| 1 | Increase milk supply | Jittery, hot flashes, depression, anxiety, nervousness | Although I had a great increase in supply, I became so tired and almost depressed. I took it 4x/day for 8 weeks. When I decided I hated how I felt I stopped it. Within 24 hours I became nervous, anxious, jittery, and couldn't sleep. This has been going on for 2 weeks so far. I was not properly informed about the side effects of the drug or to taper it. Is there an end? | F | 32 | 8 weeks | 7/18/2008 | 1 | gastroparesis | depression, brain fog, EXTREME anxiety, crying, extreme fatigue, the desire to sleep rather than do anything productive, feelings of helplessness and being overwhelmed by the smallest tasks, overwhelming worry and irrational fears. | GI physician has no knowledge of the side effects and acted like I was exaggerating the effects. I regret ever taking this drug because my life has been altered significantly - I worry that it will never return to normal after reading so many other posts. I would love to hear from people who stopped taking the drug and have regained their normal functioning????? | F | 49 | 2 months | 7/17/2008 | 1 | Infant GERD | My baby girl only took these meds for a couple weeks. She was an apnic baby; her reflux would block her airway and there were pauses in her breathing. She was put on the Reglan along with the Zantac to try to stop the reflux. While taking the meds she could not even hold her head up; she slept almost all of the time; I could not keep her awake as hard as I tried and she just looked stoned. It was just really sad to see her on it. I told the doc I refused to give it to her any more. | I would NEVER give this to anyone - especially after reading up on it. I wish I had NEVER given it to my daughter. I was not warned of the side effects. She has had to have early intervention. She has had some speech delays and muscle issues - was diagnosed Dyspraxic (with Oral and Motor Apraxia/dyspraxia; problem that her brain understands everything and her muscles work, but somewhere between the signal gets crossed) She is progressing. But she has some texture/sensory issues and mood issues, and is still having some fine motor issues. She has had night terrors. Now reading about this medicine, I wonder how much it may have to do with it. | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 7/14/2008 | 1 | Gastroparesis | I started taking this on June 4th and by July 4th, I started experiencing symptoms of severe depression and anxiety. I discontinued use on the 5th. It has been six days and I still feel like I am going to lose my mind. I over obcess about things that did not normally bother me at all. I feel like there is no hope for my future. That I am stuck in a rut and will never be able to get out. I have never in my life had any feelings this bad. This drug is horrible. I also have panic/anxiety attacks. Is there anyone out there that can give me any information or any suggestions on how to start the "healing" process. I am desperate. | F | 38 | 4 weeks | 7/10/2008 | 1 | Migraine | Shortness of breath, uncontrollable shaking and terrible feelings of anxiety were just 3 of the side effects I had after having this drug by IV. I have only had it once for a bad migraine but never again! I would prefer the pain than the feelings this drug gave me. | I would not recommend this drug to anyone! I even told the ER doctor that I prefered the migraine than the medication! | F | 43 | 1 days | 6/26/2008 | 1 | reflux | After 4 months of taking the drug, I started feeling very, very depressed and overwelmed. Since I had been taking the drug for 4 months I didn't relate it to the drug until 7 months later. I stopped taking it and the feeling went away. | I would take it with caution and review the side effects before every refill to see if any have developed. I almost didn't initially take it because of the long list of side effects. | F | 48 | | 6/19/2008 | 1 | acid reflux | depression, anxiety, lack of energy | I was prescribed Reglan along with Nexium for acid reflux. While this combination eased my symptoms, I would strongly recommend caution when taking Reglan. I have absolutely no history of depression or anxiety. This drug made me extremely anxious. I also began feeling depressed for the first time in my life. I am very active, but have been chronically tired as of late. After finding this website, I immediately quit taking Reglan. It has been a week, and I am just beginning to feel a little better. | M | 33 | 3 months | 6/18/2008 | 1 | Milk Production | Nausea, depression, anxiety, shaking | DO NOT TAKE REGLAN. Worst drug ever. Hands down. I finally went off it yesterday and although I still feel a little like crap today, I feel so much better now that I'm not taking it anymore. Why was I not warned about the side effects??? | F | 26 | 10 days | 6/13/2008 | 1 | Increase Breastmilk Production | Depression, Skin crawling, Severe Anxiety | I was prescribed Reglan to increase my milk supply - which it did do. I was only on Reglan for 2 days when I started experiencing severe anxiety and depression. I had never experienced any of these symptoms to that degree in my life and could only trace it back to the Reglan that I was taking. I would not recommend this drug to my worst enemy and it needs to be pulled off the market immediately. | F | 29 | 2 days | 6/9/2008 | 1 | GERD | insomnia,anxiety,depression,brain fog,dizziness,feel like i am the small alien inside mans head in movie MEN IN BLACK. | I am in a living hell right now. I dont feel like myself at all. I have been to the emergency room twice and have been diagnosed with anxiety. Was given ativan and benadryl with no success.I was also given a prescription for Xanax which I will not take. Went to my family doctor and was also diagnosed with anxiety and was told that I should see a psychiatrist and was prescribed Lexapro which i also will not take. I printed out these pages to bring to my doctor and was ignored when asked about possibilities of having some sort of damage due to Reglan use. While everyone reacts differently to medications I advise most people DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG UNDER ANY CURCUMSTANCES. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL HAVE A SERIOUS REACTION TO IT. on a side note: Are there any other persons who have had success in regaining their mental alertness. I feel like I am always in a dream. I have left email and hope I can get some good news or words of encouragement | M | 39 | 2 weeks | 6/6/2008 | 1 | Barret's esophagus, GERD | I gradually became more and more depressed to the point that my family noticed it. Not recognizing Reglan as the cause, I saw a psychotherapist. When it didn't improve at all, I began to suspect something chemical but I couldn't figure what. What drove me to do research was a trembling anxiety attack, something I'd never had before. I also developed premature heart beats (15,000 per day) and had to take Tambocor for it. My BP, normally low, went up. All symptoms disappeared when I quit the Reglan. | It worked to control GERD, but it wasn't worth it. I only found out about the depression side effect by accident...no MD suggested it as a possible cause of my problems. Within 1 week of going off it, the depression lessened. Anxiety attack never happened again, even once! I now only take half dose of Tambocor and I suspect I may not even need that but MD is afraid to chance my going off it. | F | 64 | 2 years | 6/2/2008 | 1 | nausea gastroparesis | Depression, severe skin agitation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. Ended up in a psych unit for 3 weeks where I was simply put on a anti-depessant which did nothing for me except make me foggy. Found out about the gruesome side effects of Reglan at this web site. | Was on 5mg/meal for 3 years, had gall bladder removed in hopes of solving problem. When that didn't work was put on a dose of 10/mg/meal. That's when the severe side effects exploded on the scene. Nothing ever did solve my nausea problem. Stopped using Splenda helped. Will never use Reglan again, it made my life hell. | M | 64 | 3 years | 5/30/2008 | 2 | Milk Production | Jittery; Drowsiness almost lethargic feeling; anxiety; feeling unusually down and helpless | I was taking this for milk production for just a few days and determined that it was the cause of the side effects I was having. I stopped taking it and feel 100% better. I was unaware of the severe side effects. It was my baby's pediatrician that mentioned that these side effects existed and he recommended I not take it. Weird coming from the pediatrician. He did note that some people have none of these side effects. I felt these side effects almost immediately so I think if you feel these or other side effects that basically make you feel crazy you should contact your Dr. | F | 32 | 3 days | 5/27/2008 | 3 | Gastroparesis | Depression, anxiety, diarrhea | Drug has really helped the bloating and nausea associated with the condition. I'm ONLY taking 10mg once a day. Unfortunately, soon after beginning Reglan I experienced heightened bouts of depression alternating with anxiety. I attributed it to other things in my life. Then the uncontrolable episodes of diarrhea began. Symptoms continue to persist during the five months on Reglan. It has made me virtually housebound. I traced the onset of symptoms to the start of the Reglan. Having begun research today, I stumbled upon this site and was amazed and enlightened. Why did an Endocrinologist, Cardiologist and Internist all not offer a warning to this med. Reglan definitley helped my gastroparisis, but I can't handle the side effects and will begin weaning off today. Thank you to every one for your comments and warnings. | M | 53 | 5 months | 5/26/2008 | 2 | gastroparesis | anxiety, fatigue, muscle pain/spasms, insomnia | I am currently on 10 mg 2x/day. I have to take Klonopin with it sometimes because it worsens the muscle pain I already have due to fibromyalgia, and it increases my already high anxiety level. The side effects are pretty awful, but my gastroparesis is so bad that I am willing to try anything at this point, including increasing the dosage of the Reglan. Thus far, I have not noticed a difference in the severity of the reflux, which is the worst symptom I get from the gastroparesis. I have also been overeating at night, which really doesn't help, and has only started happening since I began taking the Reglan; it seems to be due to a combination of fatigue from the medication and the reflux itself tricking me into feeling "hungry." | F | 29 | 14 days | 5/5/2008 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
