| 4 | Nausea, dyspepsia, migraine | problems falling asleep, slight myoclonic movements | great against nausea - much better for me than domperidon. very great during migraine induced nausea. | M | 26 | 8 years 7 1X day | 7/21/2011 | 1 | GERD | Began a few years ago with breast tenderness and swelling (male) and then trouble holding a pen, insomia, weight loss and then progress to full blown panic attack, feeling like losing mind | my husband has been on Reglan for over three years, side effects at first were breast swelling and tenderness, which seemed odd for a man but dr. didn't link to side effects of this horrible drug. The past 2 months he has been nervous and depressed, a major shift in his usually calm happy personality. Over July 4 weekend he had a major panic attack, so strange and scary. I called his gi to inquire about his prevacid changing to a generic and he said to immediately stop the Reglan that this was a side effect. He is so much better just being off it for 1 week! Are there any natural or homeopathic methods to help the healing process from the drug? Will the panic attacks come back? I am praying for all the people affected by this drug. | M | 47 | 3 years 2X day | 7/14/2011 | 1 | postop nausea/slow bowel | severe restlessness, anxiety, panic attacks, shortness of breath, nausea, dry mouth | terrible drug! Should not ever be prescribed! The risks and side effects far outweigh the benefits. Cannot believe doctors would ever prescribe this without telling you all the possible side effects. When you are nauseous after surgery, desperate, and at the mercy of the doctors and nurses you trust that they have your best interest at heart and you take the medication. I think that you should have to sign a consent and be fully aware of side effects before being prescribed reglan. | F | 55 | 1 months 3X day | 7/8/2011 | 1 | GERD /Gastroparesis | It started like parkinson like shaking a little at a time in January 2009 then one day it was so bad I shook all over I felt as though I would shake out of my skin my eyes felt like they were going to pop out and my eyes started blinking rapidly then started spasming then the legs would not stop moving then the tremors started at night as well and would wake me up. My doctor pulled me off of it and I thought it would go away . I was wrong. It has been over 2 yrs since I have been off of it and now I am seeing a neurologist. | It was a life saver because I could eat and be okay, but the longer I stayed on it I started noticing subtle symptoms , then they came to a head and I got worse. Now, I am living with the side effects. It's crazy because it worked so well for the belly now I am ruined for life,embarrased to leave my house or be in public, harder to work with my hands at work because I am dropping things, and my eyes close shut somtimes, I draw blood for a living. What will I do ?? | F | 47 | 3 years 10 4X day | 7/2/2011 | 1 | acid reflux | Reglan has destroyed my life. I now have permanent tardive dyskinsea, akathisia, and tremors. These are all movements disorders. I now move involuntarily, I look like I have Parkinson's Disease. There are other medications available, medications that don't rob your brain of dopamine and forevor destroy your life. I am a young woman that is trapped in a body that I can't get out of. Please don't take this medication. It could possibly ruin your life, too. | F | 40 | 225 weeks 30 MG 3X day | 6/21/2011 | 1 | Vomiting | Severe claustrophobia, extreme restlessness, exhaustion, loss of balance, twitching, uncontrolled sobbing, paranoia | I was prescribed this drug to control vomiting several years ago. I tried to drive back to my university (3 hrs) from a doc appointment at home. I pulled over after 10 minutes and curled into a ball and shook uncontrollably. My parents had to come get me. The dumb nurse, after calling her, said "oh yea, reglan does that to some people. Stop taking it." At an ER visit a few years later I was given "something for nausea" in my IV. I started freaking out and complaining about the walls falling on me and my husband pulled in a nurse who quickly shot benadryl in the iv. They obviously had given me reglan. It is a terrible drug. I'd highly suggest trying ZOFRAN instead for nausea and vomiting. And please don't take it to increase milk supply! Just give the baby formula! They'll be just fine. | F | 27 | 3 days 5 MG 3X day | 6/13/2011 | 1 | increase milk production | Anxiety, extreme restlessness, could not stay still or even sit down, insomnia, crying episodes. | Took it for 2 days. I thought I was losing my mind. Worst side effect was not being able to stay still. Felt like I constantly had to be moving. So glad I realized the reglan was my problem and quit taking it. I was better within 8 hours. It did help my milk supply but so not worth the side effects. | F | 30 | 2 days 10 mg 4X day | 6/11/2011 | 5 | constipation issues | cramping of course. makes me hungry. | great. it saved my life. i was not going to the bathroom for 15days in a row til my doc put me on this medication. I only take it when I need to.I could not say its a bad medication at all for me. it made my intestines actually work plus its dirt cheap w/o any health insurance. | F | 36 | 2 months 10 1X day | 6/3/2011 | 1 | severe gastric reflux | Extreme panic attacks. Severe depression. Suicidal thoughts. Extreme anxiety. Out-of-body feeling. Sweating. Mental confusion. Inability to concentrate. | This drug was an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE that ruined my life for several years. Within a day of taking it I experienced extremely severe mental problems that I had never experienced before. I became suicidal, experienced major panic attacks and thought I was going insane. My doctor prescribed Benadryl to counteract the Reglan, but the damage was done. I required anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medicines to counteract the effects of the Reglan; even then, it took months of misery to get the dosages and meds right. Due to Reglan, my life was miserable for several years; to this day (17 years later) I still harbor some of the ill effects from this medicine. It frightens me how cavalierly doctors prescribe this drug; a doctor recently suggested I take it to counteract nausea caused by the laxative prep needed for a colonoscopy. DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!!! The risks are extraordinarily high, and much higher than the benefits. It's my belief that this drug should be removed from the market. IT RUINED MY LIFE; PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!! | F | 43 | 2 days 3X day | 5/28/2011 | 1 | To speed digestion | Extreme agitation and paranoia, restlessness all over my body, anxiety, pain in joints and muscles, aggravated my FMS, insomnia. | I was given this awful drug in the hospital for nausea and before a procedure. One of the worst experiences of my life! I wanted to jump out the window. It took several days to get past the panic and other side effects.

Off the medication it was terrible! I couldn't function or take care of my kids! I had to stop breastfeeding anyways because I couldn't function. | I tried getting off the medication but I called my doctor (a different doctor than who prescribed the medication) and she said to go back on and taper off. I didn't want to do that but I finally did because I coudn't take it anymore. I am currently on 2.5 mg twice a day and will be stopping completely this week. The insomnia is still going on. Ambien has helped. I hope to be off the ambien next week. This medication is horrible! | F | 31 | 3.5 months 10 mg 3X day | 4/18/2011 | 1 | Increase Milk Supply | Was like a switch turned off in my head, Complete disinterest in life, lost connection with my new born and 6 year old, insomnia, diarrhea, loss of appetite, anxiety, depression, felt like my soul was taken away, fear of being alone, hopelessness, felt like I would never be normal again. | THERE IS HOPE!!!! It took me about 4 weeks to be completely back to normal but I am finally there and you will be too. Since I had a newborn I was told I had post partum, even though I told the Dr. it was withdrawl from this horrible drug. 3 Dr.'s obviously knew nothing about this drug and prescribed me zoloft for the depression, xanax for anxiety and ambien cr for the insomnia, which I then had to stop nursing, which was the reason I took Reglan to begin with. I knew it was the Reglan and waited 2 weeks before cosidering the zoloft but ended up giving in and took it. I felt back to normal in less than 2 weeks which the dr. told me zoloft would take about 4-6 weeks to fully work so I went back to the Dr., with a print out from this site as well, and he was amazed at the difference in me. He knew it was not the zoloft and had me get off it. I've been off for 3 weeks and feeling great. I had literally felt like a switch turned off in my head, I had horrible scary thoughts about everything, I lost connection to everyone and eveything that was important to me, I felt like I was ruining my families lives and they would be better off without me, I couldn't make simple decisions and ended up doing nothing. This was the hardest thing I have had to go through and I am praying for all of you who are going through this right now. I really can't comprehend how this drug is still on the market. | F | 34 | 34 days 10 mg 3X day | 4/10/2011 | 5 | to treat slow digestion | I know a lot of people have had serious side effects but I guess i was lucky because I never had any | My doctor is taking me off of reglan because of the risk of side effects but seriously after taking it all this time wouldn't one think that I should have already had some if I was going to. | M | 37 | 8 years 10 MG 4X day | 4/9/2011 | 1 | extreme vomiting during pregnancy | I thought I was going crazy inside my body, I thought I wanted and needed to die. I felt like my insides were moving constantly, while my outsides were sitting still. It was the craziest time of my life and I didn't know it was the medicine until I saw a commercial about a class action suit for people taking Reglan. I stopped taking and it took several weeks before I could go back to normal | Please NEVER take this med | F | 37 | 14 days 3X day | 4/5/2011 | 4 | GERD | mild drowsiness, and tiredness for the first few days. | I found Reglan to work very well for GERD and associated symptoms of bloating and nausea. The drowsiness went away after several days of taking the drug. Reglan should not be used continously for longer than 12 weeks, due to the risk of tardive dyskinesia. I am surprised by so many negative comments about this drug. I have found Reglan to be helpful, with little side effects. | M | 62 | 60 days 10 3X day | 3/26/2011 | 1 | GERD as a result of anxiety | Sever anxiety, insomnia, unable to stay still, stiff neck and paralyzing feeling in left arm,restless legs, numbness in face and neck, choking feeling | I was giving this drug through IV in the ER then prescribed it till i could follow up with my PCP. When I got to my PCP he said it was a terrible drug and he wanted me to throw it away in his office and not even take it home with me. I knew I had problems with anxiety, but it had never been as bad as the week i took this drug. It was like it would never go away and i thought i was going crazy, I convinced myself I had meningitis or a serious disc rupture. Which i kept trying to tell myself I'm only 25 that's probably not the case. My physical symptoms were very real and intense and no one told me the side effects of this drug. it should come with a disclaimer and you should have to sign before you agree to take it. I cant believe they would give someone as paranoid as me and who suffers from serious anxiety this drug. I have stopped taking It for about 24 hours but I still feel like my nerves are on a roller coaster and my neck is very stiff. Anyone with advise after having used this drug, please feel free to e mail me. | F | 25 | 5 days 10 3X day | 3/26/2011 | 1 | nausea | Absolutely crippling anxiety, also a complete loss of interest in life. Profound depression. Terrifying thoughts. I have NEVER felt that bad in my entire life. | This drug made me suicidal.I am lucky to be alive because I didn't realize until it got that bad that these were side effects of the drug. Thank God for this website!!! Needless to say I stopped taking this poison immediately and the suicidal ideation went completely away by the next day. I am still quite jittery and anxious but its only been 2 days (and compared to two days ago I guess you could say I'm doing fantastic!)Scariest experience of my life. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING THIS DRUG!!! | F | 41 | 8 times 10 mg 3X day | 3/15/2011 | 1 | Intestional motility pro./ Nausea | social anxiety/ avoiding socailizing at all cost, choking when eating, biting mouth while eating, facial puckering without intending to, depression, legs crawling, blury vision, weight gain 60 lbs, cold yet sweating, extreme fatigue and lack of motivation | This is the only med that will make my bowels move so I was forced to either take the med and deal or go to the ER every week with am impaction and having intestional infections. God there has GOT TO be something else? Please comment if you know of anything | F | 40 | 1 years 1X AN | 3/14/2011 | 1 | Hiatal hernia, GERD | Burning and itching feet, severe muscle spasms, arm went to sleep, head and neck skin was crawling, difficulty swallowing. | 1st dose feet started itching within 30 mins. 2nd dose feet started itching, severe muscle spasms in neck and upper back, lasted about an hour. 23 hrs. later right arm felt like it was asleep. Next day difficulty swallowing and skin on head and neck crawling. Went to Urgent Care and they gave me Benadryl and I was able to swallow easily and they sent me home.
