| 1 | achalasia | I had a dystonic reaction that resulted in me losing COMPLETE control of my neck muscules. My head went as far back as it could. Thank goodness i was in a hospital when it happened. | it is awful awful awful!!!! if one researches this drug further they will find far more people have problems with this drug than they have success. the possible side effects are just too dangerous and not worth the risk. its a scarey drug that is too loosely prescribed. | M | 15 | 5 days | 7/12/2007 | 1 | Nausea | Jaw lock to the point where my mouth was wide open and I thought my mouth might tear, eyes rolling in my head, couldn't hold up my neck, tingling in my arms and face. | I would never take this medicine again. Within 24 hours of taking it I was rushed to hospital and given an anti-drug to get it out of my system. For nearly a week after the incident I was hallucinating, had no memory and generally didn't know where I was. | F | 27 | 1 days | 7/11/2007 | 1 | Reflux and undigested food | Nighttime twitching and jitters. | My 14 year old (weighing only 53lbs.) was prescribed this drug after digestion complications arose after a spinal fusion surgery. It caused her much restlessness and sleepless nights, resulting in scratched corneas when her eyes dried from not resting enough. | F | 14 | 30 days | 7/7/2007 | 1 | IBS (Consitpation) | Sleeplessness, sadness, body shaking, eventually pain in the left side of my chest only, dizziness. | I began taking this medicine once a day 2 weeks ago. I didn't put together at the time that the medicine was causing me to have trouble sleeping. After one week, I called the doctor and told him that it was not working for my constipation. they told me to increase to taking up to FOUR pills at one time. Fortunately, I did not take their advice and only took a total of 5 pills that day. By lunch time, my whole body was shaking, the left side of my chest felt tight and hurt and even my left arm and leg tingled....I was up until 3 am that night because my chest and blood pressure were bothering (and WORRYING me so much). It's been 3 days since I've been off the medicine and I ended up calling 911 last night because the pain was so severe - I thought I was about to have a heart attack or something. It was EXTREMELY scary. This medicine is evil and I'm pissed that my doctor didn't warn me that this medicine could take a while to get out of my symptoms and that the side effects may co | F | 27 | 8 days | 7/6/2007 | 1 | GERD | Reglan helped lessen the severe problems I was having with GERD; but, I ended up with severe depression and anxiety. I was not aware that the Reglan could cause severe depression and anxiety. I was working long hours and getting very little sleep. I compalined to my doctor that I was experiencing unexplained anxiety and depression and was told it was due to over working and no sleep. I took some time off but the anxiety and depression got so bad I isolated and had suicidal thoughts. During this time I continued taking the Reglan not knowing that it was the cause of my symtoms. By the time I quit taking it I had to seek help on an out patient basis at a mental hospital. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder and depression. I ended up on 9 different pscychiatric medications,lost my job and over 5 years of my life. I am still trying to get my life back. I wish I had never even heard of Reglan; to make matters worse the doctor that prescribed the Reglan says he has never heard of an | M | 45 | 10 months | 7/2/2007 | 1 | gastroparesis | depression, irritability, nervousness, hand twitching, jaw clenching, heart palpitations, fatigue, loss of focus, thoughts of suicide | After 8 weeks of taking 10mg four times per day I became very depressed, having difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. I then noticed the hand/finger and jaw movements. I feel like I've had a nervous breakdown. I haven't been able to go to work and struggle through everyday tasks. I called my physician and have been off Reglan for almost a week. I've felt no improvement. Does anyone know how long it takes to get out of your system? I'm scared of the effect this is having on my life. | F | 48 | 8 weeks | 6/18/2007 | 1 | ER surgery for obstructed bowel | Previously submitted. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. IT IS LETHAL! | I would be willing to consider a class action suit against this drug. It's been 5 days since I quit taking it and I am still feeling withdrawl. I've even had to call in at work because of it. I almost went to the emergency room because I have been suffering so bad. Rash, nausea, muscle stiffness/pain, chest pain, trouble breathing, involuntary tounge and throat movement, chills, stomach cramps, fatique, thoughts of sucide, depression, brain fog, head pain, jaw stiffness, burning stinging in the lips and thorat, numbness in my tounge and thorat, swelling of the legs, ankles, face, hands, vision disturbances. I have never felt this bad and it is all because of this medication. | F | 46 | 4 months | 6/15/2007 | 1 | ER surgery on obstructed bowl | I have been on Reglan for almost 4 months . For the past couple of months I have been experiencing hives and my asthma/lungs are in very bad shape. I have also been severly depressed and anxieous throughout the course of taking Reglan. I now feel like my skin is crawling and during the entire 4 months I have also experienced swelling of my face, ankles and legs periodically. Recently, within the past couple of weeks, I have been having uncontrolled movement of my tounge, tingling in my mouth, throat and legs, experiencing a toxic taste in my mouth, leg restlesness and leg pain, lower back pain (feels like kidney pain), extreme fatique and insomnia, brain fog, nausea; and now that I have stopped the drug, my symptoms are even worse. It never occured to me during the four months of taking this medication that I was experencing side effects. Mostly, I just want to know if you have overcome your symptoms and how long it took you to feel normal again. I hope that there is an | Although it seemed to help my bowel regulation, I am now very concerned about my life. The worst of these symptoms didn't even start until I had taken it for a couple of months. That's why I never thought it could be side effects. | F | 46 | 4 months | 6/13/2007 | 1 | nausea | tremor,anxiety,servere depression,bodily twitching,fatigue,involantry movements. | DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DEBILITATING DRUG!! WARNING!! | F | 40 | 6 months | 6/10/2007 | 1 | nausia after child birth | I thought I was going to die!!! Severe anxiety! thoughts of jumping out the hospital window! Felt like something was crawling under my skin, never felt so horrible in my life, It was like I felt completely psychotic!!! It totally ruined the time I had with my newborn after childbirth and I coudnt even hold or feed my precious infant for hours afterwards! I was so freaking pi$$ed off I cant even tell you!!! | I now know that IM not alone with this and wonder how we can start a class action lawsuit against the manufactuars of this drug. Also, I feel absolutely worried and sorry for the poor infants whos parents cant "read" them the way some of you can and who give this drug to babies who cant talk and let them know the hell and torture they are going through. | F | 36 | 1 days | 6/9/2007 | 1 | heartburn | stiffness and muscle cramps for a half year! it did help the heartburn significantly but at a great cost. will not take again for fear of doing more permanent damage. my musle cramps are now gone, and the heartburn is back--i'm going to try some other approaches for that. if you take milk thistle as a supplement, don't take reglan, as it may slow down the rate at which you eliminate it. | M | 30 | 2 days | 6/9/2007 | 1 | morning sickness/acid reflux | unexplained severe anxiety; severe depression; burning all over body; convulsions; panic attacks; brain fog; shaking and twitching of head and limbs; heart racing; felt like bugs were crawling under my skin; thought I was going to die; could only sleep about 10 minutes per night | BENEFITS DO NOT OUTWEIGH THE RISKS. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN! I have been off Reglan for almost three months and, although a lot of my symptoms have improved, I am still not myself. I feel like I have seen Hell on earth and would urge anyone and everyone to stay away from this medication. | F | 33 | 3 months | 6/7/2007 | 1 | gastroparesis | extreme fatique, lack of appetite(felt sick), depression | Worst medicine ever. Only took two tablets and I could not function. It took two days to get out of my system. The effects of this drug came on 45 minutes after taking it. | F | 40 | 1 days | 6/4/2007 | 1 | GURD | Severe agitation, nervousness, depression, unable to sleep, diarrhea, tingly fingers. | I took Reglan for 3 months without problem, then started having severe problems. Like others, I attributed it to stress in my life and consulted a psychiatrist. Not feeling any better, I found this site and the light bulb went off. Thanks to the many people who have posted. I am now in Day 3 of detox from this awful drug and I hope to feel human again soon. | F | 51 | 100 days | 5/30/2007 | 1 | migraine | Was given in ER--SHEER PANIC, followed by uncontrollable movements. Was given benadryl and ativan to counteract, then felt like my brains had been scrambled--still not feeling quite right. | Don't take this drug. The side effects are awful. It should not be on the market. | F | 40 | 1 times | 5/26/2007 | 1 | Mom took it for stomach distress | depression, tremors, became almost paralyzed, couldn't communicate, death | Please take anything other than this drug. I'm convinced it led to my mothers death, although I have no direct proof. After she died I read all the reports connected to reglan and it was like reading her story. Eventually her organs shut down because she became bedfast and unable to eat. It's toxic! It was prescribed for several years off and on, mostly on. She would have other problems and be put in the hospital where she would be taken off it and improve, then they'd put her back on it again. I pray no one else goes through what she, and we did. | F | 76 | | 5/23/2007 | 5 | Increase Milk Supply | None | My baby was premature and couldn't breastfeed. When my milk supply stopped at 2 ounces per pump, I was put on Reglan and have now increased to 3.5 ounces per pump. With the Reglan I can keep baby on breastmilk exclusively to give her immune system the boost it needs that formula can't give her. | F | 34 | 2 weeks | 5/20/2007 | 1 | Increase breast milk supply | Painful jerking, involuntary movements of my mouth, jaws, tongue, and neck. anxiety. tingling in my legs and hands. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was the most horrifying experience of my life. i thought i was having a seizure at first but it continued for hours. i could not make it stop and had to take tylenol pm to try to calm down...i just had to ride it out. | F | 24 | 2 days | 5/20/2007 | 1 | nausea | My lips went numb and tingly and I felt completely drugged. Blurry vision and even trouble just trying to keep my eyes open. I only took one 5mg does 7 hours ago and I'm still feeling the effects. | I wasn't told by my doctor about the possible dangerous side effects from long term doses. She gave me a perscription for 6 months too. I wont take it again. | F | 42 | 1 days | 5/17/2007 | 1 | gasteroperesis | burning eye pain, migraine, eye twitching | Since there isn't Zelnorm anymore, my doctors put me on this drug even though I have experienced severe side effects. I am so scared to take it because I was in so much pain and so miserable on the drug. What is the FDA doing? And I am supposed to be on this for life? What about domperidone? All of my doctors want this drug or Zelnorm for me and I can't get it. | F | 35 | 2 months | 5/4/2007 |
