| 1 | migraine | Was given in ER--SHEER PANIC, followed by uncontrollable movements. Was given benadryl and ativan to counteract, then felt like my brains had been scrambled--still not feeling quite right. | Don't take this drug. The side effects are awful. It should not be on the market. | F | 40 | 1 times | 5/26/2007 | 1 | GURD | Severe agitation, nervousness, depression, unable to sleep, diarrhea, tingly fingers. | I took Reglan for 3 months without problem, then started having severe problems. Like others, I attributed it to stress in my life and consulted a psychiatrist. Not feeling any better, I found this site and the light bulb went off. Thanks to the many people who have posted. I am now in Day 3 of detox from this awful drug and I hope to feel human again soon. | F | 51 | 100 days | 5/30/2007 | 1 | gastroparesis | extreme fatique, lack of appetite(felt sick), depression | Worst medicine ever. Only took two tablets and I could not function. It took two days to get out of my system.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN! I have been off Reglan for almost three months and, although a lot of my symptoms have improved, I am still not myself. I feel like I have seen Hell on earth and would urge anyone and everyone to stay away from this medication. | F | 33 | 3 months | 6/7/2007 | 1 | heartburn | stiffness and muscle cramps for a half year! it did help the heartburn significantly but at a great cost. will not take again for fear of doing more permanent damage. my musle cramps are now gone, and the heartburn is back--i'm going to try some other approaches for that. if you take milk thistle as a supplement, don't take reglan, as it may slow down the rate at which you eliminate it. | M | 30 | 2 days | 6/9/2007 | 1 | nausia after child birth | I thought I was going to die!!! Severe anxiety! thoughts of jumping out the hospital window! Felt like something was crawling under my skin, never felt so horrible in my life, It was like I felt completely psychotic!!! It totally ruined the time I had with my newborn after childbirth and I coudnt even hold or feed my precious infant for hours afterwards! I was so freaking pi$$ed off I cant even tell you!!! | I now know that IM not alone with this and wonder how we can start a class action lawsuit against the manufactuars of this drug. Also, I feel absolutely worried and sorry for the poor infants whos parents cant "read" them the way some of you can and who give this drug to babies who cant talk and let them know the hell and torture they are going through. | F | 36 | 1 days | 6/9/2007 | 1 | nausea | tremor,anxiety,servere depression,bodily twitching,fatigue,involantry movements. | DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DEBILITATING DRUG!! WARNING!! | F | 40 | 6 months | 6/10/2007 | 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. The worst of these symptoms didn't even start until I had taken it for a couple of months. That's why I never thought it could be side effects. | F | 46 | 4 months | 6/13/2007 | 1 | ER surgery for obstructed bowel | Previously submitted. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. IT IS LETHAL! | I would be willing to consider a class action suit against this drug. It's been 5 days since I quit taking it and I am still feeling withdrawl.

I then noticed the hand/finger and jaw movements. I feel like I've had a nervous breakdown. I haven't been able to go to work and struggle through everyday tasks. I called my physician and have been off Reglan for almost a week. I've felt no improvement. Does anyone know how long it takes to get out of your system? I'm scared of the effect this is having on my life. | F | 48 | 8 weeks | 6/18/2007 | 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. I wish I had never even heard of Reglan; to make matters worse the doctor that prescribed the Reglan says he has never heard of an | M | 45 | 10 months | 7/2/2007 | 1 | IBS (Consitpation) | Sleeplessness, sadness, body shaking, eventually pain in the left side of my chest only, dizziness. | I began taking this medicine once a day 2 weeks ago. I didn't put together at the time that the medicine was causing me to have trouble sleeping. After one week, I called the doctor and told him that it was not working for my constipation. they told me to increase to taking up to FOUR pills at one time. Fortunately, I did not take their advice and only took a total of 5 pills that day. By lunch time, my whole body was shaking, the left side of my chest felt tight and hurt and even my left arm and leg tingled....I was up until 3 am that night because my chest and blood pressure were bothering (and WORRYING me so much). It's been 3 days since I've been off the medicine and I ended up calling 911 last night because the pain was so severe - I thought I was about to have a heart attack or something. It was EXTREMELY scary. This medicine is evil and I'm pissed that my doctor didn't warn me that this medicine could take a while to get out of my symptoms and that the side effects may co | F | 27 | 8 days | 7/6/2007 | 1 | Reflux and undigested food | Nighttime twitching and jitters. | My 14 year old (weighing only 53lbs.) was prescribed this drug after digestion complications arose after a spinal fusion surgery. It caused her much restlessness and sleepless nights, resulting in scratched corneas when her eyes dried from not resting enough. | F | 14 | 30 days | 7/7/2007 | 1 | Nausea | Jaw lock to the point where my mouth was wide open and I thought my mouth might tear, eyes rolling in my head, couldn't hold up my neck, tingling in my arms and face. | I would never take this medicine again. Within 24 hours of taking it I was rushed to hospital and given an anti-drug to get it out of my system. For nearly a week after the incident I was hallucinating, had no memory and generally didn't know where I was. | F | 27 | 1 days | 7/11/2007 | 1 | achalasia | I had a dystonic reaction that resulted in me losing COMPLETE control of my neck muscules. My head went as far back as it could. Thank goodness i was in a hospital when it happened. | it is awful awful awful!!!! if one researches this drug further they will find far more people have problems with this drug than they have success. the possible side effects are just too dangerous and not worth the risk. its a scarey drug that is too loosely prescribed. | M | 15 | 5 days | 7/12/2007 | 1 | GI problems | Sheer terror.I felt totally pyscotic and full of anxiety.I paced the floor for 5 hours, took a shower, cleaned my house and could not sit down with a surge of extreme crawling out of my skin feeling. My husband finally took me to the ER and they gave me ativan(by shot) because i told them if they didn't do something quickly i was going to lose it.The doctor said this drug was notoriously known to cause this out of body experieneces, extreme aggitation, and skin crawling. I had to return to the ER today and they told me to increase the clonazepam ( antianxiety med)and continue to take it until the side effects subsibe | M | 41 | 1 days | 7/15/2007 | 1 | gastritis due to GERD | extremely drowsy, unable to perform work duties, such as driving, paying attention and staying awake. | THIS WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WHILE USING A MEDICATION FOR ONLY 1 DAY. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE, I WAS UNABLE TO DO. IT HAD ME FEELING LIKE A ZOMBE. EXTREMELY DROWSY AND INCOHERENT.THE FEELING WAS UNBEARABLE BUT MY SYMPTOMS WERE RELIEVED. I'D RATHER BE SICK THAN TAKE THIS MEDICATIONS. ALSO, THIS MED DOES NOT GO WELL WITH ONE WHO HAS HYPERTENSION, TAKING XANAX AND LONG TERM USE OVER 12 WEEKS, WHAT HAPPENS THEN AFTER 12 WEEKS IF SYMPTOMS OCCUR? NOT A GOOD DRUG TO TAKE. MY DOCTOR ADVISED ME TO REDUCE MY DOSE TO 1 EVERY NIGHT INSTEAD OF 1 4X A DAY. I DID'T THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA EITHER, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I TAKE MY XANAX B4 BED, AND THEY DON'T MIX WELL TOGETHER. THEN HE SAID TO TAKE HALF OF MY XANAX AND 2 HRS LATER TAKE THE REGLAN. I'M AFRAID TO DECREASE MY XANAX BECAUSE I JUST STARTED TO WING MYSELF OFF OF IT AND DONT WANT TO DECREASE NO MORE JUST YET. BAD ENOUGH THE SIDE AFFECTS ARE DEPRESSION AND ANIXETY, I HAVE THAT ALREADY. IM AFRAID I MIGHT LOOSE MY MIND W | F | 41 | 1 days | 7/19/2007 | 1 | nausea | I was 19 and my doctor prescribed this for nausea. Within a couple of days I had a horrible parkisons type reaction. I had involuntary jaw/facial movements. Then it spread to my tongue! I felt like a cow with mad cows disease. It lasted for many hours. It was a painful and scary experience. | M | 34 | 4 days | 7/21/2007 | 1 | DR. GAVE IT TO ME IN THE ER. | LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER, AFTER BEING GIVEN AN INJECTION OF 10MG. REGLAN, I STARTED HAVING SEVERE MOVEMENTS OF MY ARMS AND LEGS. MY ANXIETY INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. THE STAFF HINTED TO THE PSYCHIATRIST THAT THEY THOUGHT I WAS A "DRUG SEEKER". I GUESS THEY THOUGHT I WAS HAVING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. THIS LASTED FOR AN HOUR WHERE I WAS LEFT TO SIT ALONE WHILE TRYING TO FILL OUT PAPERWORK. SINCE I WAS NOT TOLD WHAT I HAD BEEN GIVEN IN THE ER, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I HAD GOTTEN UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I ASKED FOR AN ITEMIZED STATEMENT. I LOOKED THIS MED. UP AND THEN REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PARTICULAR HOSPITAL. I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. | I ONLY HAD 1 INJECTION OF REGLAN AND IT DID THIS TO ME. | F | 62 | 1 days | 7/22/2007 | 1 | nausea; pancreatitis | A friend of mine was given this years ago for nausea caused by drug reactions, and wound up with tardive dyskinesia (uncontrollable movements of limbs.) More recently, he was given this drug again when he developed life-threatening nausea due to pancreatitis. THIS WAS IN SPITE OF CLEAR WARNINGS IN PHARMACEUTICAL TEXTBOOKS AGAINST RE-ADMINISTRATION OF THE DRUG. He developed muscle rigidity, dementia, high white blood cell count, weakness, heart problems and disorientation. He is only 56 years old, and now has the memory of someone with moderately advanced Alzheimer's. | THIS DRUG IS ACTUALLY AN ANTIPSYCHOTIC!!!IT CAN CAUSE TARDIVE DYSKINESIA, WHICH IS OFTEN PERMANENT. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME, WHICH CAN CAUSE PERMANENT MEMORY LOSS AND CAN BE FATAL! I am not sure how long he took this drug the first time; the second time he was only on it for a couple of days. | M | 56 | | 7/29/2007 |
