| 1 | acid refulx | I was taking reglan for around 7 weeks to 8 weeks. Lately I have felt very nervous and anxious. I am also very depressed and do not care about anything, this is not my usual mood. I have stopped taking the drug all together and do not plan to take it again. I would rather have acid reflux then feel so bad. | How long does it take to get over taking this awful drug? Any helpful hints? Please advise | M | 32 | 60 days | 11/7/2007 | 1 | digestive problems, constipation | hard to stay asleep, depression | I would highly recommend staying away from this drug. My doctor perscribed it for my digestive problems and the constipation I was experiencing. The medicine definitly works though the depression that came along with it was unbearable. Increased anixety and depression were the main side effects for me. I decided to take myself off it and I'm planning to tell my doctor of the side effects, who did not tell me of these. It doesn't seem like anyone knows about the dangers of this medicine. | M | 18 | 3 weeks | 11/12/2007 | 1 | increase milk production | restlessness, anxiety, extreme fatigue | I only took three doses of this medication before I began experiencing fatigue, restlessness, and anxiety. I felt like I couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did, and I felt on the verge of a panic attack. | F | 25 | 2 days | 11/13/2007 | 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 | For slow emptying of my stomach. | I was prescribe this drug by my GI doctor after many months of waiting for her to figure out what is wrong with me. Finally she came up with this. My stomach dosen't emptty as it should, I have suffered now for almost three years. I was given all the OTC drugs, but it just made me worse. I gained about 15 pounds and the pain just continued. I knew something was wrong with this drug and I am so thankful to look this up. One time in the ER I was given this med for nausea. It was the worse feeling I ever felt. I thought, I was going crazy. I couldn't even speak or think. Dont't take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's not worth it!!!!!!!!!! | I have Lupus as well and I deal with alot of problems. I am going to try colon hydrotherapy for my GI problems. It is so SAD how doctors prescribe such a dangerous drugs left and right, not caring that you already taking so many meds for other things. Thank you SO MUCH everyone this is the best place (website) to find out about meds. | F | 34 | 0 days | 11/22/2007 | 1 | Reflux GERD | Loss of appetite, Deep Depression, Gloomy Doomy Thoughts, Talking like wanting to just give up on life talking like its over and the grim reaper if close, Insomnia, Tiredness, Slow movement, total loss of energy to the point of not wanting to even talk!! Confusion, Irritability, Blank or mask apperance to face, face droopy or lack of facial expresion. | I found this site tying to help find out why my 75 year old father Has taken a fast turn for the worst all within 6 weeks of starting Reglan! He had just started remodeling a duplex he ownes when he started this drug for bad reflux that was breaking through the protonix he has been taking for several months now. Within a few days he started complaining about being tired more so than usual. I thought it was from being 75 and not doing as much as he used to then taking on this home repair?? This has gone on for 6 weeks then within a couple of weeks he has just gone down hill fast to being just about out of it!! He is very depressed very slow in movement and speach, dosen't want to eat. He cant make any decisions he just sits there saying things like I wish I felt better, Im old and feel like the grim reaper is just behind me?? He has a blank cold look on his face. My dad is usually very on top of his game!! Active alert and never depressed!!! after just a few munites of research I have a | M | 46 | 42 days | 11/22/2007 | 1 | After appendicitis | I had appendicitis and had the appendix removed... the next day after surgery my back was so twisted. I sweated so much that I soaked though the blankets and I felt like I had a hose run over me. I could not use the bathroom because my back arched so much that I couldnt sit down to go. It was not till I passed out that they finally figured out what was wrong. I felt better 10 seconds after getting the other medication... It is so scary though and now that I work around it I sometimes wonder if will happen to someone else while I am there. The fact that they use it on infants scares me and I sometimes wonder what the Dr. is thinking. | Please please read the side effects before taking a med. and talk them over with your Dr. It might just save your life. | F | 24 | 2 days | 11/29/2007 | 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 | 1 | GERD | Depression with terrible panic attacks which I still suffer from. It was prescribed for me for chronic indigestiion due to the CREST syndrome. An Upper GI physician prescribed it. When I told my family doctor about the depression, he told me to immediately stop taking it and commented that it should be taken off the market. | I would never take this drug again. | F | 61 | 365 days | 12/4/2007 | 2 | Gerd, Esp bad upon rising in AM. | On dosage of 20 mg/day (5 mg thirty minutes before meals and at bedtime): severe diarrhea(at least 15 urgent bowel movements daily, soiling of underwear), extreme eye dryness, twitching of lower eyelid of left eye. | These symptoms slowly developed over first 3 weeks of use. When I called the Dr' office, I was NOT told of the possibility that they were side effects of the Reglan, and to take OTC diarrhea medication. I am stopping the Reglan on my own, even though my GERD is not fully controlled by 30mg Prevacid in the AM, and 40 mg famotidine at night, plus bed slanted over 8 inches). | F | 69 | 6 weeks | 12/6/2007 | 5 | gastroparesis | Mild leg twitches and jitteriness that subsided as my body got used to the medication. | 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. Before Reglan food could sit in my stomach for up to nine hours; occasionally causing me to get so sick that I would end up in the ER. It definitely helps with the nausea too. | F | 40 | 2 years | 12/23/2007 | 1 | Miagraine | Panic attack, suicidal thoughts | DO NOT take this medicine. I was given Reglan IV for my miagraine in the ER. I immediatly became panic. I didn't know what to do with myself. I was given Benadryl to counteract the side effect. | F | 30 | | 12/26/2007 | 1 | nausea from early pregnancy | I was having nausea and was given Reglan via iv. Shortly, I began to feel crazy like I didn't wanna be here, I wanted to schedule an immediate D&C (abortion) and I couldn't stop pacing the floors. I just wanted to be home where I could feel safe. | I begged the nurse to take it out. I felt trapped under the Reglan influence and something made me KNOW it was the Reglan. They took it out and offered Benedryl. I refused. I was prescribed Zofran for my nausea and was sent home. Zofran is a miracle and I wish they had given me that first! DOWN WITH REGLAN!!! DO not take it!!! | F | 33 | 1 days | 12/26/2007 | 1 | acid reflux | Mind and body numbing anxiety. | Be VERY careful about taking this drug, especially if you have a history of anxiety and/or depression. I took 5 mg./day for 2 weeks then 10 mg/day for the next 2 weeks. I became more irritable than usual so cut back the dose but it was too late. After 1 more week I went off completely and plunged into the worst anxiety I've ever experienced; it was a nightmare. After much trial and error with different anti-anxiety meds my PC doctor prescribed 5 mg./day of Zyprexa which is normally used for bi-polar disorders. It helped almost immediately; my doc said I should be able to go off it after a week or so. | F | 52 | 5 weeks | 1/3/2008 | 1 | reflux / morning sickness | My daughter was prescribed this med at 2 days old because of a SEVERE reflux problem. She had to take Reglan and Nexium before every meal (5-6 times a day) for the first 9 months of her life. We had no known side effects at the time...over the next couple of years she had major language delays and sensory issues. When I was pregnant with my last child I was extremely sick. So sick that Zofran would not work on its own. After a hospital stay because of dehydration my OB prescribed home health care and a reglan pump as well as Zofran. The combination worked. Again I had no known side effects. My concern is that I have 4 children two of the four are very intelligent ( not being obnoxious - things just come very easy for them.) The other two who both had reglan either directly our through my pregnancy have major language delays. The older of the two has been diagnosed with Sensory integration disorder, auditory processing disorder, visual processing disorder and a severe expressiv | I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that has had a similar situation with this medication and their children? If so please e-mail me or post here. Something should be done about these kinds of medicines. | F | 38 | 9 days | 1/15/2008 | 1 | increase milk production | Severe anxiety and depression. | I had been taking Reglan for a period of time before noticing the depression and anxiety creaping up. 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. I find this drug to be HORRIBLE and would not advise taking it! | F | 31 | 4 months | 1/15/2008 | 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 | 1 | moring sickness | felt out of my head! felt like i was out of my mind! It took about 5 hours and i only took 1/2 a dose! | Needs to have a big warning on each bottle! It was awful!!!! | F | 31 | 1 days | 1/20/2008 | 4 | Gastroparesis | None noted | Have not had a single problem with it, but I only take 10mg once a day or as needed. I have not taken more than 20mg at a time so far. | M | 42 | 6 months | 1/24/2008 | 1 | Stomach Virus | After only taking a small dose I experienced severe depression, complete insomnia, the side effects took several months to get over and were significantly worse than the stomach virus | DO NOT TAKE REGLAN! DOCTOR'S AREN'T SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY WILL SOON ENOUGH. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS! | F | 25 | 2 days | 1/26/2008 |
