| 2 | gastroparesis | Breathing issues, anxiety, nervousness, sleeplessness, tremors. Can not function. | I had been taking Reglan for about 3 months. Its has changed the way I have been living. It would work for the Gastroparesis 3 out 7 days of the week. Reglan would get me worked up enough emotionally ( in which I ve never been before in such a matter) that I would heave, throw up. I just came of the reglan last week and the symtoms increase 3 fold. I couldn't breath on Friday and had to go the the er. I drove in that conditon. If you can I recommend you avoid this drug. There are two more medications out there that help. One is Euthomysine(sp) and the other is Domperidone ( its approved everywhere except for the US)The side effects are still affecting me and I m taking three types of Anxity meds in which I ve never had to take before. If any one from OEF or OIF (Afghanistan or Iraq) that has been affected by gastroparesis please let me know. | M | 39 | 3 months | 9/6/2009 | 1 | increase milk production | shakiness, drowsiness, insomnia, depression; withdrawal--anxiety attacks, severe insomnia, skin crawling, inability to sit still | Worked like a charm to increase my milk production, but not worth it! While taking the medication, the side effects were livable, but after going cold turkey I thought I was going to die or lose my mind. My doctor put me back on the reglan at a lower dose and tapered off, which helped the anxiety, and put me on Lexapro. I took Xanax and benadryl to help me sleep--not very effective, but better than nothing. Now I'm on Ambien, which helps sometimes. All the anxiety symptoms are much better after 4 weeks. Still having major trouble with sleep though. | F | 10 weeks | 9/3/2009 | 3 | Migraine | I had an extreme anxiety attack within minutes after receiving 10mg of Reglan IV. I felt like a was going to stop breathing and could not stop crying and screaming for help. It stopped after 5 minutes when the IV Benadryl kicked in. I would recommend having Benadryl given and then Reglan instead of vice versa. After I recovered from the anxiety attack, my migraine did go away. My chest is still heavy and I still feel jittery. | F | 23 | 1 days | 9/2/2009 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Skin crawling, can't sit still, anxiety, profound desire to sleep, loss of interest. | Thank you for this website and thanks to everyone who shared their experiences. I am in tears, mostly of gratitude, to know I am not crazy. I've been trying to explain how I feel to my husband and I know he doesn't understand... | F | 42 | 6 months | 8/22/2009 | 1 | Increase Milk Production | despondence, flat hopeless affect | My wife was on this for months. It got to the point where I didn't know who I was married to anymore. She cared about our child and making sure he was adequately supplied while nursing, but at the same time she lost all interest and care about anything else. She wanted to give up, throw our jobs and friends away and move. There was moodiness but mostly she was totally disengaged all the time. People who new her were on eggshells around her. I witnessed many of the psychological symptoms described by others, but the most detrimental was the denial. The negative effects of this drug were an unnoticeable slow buildup. For a long time we dismissed these feelings as part of being a new mom. It got the the point where I could see signs of dependency and I sought help for us. Our marriage was suffering and our child was able to get adequate nutrition without having to nurse as much. Since stopping the medication our communication has been restored and she is able to once again laugh and smile genuinely. She's like she was before. This drug isn't worth it. The denial and change in demeanor is noticeable by family, friends, and colleagues and it can cause long term detriment to relationships and careers. Not to mention, there is a class action suit now being brought against the makers related to onset of Tardive Dyskinesia, which is irreversible. | M | 31 | 8 months | 8/18/2009 | 1 | migraine | right after the nurse injected this in my iv, i just felt this lighheadness, and i just started freaking out feeling like i couldnt be comforted at all by anything: i demanded to go home over and over and over and over: the nurses rushed into the room and asked me if i was feeling like i was crawling out of my skin, i was crying and twitching so bad that i nodded yes and she ordered more benadryl to be injected in. I was supposed to have a ultrasound, but I demanded to stop treatment so i could recover at home from the reglan (this has happened before and the doctors didnt do anything about me twitching and having a anxiety attack!!!) I slept it off and I now cannot sleep due to the side effects. | dont ever take this. Its not worth it. The skin crawling experience occurs in about 1 out of every 1000 patients. It just was the most traumatic experience. | F | 20 | 4 times | 8/10/2009 | 1 | Various stomach problems | Very severe Dystonic reaction after 2nd dose. | Whatever you do, for the love of God, STAY AWAY from this medication. It was given a "black box" warning for a VERY good reason. I was given this a month ago to help me with some stomach problems. 30 minutes after my second dosage, my muscles started spazzing out and contorting themselves. I couldn't keep my mouth open or shut my eyes, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't control my tongue, my limbs were going crazy, and I'm pretty convinced my neck was trying to break itself. It was probably the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I waited an hour and a half in the emergency room just to get some damn benadryl to stop it. Thankfully, it did. My whole body was so sore afterward it was ridiculous. Let me just say I will never, ever, EVER even so much as THINK of taking this godforsaken medicine ever again. Funny thing is, my case was considered 'mild' compared to others. What is that telling you? | F | 15 | 2 days | 8/8/2009 | 1 | Acid Reflex | These pills are the worst creation in drug history. When I had taken it and had gone through a panic attack right after taking them. She continued to suffer from headaches and hotflashes and major sweating. | F | 42 | 2 days | 7/30/2009 | 1 | nausea | severe muscle cramps, involuntary movements my jaw clamped down and twisted outward i literally felt like my jaw was being ripped off my face, i chipped several teeth cause of it. it was hard for me to breath i have never been in so much pain in my entire life. I thought I was going to die. | F | 18 | 2 days | 7/26/2009 | 4 | Gastroparesis | Constipation, sore legs, feet "glued to the floor". Compared to how I felt before taking this med, I thought this med was great. Doc would only let me stay on for a month though to see how well it worked. I was scared I would get TD but did not happen. Worst was withdrawl. Restless, Anxious, Insomnia, "buzzing" in my shoulders, lasted 2 days | Reglan scrip was replaced by Domperidone scrip. Drug is only available from Canadian Pharmacy. Supposed to have all the good effects of Reglan but none of the bad. We'll see. Only been taking for 5 days and suffered through Reglan withdrawl for 2 of them. | M | 50 | 36 days | 7/22/2009 | 1 | my sister stomach seem to hurt all the time and she did want to eat and sleep all the time | the doctor should know that this medicine would do this people if the fda black box it. | F | 29 | 3 years | 7/16/2009 | 2 | gatroparesis/nausea/ stomach pain | I couldn't understand why I was so depressed all the time. At first I thought I was just depressed because I was ill most of the time. After discontinuing the medication I realized that was it...the medicine was making me depressed. I've always been the nervous type but when I was taking reglan I stayed jittery. In addition, there were a lot of times that the medicine heightened all my symptoms instead of relieving them. | Those pill are poison and everyone should stop taking them. What good is the medicine if you kill yourself. The doctors should be ashamed of themselves to keep promoting medicine that attacks a persons mental state. Thank God I did not take the stuff 3 times a day like they directed or I might not be here to talk about it. It is that bad! | F | 4 years | 7/14/2009 | 1 | Gastroparesis | depression, couldn't stop moving, rocking back and forth, anxiety, felt like jumping out of my skin. | This stuff is poison, should be taken off the shelf | M | 38 | 3 months | 7/7/2009 | 1 | Nausea, side effect of migraine | EXTREME tachycardia! Went to ER for severe migraine. Was given pain medication via IV. Also given Reglan to prevent nausea. Had an instant adverse reaction. My heart started beating so fast, felt like it was going to explode out of my chest. VERY, VERY scary. Had to scream for the nurse. She panicked, and gave me a shot of Benadryl to counteract negative side effects. | There are other anti-nausea drugs out there. Please do your research and try to avoid this medication if you can. | F | 45 | 1 days | 7/1/2009 | 5 | gastroparesis | I had headaches and such at first - but i have been taking this medication for 3 years - 1 5mg tab 3x per day. It has helped me tremendously. I tried to quit it because all this controversy scared me, and believe me - it's painful. Then i thought to myself maybe everyone else is having side effects but at this point i am not, and why would i stop something that works really well. Im sorry that everyone else has had bad experiences but i have not. | F | 54 | 3 years | 6/30/2009 | 1 | post surgery for ruptured appendix | My son was on REGLAN (by IV) for 2 days. On the morning of day 2 he began to get a stiff neck that very quickly became excrutiating. With-in minutes he began involuntarily twisting his neck, forcing his chin up and back to the right. His eyes were rolling upwards and to the right, as well. | This was very scary for a grown up to see, but even worse is the memory for my son. At 12 yrs old, he was scared by the surgery and uncomfortable from the pain from that. Then this happened and he recalls exactly what it felt like. It was terrifying for him. | M | 12 | 2 days | 6/25/2009 | 2 | Diabetic Gastroparesis | Restlessness, nausea & abdominal pain, sweating | This medication may work very well for some. I would most certainly use caution with it. It may work well for a time but after a while the side effects diminish the effictiveness. My 67 year old father had the same side effects but with MUCH worse sweating. He is off Reglan and the sweating stopped. | F | 36 | 30 days | 6/23/2009 | 5 | stomach empting | Hands shaking | M | 53 | 2 years | 6/18/2009 | 5 | gastroparesis | F | 56 | 2 years | 6/18/2009 | 1 | nausea and stomach uneasiness | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE TERRIBLE On my 6th day on the medicine I went to the gym, shortly after I got off the treadmill I experienced uncontrollable movements in both my hands which soon became a lil painful. By the time I made it to the emergency room my face kept moving up and down and and the uncontrollable jerking went to my neck. I thought I was having a seisure! | DONT LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT REGLAN, EVEN IF THEY SAY THE SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS ARENT COMMON, IT IS NOT AT ALL WORTH THE RISK. | F | 20 | 6 days | 6/18/2009 |
