| 2 | Gastroparesis | Burning/stabbing joint pain, restless legs during day that transitioned to all-out thrashing at night, electrical "buzzing" feeling up and down legs/arms/back of head, itchy feet, anxiety, severe insomnia, total loss of motivation to be productive, complete loss of sex drive | Does this medication stimulate my stomach to overcome its paralysis and force food through into my intestinal tract? Yes. Am I going to approach my doctors tomorrow and tell them to install a feeding tube because I refuse to take Reglan anymore due to the horrific side effects (and due to Domperidone not working for me)? Yup. I've had a lot of serious health problems, but nothing has been as difficult to deal with emotionally and psychologically like the side effects from Reglan. I'd rather go through cancer treatment again a thousand times over than EVER use this drug again. My advice: if you take it once and immediately feel like you're going to jump out of your skin (or at least can run laps despite being ill), tell your doctors immediately, drink as much water as possible for the following week to flush it out of your system, and list it as a severe drug allergy with all of your medical providers. At this point I'm just hoping the damage isn't permanent. | F | 30 | 20 days 10 2X day | 4/29/2013 | 1 | To Increase Breast milk supply | Severe Depression, Suicidal, Forgetful, Loss of Sex Drive, Weight Gain, High Blood Sugar (Type 1 Diabetic), Rapid Heart Beat, Dry Mouth, Very Easily Agitated, Mood Swings, Tired yet Can't Sleep | I did Not experience these side effects before this medication. Some symptoms happened rapidly while others crept up and increased. I would NEVER recommend this medication. Sadly, I could not produce breast milk without it so that is why I didn't quit | F | 32 | 10 months 10 MG 1X day | 4/14/2013 | 1 | digestive disorder | Suicidal thoughts, akathesia, severe depression, severe anxiety, agorophobia, irritability, memory loss, zero appetite for 3 weeks | This medicine was prescribed to me almost 2 years ago. I have been through hell as everyone else describes, including a trip to the pshyc ward. I have made marked improvement but am forever changed. Before I took this drug, my life was amazing, now i struggle to drag myself out of the house. I have tried benzos, anti depressants, supplements and anyhting else that might have worked, and now I have to go through withdrawal from benzos that I had to take for over a year to be able to function. If you have recently been affected by this terrible nightmare of a drug, please try to take as little medicine as possible to get through it as I ahve learned that the meds that are meant to counteract this will put you through hell when you have to come off of them also. This drug should be illegal and its a shame that there is little that can be done to get it off the shelves. God bless all that are suffering | M | 30 | 45 days 10 mg 4X day | 3/28/2013 | 1 | Gastroperesis | Total mental breakdown, hallucinating. Could have locked me up in the psych ward | Never take this drug!! | F | 36 | 2 weeks 10 3X day | 3/27/2013 | 1 | GERD/Esophagus disorder | Loss of motivation, depression, anxiety. Loss of of creativity--I'm a musician/entertainer. | I was on on Reglan for a year or so. It was several years ago. I don't remember. I had been listless, without inspiration, anxious, feeling desperate. Difficult to function. I never dawned on me that it was the reglan. My GP, GI, Docs --even a couple of shrinks denied it was the reglan. I went through several antidepressants, benzos, alcohol (bad choice, I know). 3 (?) years later I struggle with alcohol and benzo dependence. I want to be my old creative, motivated self, can't afford rehab. this crap turned mt life upside down and the docs all denied it. | M | 62 | 2 years 20 1X day | 3/19/2013 | 3 | morning sickness | Horrible anxiety and diarrhea, lost weight, which I couln't afford to lose. Side effects went away about a month after stopping. Had to be on lexapro for another 6 months to feel normal again. Worked great for the constant nausea, but the side effects were not worth it. | F | 28 | 6 months 10 mg | 3/8/2013 | 1 | Migrane and stomach trouble | Racing heart! Couldn't collect my thoughts! Couldn't si still. NEVER take this. The docs brushed it off and just kept telling me it would pass. I needed ativan to calm down. | F | 36 | 1 days | 2/28/2013 | 1 | stomach upset after procedure done | AWFUL! eyes rolled back in my head and set to ceiling, awful leg movements could not stop, now years later still have leg movements when trying to sleep and sucking on lip! I would never take this again! And strongly advise anybody to ever take this, They need to take it of shelves!! | F | 30 | 1 days 1 pill! | 2/5/2013 | 1 | Migraine due to flu | SEVERE Insomnia, couldnt think straight, dry mouth, shaky... | I was given this bc I had become dehydrated from complications of the flu... I had headaches associated with it and didnt think anything of it as I have had this 3 times in the past.. I received this via IV and almost as soon as it hit my blood I started feeling horrible.. Even with the benadryl and toradol I still felt horrible. Only slept 6 hours that night and I am on day 5 afterwards and still having trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep... I have to take sleep aides and I have NEVER took meds like this before. I hate meds and this has really pushed me to hate them even more... Please feel free to email with any questions and what you have done to fix what his poison drug has done to u... I am praying this goes away quickly bc I have school and work and really cant afford to mess this semester up... | F | 28 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 1/26/2013 | 4 | severe migraine/nausea | virtually none, except some sedation, and discomfort at IV site. | I had never in my life had a migraine this severe. The Reglan IV with Toradol and Benadryl relieved the pain and vomiting in about 15 minutes. I am extremely grateful that this drug was available but after reading about TD and other potentially serious side effects and complications, I will hesitate to take it again. | F | 53 | 1 days 10mg IV 1X day | 1/6/2013 | 3 | Gastiopersis | Nothing yet. But I've been so deathly I'll from GP I had no choice. I'm only on it 1 more week out of 3. Has there ever been any good come from it. Any positive feed backs? Seems insomnia is all so far and a little twitch above right elbow. I was told my GP was caused by my long term marijuana use. I also lost like 30 pounds in 45 days and tried all meds and nothing worked. Does it ever fix anyone's GP? I've started putting the weight back on now. 850-376-2480. I'll listen to any doctor in here. This is my personal cell and would like to talk to GP patients. I'm just scared if I don't take it ill die for I was not able to hold anything down for a month. The doc said if this works I'll know in 24 hours. That was 10 Days ago and I take the med till jan 1st. Please email me or call me. | M | 46 | 9 days 3x daily | 12/18/2012 | 1 | breast feeding | To anyone suffering the effects of REGLAN. PLEASE DETOX YOUR BODY IMMEDIATELY. You have to take control of your health in order to get yourself BACK. Your body needs your help to heal itself. Get all the info you can about how to DETOXIFY your body. This drug is TOXIC. FLUSH IT AND IT'S ILL EFFECTS out of your system as quickly as you can. Look into a Juice Fast. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS OUT OF YOUR BODY. | F | 34 | 8 weeks .30 3X day | 12/14/2012 | 1 | migraine | Hell! I was given Raglan along with Benedril through an IV in the ER because I had such a severe migraine that I kept throwing up my normal medication (Zomig). The moment Reglan started entering my body, it felt like I was being filled with icy air. I thought there was an earthquake - the bed was shaking. Then I felt like my body was not solid anymore and the feeling was so horrible I felt like I was going to die... I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm; I started screaming; I had bad tachycardia and constant tremors. I kept crying: "Please make it stop!" The doctors gave me Ativan and sat by me for half an hour as I continued to writhe on the bed feeling like I wanted to crawl out of my skin or run, run, run... I thought I was going to either end up dead or in a psychiatric hospital. Doctors NEED to warn patients before giving them this nightmare of a drug!!! | F | 37 | 1 days 1X day | 12/12/2012 | 1 | only 2xs in hospital emergency for | pychotic reaction, tourture... | The second time in emergency I told the Dr. and he didnt believe me! He gave it to me anyway...durring and after my violent reaction he dissapeared... | F | 1X day | 12/3/2012 | 1 | stomach disorder | Started taking this due to a stomach illness. Was thrown into a suicidal depression. Never experienced any form of depression before. After finally linking it to the medicine I discontinued use. My big toe started twitching uncontrollably for weeks at a time. For longer and longer timespans. I took reglan in 2006. This is still occurring and doctors will not listen. The twitching has spread to my entire foot. DO NOT TAKE THIS. | M | 26 | 3 months | 12/3/2012 | 1 | acid indigestion, stomach clearing | Given it twice, different occasions, in hospital without knowing what it was. Immediately a horrible sense of anxiety and "coming out of skin" feeling. Hard to describe. Benadryl given, doctor said some people are 'allergic' to it. Weeks later still having sense of crawlies and 'fragile' emotions; like I'm on edge of losing it. | Perhaps worst sensation I have ever experienced. And I've had some doozies. Will NEVER take again. Wondering why the anxiety and fear are symptoms. Kind of understand the muscle crawlies: it causes stomach to empty fast, must stimulate muscles. CAN THE SYMPTOMS LAST INDEFINITELY? ANY ANTIDOTES??? | F | 47 | 2 days ? 2X O | 12/3/2012 | 1 | acid reflux | I started taking reglan last February at 20 years old because my doctor told me it would be good for my acid reflux.little did I know it was gonna ruin my life. In January I was a perfectly normal girl and by February everything changed.I started feeling extremely anxious and paranoid. Since it said on the bottle call your doctor immediately if worsening feelings of anxiety, depression, confusion, etc. Occur. So I did and he refused to believe it was because of reglan.I thought the symptoms would go away but they just got worse and worse. At the beginning I had daily panic attacks at night and extreme anxiety every day I also suffered a bout of depression. I would shake a lot and my fingers would move by themselves. It was all physical at first but then I started getting vivid thoughts, images, etc.I still have extreme anxiety and the symptoms that come along with it.I've been dealing with this for about 11 months now. It's the worst nightmare anyone can imagine and to think all of this started because I wanted to feel better and listened to my doctor. Stay as far away from reglan as possible it is an extremely dangerous drug!!! | F | 21 | 6 weeks | 11/28/2012 | 1 | Heartburn and acid indigestion | Horrendous and debilitating anxiety attacks combined with deep depression. My doctor refused to believe these side effects were due to this drug as they only appeared after I had stopped taking it. I have never felt like this in my life. I didn't move from my bed, other than to use the toilet, for a full week and it has taken me six weeks to recover. I have been taking Citalopram and Mirtzapine during this time and feel that these antidepressants have really helped me. To anyone suffering please believe it will go - during my worst time I thought it never would. | Do NOT take this drug. It is not worth the risk. | F | 66 | 2 months 10 mg 1X day | 11/22/2012 | 1 | gastroparesis | Severe headaches,high blood pressure,tics,seizure | I wound up in the ER with doctors thinking I had a migraine! My bp was 180/100 usually 120/80? Started having tics and getting agitated and finally started going bezerk and screaming. Doctor gave me antihistamine and sedative. EEG later showed I had a temporal lobe seizure from this dangerous med! This med is a very dangerous drug,this happened to me 4 yrs ago and the DEA has done nothing to take it off the market | F | 56 | 1 weeks 5mg 1X day | 10/16/2012 | 1 | increase breast milk | Update***I have cut out caffeine, aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. I was experiencing an improvement until I had a glass of wine day before yesterday, then again yesterday. I had a panic attack last night. Complete with suicidal thoughts. I have no desire to hurt myself, but I could picture it in my mind. This is no ME AT ALL. I am still pissed I ever took this drug and that my Dr doesn't believe me when I tell him this is the problem. Very glad I found this site where I can see in black and white that everything that has been happening for the past 2 months is not because I'm crazy, but because of this DIRTY DRUG that is being prescribed to nursing mothers. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU PUT A HORMONAL NEW MOTHER ON THIS HORRIBLE DRUG??? Good luck to everyone who is suffering. | This DRUG IS HORRIBLE. If you or anyone you love is ever prescribed this medication, immediately slap the shyt out of whoever tries to give it to you. Good luck to everyone living this nightmare. | F | 34 | 8 weeks 10 mg 3X day | 9/22/2012 |
