REGLAN  (METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness. Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines. This drug is not recommended for use in children due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements). Ask the doctor or pharmacist for details.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 1  Increase Breastmilk ANXIETY, PANIC ATTACKS, DEPRESSION, IRRATIONAL/VIVID THOUGHTS AND FEARS, CHEST PAIN After 8 weeks of being on this med, I began to feel foggy and felt like i was "walking funny" as though I was walking a little to the left and couldn't stop myself, so I stopped taking the pills. 3 days later I was in the ER with a panic attack. I had unexplained chest pains and within 2 weeks had 2 chext xrays and EKGs done. I had blood work done to check my thyroid function, all appeared normal. I began having very irrational fears, and thoughts that were embarrassing in their idiocy. I was unable to make them stop. I had panic attacks in the past, but had not had one since I was 5 months pregnant. These were not normal panic attacks that lasted 20 to 30 minutes and went away, these were long drawn out full day events of being in a constant state of panic. IT IS HORRIBLE. I began to seek treatment after the 3rd event of random panic. Every day as i would leave my house to go to work in the morning, I would have debilitating fearful thoughts that would usually result in a panic attack at my desk. I began to be afraid to leave the house alone, I was afraid to spend time with or hold my baby. i was afraid of changing her diaper. I went to a therapist who referred me to my OB for Postpartum Depression. OB stated this was NOT NORMAL and referred me to a psychiatrist believing I need to be medicated. My psychiatrist has never HEARD of Reglan, and therefore does not believe me when I tell him I believe this is what's causing the problem as i was FINE for 3 F 34 8 weeks

 1  to increase milk supply Shortly after starting this prescription I started feeling like I had no energy. I kept calling my dr's office telling them and asking if they could do a test for anemia or something. Something was just not right. About a week later I started having horrible insomnia and lots of anxiety. I soon started being very depressed, anxious, having crazy thoughts, it was AWFUL!! I became like a zombie. Then came suidcidal thoughts. Despite going to doctors and them knowing I was on this, they didn't take me off--said it was postpartum depression. I had never had depression in my life despite going through some pretty awful things. Finally one day my husband had intuition or something and decided to throw them in the trash! It took a while for me to get over the withdrawl symptoms and a long time to realize exactly what happened. I thought I was a horrible person. I would not recommend this medication to anyone!!

 1  migraine I went in with the worst pain in my head neck and eye. I refused to do a spinal tap so they said they would treat it like a migraine and gave me reglan. I freaked out and have felt weird ever since. My headache came back instantly the next morning. Hasn't went away. I'm now on my 6th day with a headache. Plus I was told you can't take it if you have stomach ulcers, and guess what, I have crohns disease. I don't even understand why they gave it to me, I looked it up and nowhere does it say for a migraine F 20 1 days
