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  increase milk supply depression, restlessness, disinterested in life, chills, fever, weird weight gain, constant headaches I wanted to do whatever I could to get my milk supply to a viable level so that my son could get that nourishment... but taking this medicine is NOT the answer!!! I had a sudden onset of chills after a week of being completely unmotivated and disengaged from life, and stayed up all night with fever last night when I decided to be done with this medicine. I still have the chills and have been keeping my fever low grade with Tylenol. Still waiting for the headache to go away and to be over the depression. F 30 12 days

 1  surgery After the Surgeon saw that I had a new baby at our meet up and then saw that I breastpumped RIGHT BEFORE surgery he prescribed me Reglan anyway, I had no idea about the medicine I took, nobody told me it would take my milk away, after that 3 days later a family member told me to stop taking it because of its side affects. I was definitley naive about this medicine I was only 19 and no one cared to tell me. Should I sue the surgeon? Or just leave it alone? I can never again breastfeed my baby after 3 months of feeding, the affects were that detrimental even after pumping every day. F 20 3 days

 1  GERD Extrapyramidal syndrome, permanent eyesight damage, vertigo that lasted for a month On day 2, I noticed that my eyesight was blurry. I was dumb enough to take another pill, and ended up in the ER - I lost control of my neck, so my head started to move around scarily. The ER team gave me an antidote, so the cramps stopped, but for the entire next month I didn't feel like myself because of an uncomfortable vertigo. Oh, and my eyesight remained damaged, so I've worn glasses ever since. Feel free to e-mail me to discuss. M 19 2 days

 1  nausea after surgery, then stomach Diagnosed with Parkinson's, so the dr. stopped the Reglan. A neurologist specializing in Parkinson's finally gradually decreased the Parkinson's meds til they were stopped. This made the diagnosis Parkinsonism, a mimicker of Parkinson's. Parkinson's is a degenerative disease that doesn't get better and you never stop your meds. After a 4 yr. journey, though, this journey is over! Mask-like face, unable to express emotions, standing, slow & shuffling gait, altered handwriting - all Parkinson's symptoms & all brought on by Reglan 1st administered in hospital to help with nausea & continued for 1 year. DO NOT TAKE REGLAN!!!!!!!! F 84 13 months

 1  colon cancer surgery Started with arms reaching out.Toe curling,depression,walking blackouts,facial movement,hip thrusting, memory loss,dry mouth,hand clinching,trouble speeking, trouble sleeping,constipation.Tardive Dyskinesia-4 doctors. Black box warning keeps people that took the drug for less than 90 days from taking them to court. It seems that if you take it for a short time and develop these many problems it must be a worse drug than they thought. I thought you had to take it for a long time for it to hurt you. Has anyone in my situation found anyone to help them legally? We need to help each other. M 54 30 days

 4  gastroparesis and nausea Elevated prolactin level. A little fatigue but it does help my nausea. I realize that most people go to these sites only when they've had a problem. You could really scare yourself reading these discriptions. I have a reaction to just about all meds and I tolorated this one OK. It is not a drug I would take frequenty because it does have a bad side effect profile but once in a while it is ok. F 40 5 years

 1  Acid Reflux & Hiatal Hernia It has been several years since I got off this Hellish drug. I am now suffering from restless leg and uncontrollable twitching in my legs at night. Also, always puckering my lips and mouth. My eye sight is also being affected. DO NOT take this medication for any reason whatsoever. It needs to be banned from the market. The consequences of taking it will severely outweight the benefits. You will regret it for the rest of your life. M 41 105 days

 1  acid reflux inability to speak; stuttering when I regained speech; stuttering eventually went away; anxiety (remains a problem); fatigue and extreme tiredness (sleep unusually long and often); took this medication for several years and when I stopped taking it my symptoms disappeared; while on the medication I had nausea and dry heaves to the point of dehydration and subsequent hospitalisations; physician said I was dieing and had to hydrate and eat; physician indicated there might be some psychiatric connection; had extreme weight loss; weighed normally about 165 lbs....went down to 113 lbs.; now weigh consistently about 180 lbs.; the hospital admission that caused me to eliminate reglan was very critical in that I could not enunciate voice to the admitting physician and finally fell into a coma from which I was told I was not expected to recover believe reglan is a very dangerous drug and should be removed from the formulary; I believe it can kill M 64
