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! I will not take this med now! I'm verrrry skepitical of meds as it is, and with crazy side effects like this I'm going to avoid this drug. | Thanks to everyone who shared their experience with this drug! 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. I truly thought I was having a mental breakdown. This medicine should never be prescribed for anyone !!!! | F | 60 | 2 years 2X day | 9/18/2011 | 1 | gastroparesis | out of nowhere i started having extreme psychotic thoughts and actions, thoughts of suicide,contstanly sobbing at home, highly agitated,loss of interest in simple tasks and not wanting to go anywhere,i laid in bed after work till the next morning. ive been off the reglan for a month and suicidal thoughts havent come back, but everything else i mentioned is me now. no motivation, could care less, lying in bed still, staying in the house. this is really messed up,my son threw the rest of them down the tiolet,my family is witnessing my behavior.when will i get back to me. | F | 58 | 3 months 2X day | 9/12/2011 | 1 | nausea | got reglan IV for nausea when in ER for a crohn's exacerbation, given concurrently with benadryl IV. immediately became restless, felt like i was going to crawl out of my skin, and experienced extreme panic. i was given another dose of benadryl IV and i fell asleep. it was terrible. I will never let them give it to me again. | F | 28 | 1 days 30mg 1X O | 9/8/2011 | 2 | GERD/Esophagitus | Depression, anxiety, complete loss of interest in life. | I've always been a happy, productive and creative person. After being on Reglan for a while, I started sitting at my desk and staring at the walls. I would feel like something awful was going to happen. This went on for a long time because I just kept thinking it would pass. Then I saw a warning on my Reglan bottle about depression, found this site and others. Two years later I'm still under psychiatric care, on meds for depression and anxiety. It took some time and experimentation with different meds and alcohol abuse (I'm dry now) but I'm feeling better. Where I go from here? I don't know. | M | 61 | 2 years 10 MG 2X day | 9/6/2011 | 1 | anti-nausea with a benadryl push | visual and auditory hallucinations, spastic leg movements, twitching, jumpy, paranoia, memory problems, dizzy and totally freaked out...wanted to pull IV and leave ER. Scared. | Went to ER two nights ago for migraine symptoms. Have had them for over a week. The doc said he would give me an IV line with Benadryl and anti-nausea medication. The nurse injected it in the line and my throat and crotch got super hot feeling. Not good.Then i got super high like i was stoned and started tweaking. i was seeing the curtain move toward me and things move in the room, i heard someone whispering to me and thought someone died in the room and i was talking to the dead, and bugs were flying around. The worst part (like that wasn't bad enough) was my legs started twitching, like my skin was crawling. My lower torso was practically convulsing, and i thought about pushing the call button and all of the noise in the room was amplified and i started to get scared. when nurse came in, it's like i couldn't really speak or explain myself because i kept forgetting what i was saying. And they let me drive home, they just gave up on me and said i was sensitive. they asked if my headache was gone and i lied and said yes to get the heck out of the ER, I thought they were trying to kill me. But this isn't right. It's two days later and I'm still feeling the crawling sensations in my legs, paranoia, last night i got down on the floor to look under a rug in my kitchen because i thought i saw spiders and i looked and nothing was there. i feel awful and basically not sure who to trust. | F | 40 | 1 days i don't kn 1X day | 8/30/2011 | 1 | Delayed Digestion | Suicidal thoughts, severe depression, extreme drowsiness | This medicine has ruined my life, nothing makes me happy anymore. I am always severely depressed and constantly think about just ending it all. I don't have the energy to do anything other than just make it through the day. When I first got prescribed the drug I was thrilled because my delayed digestion had been giving me nausea but taking it has become my biggest regret. I originally thought my depression was a result of my new birth control (Implanon) because I started them at the same time and it actually has depression listed as a side effect where as Reglan doesn't but I have never reacted like this to birth control and no one I have talked to on the same type has had any similar symptoms. I had no idea depression was one of the side effects of Reglan but after reading these reviews about so many people with the exact same side effects as me I am convinced that it is what caused this. Do not take Metoclopramide (Reglan) if you can avoid it. I have been off it for a month and am still severely depressed. | F | 21 | 30 days 2X day | 8/9/2011 | 1 | Increase milk supply | Post Partum mild-psycosis; thoughts of hurting my newborn; 24/7 anxiety and panic attacks; increased baby blues to depression; could not function or take care of my newborn; | I was a first time mom at 40 and needed extra help with milk supply and was prescribed Reglan. I litterally had a nervous breakdown about 3 weeks after starting the drug. I had thoughts of killing my newborn, giving her up for adoption, or simply abandoning my whole new life. I had to go through cycles (plural) of IVF to get my daughter, so you can see how crazy I truly was. I have never been on any anti-depressants in my life, and never saw a psychiatrist for depression. This drug threw me into a nervous breakdown one Friday afternoon, to where I had to call my mom to come take care of the baby for 4 weeks until "life" didn't make me so anxious. I couldn't even run simple errands, or watch TV. Sitting still for a period of time to watch TV was impossible. Any show on TV threw me into horrible anxiety attacks. I was prescribed Zoloft and Xanex to counter balance what the Reglan had done. It took about two weeks for the Zoloft to start kicking in, but THANK THE LORD for Xanex. I became agoraphobic and feared even leaving my house. A few times each night I had panic attacks so bad I would be drenched in the middle of the night and have to take Xanex just to get through them. I counted the minutes until I could take another Xanex just to get through the next few hours. BUT, if this sounds anything like you, it WILL get better. GET OFF REGLAN immediately, have people help you survive "life" until it gets out of your system. Also push yourself to | F | 42 | 3 weeks ??? 3X day | 8/8/2011 | 1 | MIGRAINE & NAUSEA | RASH | In ER given Reglan for nausea and Benadryl for intractable migraine. Barely touched the pain but nausea went away. Within few hours of leaving the hospital my chest felt hot & itchy and I awoke the next morning with a full blown rash which is now spread over 3/4 of my body. This was my 2nd time receiving Reglan & Benadryl iv in the ER. | F | 48 | 1 days 1X day | 7/28/2011 | 1 | Severe Migraine | Immediate panic, and irrational thoughts | I have never had a reaction to any medication aside from this. Immediately after receiving it for a severe migraine, I was panicked. I wanted to leave, to get out of the hospital immediately. It was a horrible night, and the effects lasted for hours even after being given Benadryl to try and counteract it. Be very very careful with this medication. I will NEVER AGAIN allow this medication to be used in my body. I have never once had a panic attack until taking this medicine! | F | 26 | 1 days 1X day | 7/23/2011 |
