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  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

 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

 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

 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

 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
