| 1 | Gastroparesis | Severe spasms in ribs, stomach, chest. Edema behind eyes and right temple. Shortness of breath. Headache, tics on right side of body-arm and head.Short term memory, feeling like you are going to lose it. Heart racing, nausea. Unconscious, elevated BP, elevated Heart rate, panic attack. | This drug needs to be removed from the FDA. It is a dangerous drug that not even rats should be given. I wound up in the ER and stayed a couple of days. If the doctor was not at my bedside and knew what was happening, I would be dead today.They would have treated me for a stroke because my BP went to 180 and my heart rate went to 160 but he gave me BENYDRAl rate away. It is scary when you know you are dying and see in the distance a door with the brightest light! From all this mess I now have seizures which I never ever had in my life which I now attribute to REGLAN. TAKE THIS OFF THE MARKET, SO OTHERS WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE. | F | 55 | 2 weeks | 2/5/2008 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Dizziness, restlessness, fatigue, insomnia, nervousness, hot flashes, muscle spasms and leg twitches. | Doctor prescribed this medication without any warning about side effects. I was prescribed Reglan for Gastroparesis. It helped my stomach but caused several side effects that were making me crazy. I later learned that these side effects can become permanent even after you stop taking Reglan. Use extreme caution in taking this medicine. It works for some people but beware of side effects that could become dangerously life altering. | F | 25 | 5 days | 2/10/2008 | 1 | Increase Milk production | anxiety, panic attack like episodes, depression, dizziness, foggy feeling, unexplained crying, fatigue, jittery, insomnia, twitching, shakiness, high blood pressure, thoughts of wanting to harm myself, leg pain, jaw tooth pain, feeling of doom/ death; blurry vision, dry mouth, confusion, irritability, afraid to be alone, episodes of passing out | I had a very traumatic birth of twins and following an icu stay, and was experiencing a low milk supply when the babies came home; ob prescribed regaln, however DID NOT WARN OF ANY OF THESE SIDE EFFECTS; i was not a good candidate to take this medication as i was experiencing some post traumatic stress disorder symptoms, but this medication severely intensified them. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS MEDICATION THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DESCRIBED TO POTENTIAL PATIENTS. When I stopped taking the medication, the symptoms seemed to get better immediately, though they were not gone completely. The babies also became increasingly more fussy as time went on, as they were getting more of the medication through the breast milk. How long does it take to feel better? Has anyone successfully sued or otherwise held their h/c provider responsible for prescribing this medication w/o proper description? | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 2/18/2008 | 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 | Close relative took the drug. | Anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping. | This is my second posting to this site. Has anyone found an enlightened physician or mental health provider that, first of all, acknowledges the side effects of Reglan and, secondly, has had success in the treatment of the side effects of the Reglan after a patient reacts to Reglan and discontinues using it? Thanks for any doctor names and contact information. | F | 60 | 6 months | 3/7/2008 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Depression,anxiety,panic attacks,insomnia,restlessness,suicidal thoughts,confusion,twitching,dry mouth,hot flashes,inability to carrying on conversations,fear of crowds,fear of being alone | I was pregnant and put on this for reflux. I went from being a happy,confident,passionate wife and mother-to-be to an invalid that had to be watched and cared for 24 hours a day for over two months. I wanted to end my life and destroy the baby inside of me. We were never warned of the side effects by the docs. or on the script. bottle. I came off it after 4 weeks and with the help of Zoloft I'm doing better. It's been 10 months and I still have anxiety of coming of the Zoloft for fear of relapsing. Luckily, this evil drug did not stop me from falling madly inlove with my beautiful 7mth old daughter, but it did rob me from enjoy her growing and kicking inside of me. This drug is dangerous and my family would like to see it taken off the market. If anyone is interested in a class action suit, please email because this drug warrants it!!! | F | 32 | 4 weeks | 3/9/2008 | 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 am a RN and I am just glad I was blessed with the knowledge to intervene. My Mother has no history of Parkinsons. It can happen to you becareful! | F | 65 | 4 months | 3/11/2008 | 1 | Acid Reflux Disease | anxiety, depression, nausea, tremors, diarrhea | Reglan is horrible, it cause extremely bad side effects, I wouldn't recommend ever taking this drug. | F | 3 weeks | 3/14/2008 | 1 | chronic nausea | SEVERE DEPRESSION, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, ANXIETY, feeling like i didnt want to be alive anymore, feeling like i would never be happy again, my neck would jerk backwards and i couldnt control it, bad vision, COMPLETE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | never ever ever take this medicine! im glad i got off it quickly and got a shot of benadryl which made the side effects a little bettter. this is THE WORSE DRUG possibly on the market. | F | 18 | 2 days | 3/14/2008 | 1 | nausea/vomiting | Full blown unbearable restlessness and anxiety after IV reglan in the E.R. Now days later I am back to square one with anxiety and depression that was resolved 15 years ago. | Please, under no circumstances take this drug if you have a history of anxiety/depression. I was in no condition to research this drug at the time. Wish I had been warned. | M | 55 | 1 times | 3/19/2008 | 1 | Acid Reflux | UPDATE for users: This stuff should have skull and crossbones on it. I posted an email on 4/16/07 about this drug and how its effects on me. You may wish to scroll back and read my posting. Fortunately I suffered no long term effects from this (poison). It is unbelievable it is still on the market. It took me almost 8 months for all the physical and mental symptoms to abate. I thought it might be helpful to some of you fellow suffers for me to post the drugs that I used to finally beat this thing. The drugs mentioned below were prescribed by my primary care physician and later by a phycharist. He said it was one of the most troublesome drugs on the market. I did not file a lawsuit. Fortunately the physical symptoms were mild in my case ( trembleing of my left hand and facial masking. They went away after about 3 weeks but the depression, crying,and anxiety took about eight months to completely disappear. I took the medicines listed below from April of 2007 until September of 2007. | M | 60 | 90 days | 3/22/2008 | 1 | In Hsp for migraine | Extreme anxiety, crawling skin, severe diarrhea, insomnia, depression, twilight feeling, not myself, head and neck shaking and nausea, suicidal thoughts! | I was given reglan while in hsp for DHE to handle my migraines in 2006. Within an hour after first IV dose i felt all of the symptoms, and nurses kept saying they did not know why. Arrived in the Hsp in the am for an inpt stay and did not sleep until 6am the next day. Was suppose to stay for one week, but due to the symptoms checked out the very next day! When i saw my neuro she said " oh it was the reglan" like nothing. One month later after being off of it had a complete breakdown, w/all symptoms and have been going to my doc ever since to figure out what is wrong. It is now TWO years later and i still experience all symptoms, had the same breakdown last year as well. I just looked up reglan and cannot believe that this is what it is. Have not been the same since, i have never been depressed, or anxious and i am somewhat relieved that i am NOT crazy and know that i am not the only one, but this is Disgusting to think that DOCTORS are giving this medication and taking li | F | 36 | 1 days | 3/24/2008 | 5 | gastroparesis | I have experienced no known side effects. It's been a life safer for me, I'm still eating food! | 2 years | 3/27/2008 | 1 | My dad was taking for it two years...it is awful, severe depression, tremors, sleeplessness...this is a drug that should have only be prescribed for 4-6 weeks and was on it for two years until his family took control of his situation.It ruined my dad's life for two years. | F | 30 | 2 years | 3/27/2008 | 1 | gastroparesis | While it worked in the beginning, I later developed severe side affects that put me in the emergency room twice. Weakness, muscle fatigue, chills, disorientation (thought I was from Mars), etc. | I think it works for some people, but I simply cannot take the drug due to the serious side affects they warn you about in the literature. I would be very careful with this drug. | F | 52 | 14 days | 3/28/2008 | 5 | Nausea from migraines | None | I don't take much - 10 mg at early onset of migraine. No orblems at all with a low dose | M | 54 | | 3/30/2008 | 2 | Severe reflux, Hernia | Made me start LACTATING! I was FULL of BREAST MILK! | I have 3 kids and had my tubes tied 4 years ago, imagine my surprise when milk started pouring out of my breasts!! But maybe it was a blessing in disquise, after reading all the other comments, it seems I got off pretty easy!! | F | 33 | 1.5 months | 4/10/2008 | 1 | morning sickness | Severe Anxiety, feeling as if I want to jump out of my skin | made me feel better but not worth it!!!!!! | F | 34 | 1 weeks | 4/15/2008 | 1 | bloating | Anxiety, depression, confusion, suicidal thoughts, feelings of worthlessness, short term memory loss, high blood pressure, elevated pulse...... | Terrible drug. Took for 3 - 4 10mg tablets a day for 10 months. Prescribing Dr. did not mention side effects. I have been off of it now for 6 weeks and been on Celexa for 4 weeks. Anxiety persists. 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 | to increase breastmilk production | depression, anxiety, sleeplessness | I was prescribed Reglan to increase milk production... while it did work very well for this purpose, it also resulted in me spiraling into a depression -- something I have never before experienced. After researching the drug (and finding this site) I stopped taking the drug, and began to feel better almost immediately. A few weeks later (after my milk supply began to dry up) I figured I'd give it another shot, just to make sure that I hadn't simply been experiencing normal postpartum feelings. Within a day of taking the drug, I started to feel horribly depressed again, and that's when it became abundantly clear to me that I could not tolerate this drug. I haven't taken it since. | F | 39 | 6 weeks | 4/22/2008 |
