| 1 | Nausea during Chemotheraphy | Was prescribed this drug in June 2008, and immediately started having problems with my teeth being sensitive, involuntary tongue and mouth movement, anxiety and trouble sleeping. I took the generic form (metoclopramide) of Reglan, not because I requested it, but because unless your physician specifically orders Reglan, the pharmacy gives you generic, which is a cost savings to the insurance company. Anyway, now it is March 2012, and these symptoms continue. I only took the drug for three months while taking chemo, but it seems that I will have a lifetime of dealing with the side effects. I have been diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia, and am on two drugs, Hydrocodone for pain in my mouth (feels like a really bad tooth ache), and Ativan for anxiety (caused by the constant pain). Also, I use a sleeping aid in order to relieve myself of at least 8 hours without the pain and anxiety. Needless to say, I highly recommend anyone research this drug before taking it. It will save you a li | I would not recommend this drug to anyone. It is especially hard on females who are considered "elderly" (whatever that age may mean). I was 63 when it was prescribed. It is a dangerous drug, and is given to all ages. Just be careful. | F | 67 | 90 days 20 MG 4X day | 3/3/2012 | 1 | low milk supply | I started off taking 1 pill, 2 on day & by the time I got to 3 on Day 3 that was all it took to cause severe exhaustion, disorientation, tongue twitching, headaches, drooling (ER thought I had a stroke) Nope just took this horrible drug which when I stopped it made my supply worst. Get domperidone if you must, BUT DO NOT take Reglan. | I would NEVER recommend taking this drug to any one. | F | 36 | 4 days 30mg 3X day | 2/29/2012 | 1 | gastroparesis | Panic attacks, extreme anxiety, irrational thoughts, muscle tension, spazzed out, zoned out | F | 17 | 3 days | 2/14/2012 | 1 | Low milk supply | After 4 days of taking the medication I began having severe anxiety attacks, heart racing...I felt in a constant state of panic. This medicine is frequently given to women after childbirth to help with breast feeding. PLEASE DO NOT take this medicine after childbirth! Racing hormones that follow childbirth do NOT mix well with this medication. | F | 28 | 7 days 1X day | 2/14/2012 | 1 | GERD | After 9 days on Reglan, I began to notice the onset of depression. By the 14th day, I was in a severe depression to the point where I couldn't stand to get out of bed and I cried all day and all night. I was sent to a psychiatrist - when I told him about the Reglan, he said he saw at least 4 patients per month with Reglan-related severe depression. He told me to stop taking it immediately and to dispose of it. I did. In three days, my depression began to lift and, within a week, the depression was gone. | Don't take this drug!!! There are other drugs on the market that work just as well without horrible side effects! | F | 64 | 14 days 30 mg. 1X day | 2/13/2012 | 1 | Migraine headache with vomiting | SOON AS IT WAS GIVING TO ME IN THE E.R .....

By the end of the day I had had a full-blown migraine with weakness in my hands, altered sight, slurred speech and head pain. Plus anxiety. I will never take this again! | F | 30 | 1 days ? | 1/10/2012 | 2 | Migraine | Given it in IV in the ER with Benedryl. Throat burned feel. Jittery and dizzy 2 days later. Feels like my heart is beating out of my chest. Not feelIng like myself at all. | F | 52 | 1 days IV | 12/31/2011 | 5 | GERD | ANIEXTY, I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY MIND. UNCONTROLLABLE MOVEMENT IN LEGS. COULD NOT SLEEP, UP EVERY TWO HOURS. I KEPT PACING THE FLOOR OVER AND OVER. THIS WAS HORRIBLE. THE ER GAVE ME THE MED. I WENT TO MY GASTRO TWO DAYS LATER, AND HE KNEW WHAT I HAD BEEN TAKING BEFORE I SHOWED HIM THE BOTTLE. HE POLIETLY TOOK THE PILL BOTTLE FROM ME AND DISPOSED OF THEM. HE ADVISED THAT THIS TYPE OF REACTION IN THIAT DRUG EFFECTS ABOUT 25% WHO TAKE IT THAT IS WHY HE DOES NOT PRESCRIBE IT. HE ADVISED HE STUDIED REGLAN EXTENSIVELY. | F | 47 | 2 days 10ng 2X day | 12/20/2011 | 1 | suspected gastroparesis | After 2 months began to notice my eyelids felt heavy, thought nothing of it until my right leg started twitching so bad i couldnt sleep. Twitching has moved on to my cheeks, jaw, tongue and arms. Stopped taking reglan and some of the symptoms have slowed but still have what feels like restless leg, still have some cheek twitching. hope it goes away | It does what it's supposed to do but the side effects suck and i wouldnt recommend this drug. | M | 37 | 9 weeks 10 mg 3X day | 12/18/2011 | 3 | severe GERD ( laryngopharygeal type | worked great for my reflux but still had coughing/vomiting spells...last night had tardive dyskinesia for first time and it scared me to death! | I had 50-60 twitvches in my head, neck and shoulders after having just been to the GI doctor 3 weeks ago worried about nexium causing osteoporosis ( I already have bad discs) and his comment was he wouldnt worry abuot te nexium as much as the reglan causing TD.... I had been on it so long I figured if that was going to happen it would have by now!! Boy was I wrong- It scared me to pieces- I do have depression and anxiety and panic attaxks and they have gotten worse over the years I have taken Reglan but never put two and two together!! It is possible all this has been side effects of the Reglan!!!- Do not take this drug longer than 12 weeks... I mean who do I sue? the drug manufacturer SAYS not to take it longer than 12 weeks yet drs all over are still prescribing it long term knowing the side effects!!! I dont want to sue my GI doc because he is great but I stopped the Reglan today- hoping to manage my GERD with just the nexium ( or something else if I am getting osteoporosis,.)... | F | 41 | 8 years 10 mg 4X day | 12/12/2011 | 1 | nausea | Insomnia, Parkinson symptoms, depression, suicidal thoughts, muscle twitching, ratchet movement in joints, depersonalization, fear, memory loss, concentration loss, emotionless, dyskenesia, desperation, restlessness, retching..the list goes on.. | I took this in 06 and am still having problems now, some doctors do not know the danger of this drug..DO NOT TAKE IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISKS, been on numerous anti depressants, diazepam, psychiatrist..ETC.. | F | 44 | 8 months 2X day | 12/3/2011 | 1 | Migraine | Insomnia, anxiety, muscle twitching, restlessness, panic | F | 32 | 1 days IV | 11/22/2011 | 1 | GERD | Anxiety, extreme fatigue, decreased concentration | I took reglan 5 years ago for gerd and it worked well, without any side effects. This time I anticipated similar results. It works wonderfully to control the gerd, but the fatigue and anxiety over nothing started to set in at around 10 days of dosing. This med is too unpredictable and I would not recommend it. I am thankful I did not have any muscular/ neurological symptoms and feel for those of you who do. | F | 60 | 3 weeks 10 mg 2X day | 11/21/2011 | 1 | Didn't take yet | I love this site so freakin much!

May our savior Jesus Christ be with you and heal your bodies and minds. | M | 22 | 0 days 0 1X day | 10/23/2011 | 1 | given by iv before sedation | I was given reglan by iv before sedation for a surgical procedure b/c I have acid relfux and the dr. said it would help to keep the acid out of my throat during the surgery. Immediately after the iv was given my jaw locked shut. I couldn't open my mouth or talk. I also experienced SEVERE anxiety. I wanted to jump out of my skin. I was given benadryl to counteract it. When I could communicate, I told the dr. I could not go thru with the surgery. I was out of my mind with anxiety. The dr. told me that I was "allergic to it". Several days later, I began experiencing unvoluntary movements of my hands, arms, and legs. That was 2 years ago and I am still dealing with the effects | I am thinking of suing...I don't know...please don't take reglan! | F | 47 | 1 days 1X day | 10/13/2011 | 1 | Hospitalized; Nausea & Headache | chest pain, tightness of chest, heart racing, panicking, restlessness, incomprehensible speech, mild itchiness. | Immediately after Reglan was put in my IV, I felt like I was going to die. My heart was racing and my chest hurt so bad I was screaming and crying. I was freaking out and felt like I needed to get out of the hospital bed and also when I spoke I often didn't know what I was trying to say. The nurse took my blood pressure and it was 128/64 when just 5 minutes before it was 92/60 (I've never been in the hundreds in my life). My body felt like it wasn't my own. It wasn't until the dose was done that my symptoms slowly subsided. | F | 21 | 1 days 1X day | 10/7/2011 | 1 | Gerd | Lost my zest for life. | Withdrawal symptoms are terrible.
