| 1 | CT scan | 5-10 minutes after being given Reglan via IV I began to feel incredibly anxious and paranoid. I experienced uncontrollable movements of my arms, legs and neck in addition to extreme and sudden agitation. Benedryl cured the worst of those symptoms but 5 days later my muscles tense uncontrollably, I'm tired and I have a seemingly endless migraine. | Even though I had been given this medication before in the ER I think that the allergic reaction may have been hidden by the symptoms that brought me to the ER in the first place. | F | 27 | 1 times 10-15mg 1X day | 3/6/2010 | 1 | GERD delayed gastric empting | My daughter started reglan when she was about 4 months it didnt really help so the dr. raised the dose. Thats when she started have jerking movement in her neck and twitching in her face. I will never allow my child to take this drug again. I hope anyone reading this thinking of putting their child on this drug would never consider it. Its awful my daughter couldnt tell me how she was feeling but I know how she looked and it was scarry aand horriable no child should ever be put on this! | F | 1 | 6 months 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Nausea | After 24 hours of taking this drug, I started to feel very odd. My jaw locked open and my eyes rolled back into my head. I was taken to the E.R. where I began to seize after standing up. After being examined, the doctor said that the Reglan had paralyzed my central nervous system. I was in the hospital for quite some time as they pumped the drug out of my system. I was very lucky that it was not a long-term side effect. | F | 25 | 2 days N/A 1X day | 2/26/2010 | 1 | to prevent vomiting | anxiety, crying, felt like I was jumping out of my skin, horrible meltdown w/in several minutes of being given the Reglan via IV. | An anesthesiologist gave me Reglan to prevent possible vomiting during a colonoscopy. I immeidately melted down and she gave me something else to knock me out...it's 3 days later and I'm still anxious, not feeling myself, trouble sleeping, trouble focusing, very tired. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. I pray these effects will wear off. | F | 54 | 1 days Don't know 1X day | 2/13/2010 | 1 | Gastroparesis | My 42-year-old daughter was put on Reglan to treat severe gastroparesis, part of her autonomic neuropathy from her 10 years of very brittle type 1 diabetes. Prior to Reglan, she was unable to eat most foods, but could eat again while taking Reglan. However, she became severely depressed and committed suicide. | My daughter was a brittle diabetic with a history of depression, addiction problems (but clean), and a couple of suicide attempts (once while on Camprol). She was on Suboxone and a number of other meds. She developed severe gastroparesis along with autonomic neuropathy and other medical problems. She was basically unable to eat solid food at all for about 6 mos. until her doc put her on Reglan. I'm not certain of her exact dosage. After taking Reglan, she was able to eat fairly normal meals, but she became depressed and attempted suicide again - this time she was successful. She should NOT have been put on Reglan! | F | 42 | 45 days 20 mg 3X day | 2/5/2010 | 1 | Gastroparesis | anxiety, disconnected feeling, blurred vision, can't sit still, general odd feeling | only took it one day and felt like that..took the liquid form | M | 37 | 1 days | 1/30/2010 | 1 | acid reflux | neck stiffness,muscle weakness ,spasms,deep depression,agitation anxiety ,headache and dystonia. | Never had depression or anxiety or other problems.I took reglan for about 3 weeks thats all it took for that poison to destroy my life.First it appear a neck burning and after that started depression anxiety and then parkinsons like symtomes.Now without writing too long a year is past i wake up every morning with e terrible neck pain,tremors in the neck and arms,headache and it lasts 24/7 and the muscle tightness and spasms too are everyday thing.Been to every doc,physical therapy ,chiropractor, movement disorder ,neuromuscelar,dmc hospitals,university of michigan and then cleveland clinic many of times still they dont have a diagnose for me.Done so far about 6 mri cause they sead the first one werent clear and they suspected i might have ms wich then later with other test didnt show nothing.Had botox injection maded it worse a lot of pills wich they preety much dont help.I cant work and my state of mind is really low.Took my gallbladder out cause of it too and all this medical exoanses made me file for bankruptcy .SOO PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS MEDICINE WHAT HAPPEND TO ME IS VERY RARE BUT U DONT WANA TAKE THAT RISK.NOW I LOST MY HOPE IN DOC I AM JUST WAITING FOR A MIRACLE SO I CAN BE MY OLD SELF AGAIN.Just believe me i swear to god this medicine would change ur personality completely and would make u wish u never took it.God bless u. | M | 22 | 3 weeks | 1/30/2010 | 1 | Acid reflux | My doctor put me on reglan in 2007. She continued to tell me to keep taking it. I didnt stop taking reglan until the middle of 2009 when I switched doctors... I was on reglan for almost three years. At first it seemed like it was really helping control my stomach problems, until it changed my life so drastically. It was very hard for me to stop taking it because I became so dependent. Even when it stopped working on my stomach I couldnt quit. My parents said I was addicted. I didnt realize how much it was hurting me and affecting me. Because of reglan, I have tremors in my hands and uncontrolled movements in my shoulders, legs, and feet. I have headaches, back pain, i'm weak, I get tired and dizzy easily, and worst of all I have major anxiety. I became very distant from my friends and family. I was completely depressed. I cried almost everyday. It was so bad that I actually began having mental breaking downs, and I resorted to hurting myself. I ripped out a lot of my hair, and cut my a | I want this drug banned, before someone else ends up with the long list of side effects it has given me. | F | 16 | 2 years | 1/26/2010 | 2 | Severe Migraines | Shakiness, extreme anxiety, sleeplessness, jitters, feeling out of my head, depression, thoughts of suicide, heart palpitations | Saturday morning, I was given two 10mg iv doses of Reglan (Maxeran) for having migraines for two weeks. It worked to get rid of the migraines but as soon as the second bag was done dripping, I felt like I needed to leave the hospital or I was going to jump out of my skin. I couldn't sit still at all and kept telling my boyfriend I had to leave. I was restless for the rest of the day but couldn't fall asleep. I cried a lot, felt awful emotionally and physically. Had dark, dark thoughts too of hurting myself, which is completely out of the norm for me. I slept maybe three hours total Saturday night and kept waking up. On Sunday morning I woke up with my heart rate at 148bpm and feeling extremely jittery and anxious. I had chest pains and pains in my left shoulder/arm. I went back to the ER and had an ecg, blood work up and chest xray. All of which were negative of course. The Doc ended up giving me Ativan to decrease the jitters, reduce my heart rate and help me sleep. I'm now two days out and still feel jittery, anxious and not myself. I feel like a zombie half the time but can't seem to sleep. Basically I have full withdrawal symptoms from ONE DOSE of 20mg of Reglan. DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG, it's not worth the side effects!!! | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/11/2010 | 1 | Vomiting during migraine | I was given Reglan and Benadryl through IV one time six months ago during an emergency room visit for a migraine that had been ongoing for three days. In a matter of seconds, I became so anxious that I wanted to leap out of the hospital bed and run out of the ER. I told the nurse and she said that was a "normal" reaction. I had tremors so severe I couldn't hold my head still for the CT Scan. Within a few days of leaving the hospital I began having abrupt panic attacks in normal every day situations that were not threatening at all. The panic attacks led to a truly debilitating depression, which is the polar opposite of my personality. I am a very in control executive who has never suffered from depression in my life, but I was reduced to a irrational, crying, fearful person who felt like everyone in my family was dying at the same time. Since then I've learned that the Reglan could have been the culprit and was told by my family doc that I would have to "cycle" ou | There are too many options available to put anyone through the risk of suffering the side effects Reglan causes. I have suffered for six months and put my body through multiple different medicines to try to reverse the "cycle" of Reglan. I have spent months with my family doctor, a psychotherapist and psychiatrist in order to find the right medicine. I feel like I lost six months of my life. Prior to the Reglan incident I was a normal senior executive who worked out with a trainer several times a week and rode my bicycle 36 miles in an afternoon. I did not take ANY medicine, had no trouble falling asleep, looked forward to every single day, and saw the glass as always half full. The benefits do not outweigh the risks with Reglan and doctors and the FDA should consider that. | F | 36 | 1 days | 1/10/2010 | 1 | Regurgiation | Panic, extreme lethargy and sleepiness, crying, bloating, suicidal and irrational thoughts | My first experiences with Reglan were good, and it got me over a spate of chronic nausea. It was later prescribed to me at a much higher dose for chronic regurgitation. Whether it was too high of a dose, or if it interacted with my Zoloft SSRI was not certain. What was certain was that Reglan made me think I was going to go insane. It was awful; a 25 year old male reduced to a hysterical wreck. My stomach felt even worse, bloated and heavy, and all I wanted to do was sleep. Avoid at all costs! | M | 25 | 10 days | 1/5/2010 | 1 | In IV for c-section | I am so very shocked that the medical community is not more informed about this drugs reactions on people. I first went into the hospital 4 years ago for a c-section, I was given Reglan in IV, I started getting very hot like I was on fire, turning very red, sweating. Everyone thought I was just nervous about the surgery. I started freaking out in my mind. I wanted to get out of that hospital and forget the surgery. I was truly flipping out and no one would believe me. After hours finally it wore off and I was totally myself. So time for second baby a few months ago and I warned the Dr of what happened last time, that it was something in my IV, please do not let it happen again.. well sure enough it happened again. I was telling the dr and the nurses and they just thought I was nervous again. I made my husband take my daughter out because I was flipping out again. Finally when on the operating table I told the anesthesiologist and he said, oh sounds like Reglan, I will give you | F | 35 | | 12/31/2009 | 1 | acid reflux | confusion, loss of memory, weight loss, anxiety, insomnia, suicide | My husband of 17 years never had depression, was on this drug and the symptoms were all systematic, the final result was suicide. My children and myself realize we cannot bring him back, but can make a difference for others. Please do not take this medication. | M | 46 | 4 months | 12/30/2009 | 1 | I shouldn't! | I was put on Reglan about 2.5 years ago because my primary care doctor though I had gastroparesis. I was on it 2.5 years and I had horrible side effects (I didn't know at that time that it was Reglan)-depression, anxiety, restlesness, irritation, nervousness, twiching of my eye for most of the time. I just saw a new doctor and he did the test again and it happened that I never had gastroparesis! I was taking reglan with antidepressants and acid reflux meds. I am "fighting" with my stomach for over 4 years now. My new GI did some tests and he says I have irritable bowel syndrome. I am taking 4 different meds now. He found bile in my stomach (I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago because they said it may help with my stomachaches, nausea and vomiting) so I take carafate, librax, zegerid and levsin as needed. I have a question. Maybe someone can help me. I still get these sort of anxiety attacks usually after I eat. My GI says that it may take a very long time for me to get b | I forgot to mention one more thing, I cannot take a full deep breath. I had X-ray and my lungs are fine but this bothers me for a while now too. It's on and off for about 1.5 year. I don't know what to do... I am thinking that maybe they are missing something? Can anyone help me to solve my mystery? I exercise 2-3 times a week for an hour and I don't take reglan since October 1st (almost 3 months now). PS.: Sorry for my English (this is my second language). ML | F | 25 | 2.5 years | 12/30/2009 | 1 | no reason I guess! | I was put on Reglan about 2.5 years ago because my primary care doctor though I had gastroparesis.

Take dom instead of this useless drug. I could smack the shit out of the LC for recommending this drug to me. I took this drug for almost 2 weeks and started having side effects after about a week. Even after quitting this drug, the side effects still linger for a while. ************DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG**************** | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 12/24/2009 | 5 | nausea/lack of digestion-pregnancy | No negative side effects thus far. | My doctor prescribed this medication to help me digest my food more affectively. I do not take it every 3 hours or 3 times a day. I normally only take one pill in the evening if I feel like I'm not digesting my food adequately. This medication has helped me a great deal. I also feel less nauseous after just a few minutes. It helps me to be less consipated as well. I can't believe some of the terrible side effects I have read on this site. I hope none of these things happen to me or my baby. I just wanted to give my opinion so that maybe it will help someone. | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 12/21/2009 | 1 | gastroparesis | insomnia, tingling in arms, neck and shoulders, depression and anxiety, loneliness. | I've posted twice on this forum already. I just wanted to let people know that eventually the side effects will wear off after you stop taking this medication. The depression goes away after 2 weeks. Insomnia and tingling goes away after 1-2 months. Anxiety and loneliness take longer; about 3 months. I only took this drug for 2 months so the time it takes to get out of your system may take longer or less depending on how long you took it for. But if your symptoms are anything like mine there is hope of recovery. | M | 27 | 2 months | 12/20/2009 | 1 | Extreme Morning Sickness | Neurological Reaction, Seizures, close to death. | I was given Reglan by IV for a Friday Night-Sunday Noon. Hours before I was being discharged from the hospital after days of care my mother noticed I was acting very oddly. I was staring at the ceiling, when she realized my eyes were rolling back in my head causing my neck to then follow. Quickly she had nurses in the room with pure shock on their faces and an MD who had no idea what to do. Immediately following the eyes rolling back, and the neck rolling back, extreme rigidity and seizures followed. For 2 hrs they tried to figure out what to do while I suffered scared, no control over my eyes, neck or body. They decided a shot of Benadryl would do the trick. I had about 15minutes of relief and it all started back, even worse. I had my tongue and lips swelling up and down, extreme changes in my blood pressure, heart beat, rigidity, seizures and no control over my neck and eyes once again. They bring another MD to try to solve the puzzle and after another 2hrs of suffering they finally decided that Morphine doses along with a muscle relaxer would keep me until the Reglan was out of my system. This was the most pain I have ever been through, not to mention the scariest experience of my life. When it takes 7 nurses & 2 MDs to stop pain, with only hopeful looks on their faces there is something wrong. Reglan was not worth this and NO ONE should have to go through this experience. | F | 21 | 3 days | 12/18/2009 |
