never been the same since and would not recommend this drug to anyone. Nor would I recommend the doctor who prescribed it and refused to believe there were any side effects.	This medication should be banned.

She became homebound until she we went off of the Reglan and it was out of her system, 2 months on Regaln and 2 months before side effects went away. It will mess you up.

It affected my job, home, family, everything! Worse "medicine" I have ever taken!	The G.I. specialist wouldn't offer anything else. I went to a health food store, explained symptoms, & they offered a plant enzyme (in this case "Digest Gold"). It worked wonders and no side effects! I have tried other plant enzymes but this one seemed to work better. I tried to tell GI Dr. but he didn't want to listen! Typical! My primary care physician was interested, though! Try plant enzymes and see if it helps. I'm more alert now than when I was on Reglan. Same thing happened to wife of co-worker & when she was taken off Reglan he said she is back to her old self.
