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  nausea Anxiety and severe depression. Couldn't sit still or be in a crowded area. Once I realized it was Reglan and I stopped taking it, it got REALLY Bad. I was horrible for 10 days, until my doctor prescribed Xanax and that helped with the anxiety. I laid in bed wandering if I had tumors, appendicitis, and other disorders. Then I went online and saw what everyone was saying and it helped to know it was the Reglan and I knew relief was down the road. Doctors should do a better job about warning patients about the side effects of this drug. M 32 9 weeks

 1  Nausea EXTREME Anxiety, nervousness, restlessness, suicidal thoughts, homocidal thoughts, uncontrollable movement, extreme body weakness, extreme feeling of wanting to just "GO" This is by far the worst drug EVER! It has the same affects as Compazene. I wouldnt with these side effects on the devil himself. I was in the hospital and the nurse gave me some Reglan via IV, immediately my heart started racing, I became really scared and paranoid. I felt like I just needed to "GO" like I just wanted to leave the hospital. I couldnt lay still, I was freezing yet swaeting all at once. I was having a panic attack. I never had one in my life nor have I ever ever had homicidal or suicidal thoughts but after reciving this drug I was just felt like shooting every one and then myself. I didnt want to be alive. I was having a major outer body experience. I told the nurse and she giggled a bit and gave me some Benedryl to counteract with the Reglan. Thank God for Benedryl because once she gave it to me I felt relieved and back to normal. Never will I take this drug again!!! F 22 1 times

 1  Nausia Leg Tremors, Eye Twiches, Stomach knots, Severe Depression, and the worst Anxiety Imaginable. I wrote about this back in 2007 now it is 2010 and Im still suffering from the side effects of this med. I had been given it at five months pregnant in a hospital in NJ and had a severe reaction, then the same idiot hospital gave it to me again after I had my infant and ruined the time I had spent bonding with that child. Now the tremors and anxiety I experience I wonder if its due to that med since it began after taking that. I would love to sue that hospital especially since they gave it to me AGAIN after the first reaction. Really made me mad. Not sure if statute of limitations has run out, please someone let me know, I really want to put a stop to hospitals using this with Iv 's and such. M 42 1 days

 1  Gastroparesis Reglan is the worst thing that ever happened to me. I was prescribed Reglan for gastroparesis. Shortly after, I started having horrible feelings of anxiety, irritability, and an inability to sit still. I started having panic attacks. I had horrible chills all the time. I couldn't stop pacing my house. In fact, I paced the house so much that my shins were horribly painful, and yet I kept pacing. My husband didn't want me around the children any more, because I was so irritable. Even worse, after I stopped taking the drug, the anxiety didn't completely go away. It has been more than two years since I stopped taking Reglan, but I have to take a low dose of Effexor (anti-anxiety drug) to keep the anxiety and chills away. Reglan continues to ruin my life, even though I stopped taking it some time ago. Do not take this drug! I would rather die than take this stuff!! F 37 6 weeks

 1  Nausea Had nausea after a colon resection and was given one dose of Regalan just before leaving hospital. For almost one week I had Diarrhea hourly (that's HOURLY !). Needless to say, lack of sleep made clear thinking impossible. Began to wonder about "packing it in". A home-made antidote returned everything to normal overnight ! The antidote was a combination of 1 TBS vinegar....1/2 tsp Metamucial and half-glass of water. Sounds like mumbo-jumbo but, it saved my life. M 86 1 days

 1  prevent nausea before surgery This was by far the scariest drug I have ever taken! I was given this drug before my hernia surgery to prevent nausea and I immediately started having a panic attack and my entire body started to feel incredibly weak. I let my nurse know and she said that what I was feeling was a normal side effect. It got to the point where I wanted to start crying and just forget about the surgery. I have never felt this way before and I definitely think this DRUG needs to be taken off the market! F 27 1 days

 1  slow stomach emptying I have only taken this drug once. I went to the hospital to get a gastric emptying study once, and when they found that my stomach emptying was slow, they gave me reglan. The side effects were instant. I got flushed, I felt nauseous, felt like I couldn't breathe. They stopped the test, gave me an oxygen tank, and by then my legs and arms were moving uncontrollably. My teeth were chattering and I thought that I was dying. I was so anxious and moving uncontrollably that I thought I would never get better. The side effects didn't get better until I went to sleep and woke up the next morning. This drug is so dangerous. It can damage your central nervous system. It's not worth it. F 18 1 days

 2  Pre-op to combat post-op nausea Reglan was given IV prior to surgery; within a few minutes, I felt hot and then overwhelmed with panic, extreme anxiety, inability to control my breathing, and I wanted to run away. I was not sure how I could get through the procedure. That night, after the surgery, I was restless and could not sleep all night. I did not have nausea, however, so it was successful in that regard.

 1  migraine I went to the emergency room for a migraine. I was throwing up and was in very much pain. They gave me reglan and bendryl in an IV. Within seconds I began to panic, felt i was going crazy and even thought I was dying. I was given ativan to calm down and also morphine because the reglan didn't help the migraine. I have twitched after this experience ( which was around 2003) every day. My eye lids twitch, my legs, arms, EVERYWHERE! It is irritating more than anything. I had NO idea that Reglan caused this until I read there was a lawsuit out for this drug for causing involuntary muscle twitches. Do not take this drug for migraines. It isn't worth the side effects and it didn't even help the pain. F 49 1 days
