Not a wonder drug but does work. I take it on an as-needed basis, so 25x10mg tabs will last me a few months. | F | 29 | 18 months | 12/27/2005 | 1 | Infant Reflux | My 3 month old was prescribed this for his reflux and we never got a chance to see if it helped him because the first night he took it, I had to rush him to the emergency room. We thought he was dying. He screamed for hours and nothing would soothe him. He was making weird movements. | DO NOT GIVE THIS MEDICATION TO YOUR INFANT!!!!!! | M | 0.25 | 1 days | 1/26/2006 | 1 | severe vomiting | Extreme anxiety, weeks of insomnia, restlessness, depression, inability to focus, Need psychiatric intervention after hospital IV and one pill, still lasting after 6 weeks | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG IF UNDER 30. Does anyone know of doctors in NYC who understand the perils of this drug? Does anyone know a lawyer for product liability claims? How about mental health Symptoms? Do they ever subside? | F | 25 | 1 days | 2/11/2006 | 1 | nausea | THREW UP FOR 18 HOURS. REGLAN RESPONSIBLE FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. Can cause irregular heart rate arrhytmia. Check out www.drugs.com I had to be cardio-convert [shocked] to get my heart back to normal pulse. Avoid this drug! | F | 52 | 1 days | 2/15/2006 | 1 | gastroparesis | VERY jittery - needed to keep moving to allay the sense of being out of control - after only 3 dosages taken as prescribed. Very frightening experience esp for someone who has some difficulty w/anxiety to begin with. Took a few days to calm down and sleep well. On the positive side, after the first couple of days - I had more energy than usual until effect wore off totally (about 5 dys later) however, it wasn't worth it! | F | 56 | 1 days | 2/17/2006 | 1 | Nausea | Higher blood pressure, racing heart, bad fatigue and severe depression. | I couldn't stop crying and felt terribly afraid. I wasn't warned this was a common side effect and thought I was going crazy, which was the scariest part of the whole thing. Its hard to believe a drug can do that until it happens to you. VERY scary drug! | F | 25 | 4 weeks | 2/25/2006 | 3 | Weak LES Muscle, GERD, Nausea | Very dry mouth and lips; Constipation; Occasional severe chills; Lactation; Increased Fibromyalgia pain; Stinging sensation in hands and feet; extreme bloat after eating, no matter the size of the meal. | On one hand, I am relieved to not be throwing up bile every day and my stomach pain is better. Reglan has helped ease those symptoms. However, it has scary side effects and the manuf advises not to take it for long periods of time. I think it has a definite impact on the pain I experience with Fibromyalgia. Some days, it's hell. Not sure if it is worth it yet. I win and I lose, if you know what I mean. Be mindful of your side effects and communicate with your doctor. Be your own advocate! | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 3/6/2006 | 1 | Infant reflux | Severe Dystonic reaction. My 4mo old daughter's eyes rolled to back of head and stayed there.Arms very stiff and continuously shaking for hours. Screaming unconsolably.Did not stop until meds wore off. | This medication worked very well for the reflux.side effects just not worth it. VERY SCARY. Called Dr. No one informed me benedryl stops this reaction!!Do not give to infants! | F | 4 | 5 days | 3/9/2006 | 2 | severe gastroparesis | I am generally a happy person but this drug caused severe DEPRESSION. Nothing made me happy even though intelectually I knew I should be happy I was not. Also it caused me to be apathetic. | This drug did help with my gastric motility. I did not experience the nausea and vomiting with it. After 3 weeks I quit the reglan (because of depression) and the nausea and vomiting returned. My Doctor encouraged me to try reglan again and the depression came back and hit hard. Reglan is a dopamine inhibitor and crosses the blood brain barrier. The depression is just not worth it. | F | 43 | 3 weeks | 3/24/2006 | 1 | gastroparesis | Severe depression suddenly out of the blue. Very suidical,tired yet too jittery and shaky to sleep. Parkinson like symptoms even 3 days after I stopped taking this drug. | Likely one of the worst drugs I ever tried and according to GP newsletter no one can tolerate it for long either. I would say it alot more dangerous then domperdone which FDA refuses to approve yet here for GP suffers. | M | 33 | 5 days | 4/2/2006 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Face became numb and within hours paralysed in a grimmace, within 3 hours labored breathing was already on way to emergency. Felt like having a stroke or something. | Benadryl counteracts symptoms | F | 22 | 1 days | 4/12/2006 | 1 | Digestive problems | Severe depression, suicidal thoughts,tremors,severe myoclonus,anxiety,severe muscle fasciculations,Parkinson symptoms,Restless legs with periodic limb movements, mental dullness short term memory loss. This literaly almost killed me | These side effects have lasted over 2 years. Went to MAYO to see what was wrong. They said "most likley" caused by Reglan. They had to research and found "reports" of these side effects lasting up to two years. One problem is Docs don't want to blame another Doc. However I was advised by MAYO to never take this again. | M | 52 | 2 weeks | 5/17/2006 | 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!) Currently investigating accupuncture & colon hydrotherapy to get off all meds! | F | 45 | 3 years | 5/26/2006 | 1 | stomach motility problem | parkinsonian symptoms came on suddenly after three years of use. Some still present after three months of not using the drug. Suspect hand tremor may be permenant. | Recommend that it be used for only 4 -12 weeks, which is FDA standard. | M | 68 | 3 years | 5/26/2006 | 1 | stomach motility problem | parkinsonian symptoms came on suddenly after three years of use. Some still present after three months of not using the drug. Suspect hand tremor may be permenant. | Recommend that it be used for only 4 -12 weeks, which is FDA standard. | M | 68 | 3 years | 5/26/2006 | 1 | migraine | akathesia-felt like i was going to jump out of my skin. my heart raced and i kept wanting to rip at my skin! It was the worst feeling in the world. Felt like I was going psychotic. | "they" say this is rare but I have heard far to many of the same stories. Be careful-if you feel like this after taking reglan, ask for benedryl IMMEDIATELY!!! | F | 25 | 6 times | 6/2/2006 | 1 | Vomiting and nausea | Depression, sadness, thoughts of suicide, personality change, weepiness, heaviness/twitchiness in arms and hands, jerky movements of hands, involuntary movements of hands, prickly feeling in hands, extreme drowsiness/sleepiness, fatigue, bizarre dreams, some anxiety | The dr who prescribed Reglan for me did not mention any of the side effects. I have recently been dealing with depression so this medicine affected me negatively in less than 24 hours. It DID help with the nausea/vomiting, but at what cost? I stopped taking Reglan after 3 doses. The side affects are so terrible that I will not be taking it again. | F | 39 | 2 days | 6/5/2006 | 1 | extreme GERD | Breast milk production - I've never been pregnant a day in my life EVER. My breasts were so full of milk all the time that they were in pain and I was having to wear breast pads because of the lactation. I also experienced the anxiety and jitters and severe depression. | I wouldn't recommend it - there are just too many side effects. i switched to Nexium and feel much better. | F | 30 | 3 months | 6/9/2006 | 1 | For GORD | tired, lost interest in everything, hard to concentrate, sleeping excessively | taking 10mg at night. Took several months before symptoms started and gradually got worse. When came off took a week before I felt back to normal | F | 47 | 6 months | 6/12/2006 |
