| 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 | 2 | Increase Milk Supply | Muscle fatigue and creepy crawly feeling of the muscles, extreme tiredness. | These side effects caused me to NOT want to even hold my baby due to the muscle pains that I was feeling and due to the extreme tiredness. I just didn't want anything to do with her at all. I was only on it for two days and it took two days to get it out of my system and get back to normal. I did not see any improvement in milk supply while on this. My Doctor suggested that I take half a pill three times a day but after reading all the similar cases of side affects I am too scared to go through those same feelings again. I don't think I'll be taking it. I guess it would be smarter to supplement than to risk feeling that way again. | F | 35 | 2 days | 6/15/2009 | 1 | Nausea | Depression, constant crying sometimes for hours, loss of joy | This drug snuck up on me and stole all of my joy. Deep depression and constant crying. After stopping Reglan 12 days ago, I went through a horrible withdrawal. Panic attacks, anxiety, nausea, loss of appetite, flowing thoughts. The anxiety has lessened but I am sad/happy/sad/happy most of the day and wish I could get back some consistent emotion. I start to feel better later in the day and hope this is a sign of things to come. I can't believe there are so many people that have had these adverse effects. Dangerous drug. I want my old self back. | F | 38 | 2 months | 6/15/2009 | 1 | Pregnancy Nausea | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS:Agitation, crawling skin, sucidal thoughts, (even though I am not suicidal), in ability to care for myself or function. I could not go out in public due to anxiety being so severe. | I found this website 6 weeks later and I am sure this is why I am feeling so bad. I would just deal with the nausea. I had to ask the doctor for a Anxiety med. I thought it was just "me". Now I read this site and I am sure it was the Reglan (Metoclopramide) | F | 28 | 45 days | 6/14/2009 | 1 | slow stomach emptying | ANHEDONIA!!! and much more. | This is my second posting. I have been doing a great deal of research about Reglan. Please do some research on Anhedonia and how to treat it. I took Reglan for 8 months 4x a day at 10mgs. I have been off Reglan 4.5 months. Zoloft did not work for me, but does work for some. Nortriptyline did help but could not handle constipation side effect. My doctor has been asking me to consider Wellbutrin as it works on Dopamine. Reglan disrupts dopamine in our brains and causes us to become unbalanced. Anhedonia can be a direct complication of this process. Mirapex is recommended for restoring dopamine health. I have not had a chance to speak with my doctor about this but will do so on Monday. A healthy diet, staying connected to friends and family, and natural supplements that boost brain and nuerotransmission health have also been helpful. | F | 45 | 8 months | 6/7/2009 | 1 | NAUSEA | Everything described here..and more. I still have after effects 2yrs later, including daily thoughts of not wanting to be here. | THIS CAN CAUSE TARDIVE DYSKENESIA [ A MOVEMENT DISORDER] ALSO CHRONIC DEPRESSION, & LOTS MORE... THIS DRUGS BENEFITS DO NOT OUTWEIGH IT'S DANGERS | F | 39 | 7.5 months | 6/5/2009 | 1 | IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome | Confusion, inability to focus or concentrate, forgetfulness, restlessness | I took this drug for 1-2 days for relief of painful colon spasms related to IBS-C. At work I would stare at my computer screen trying to remember why I was staring at my computer screen. My legs were restless and I felt like I could not stay seated in my chair. I had trouble understanding what people were saying to me, and trouble forming complete thoughts and sentences. I've had bad reactions to various medications before, and this time, after researching the side effects, I knew I needed to stop taking it immediately. Didn't help the IBS spasms anyway. They've just put my mom on this medication - she seems hopeful it will help her eat. She reduced her dosage to 5mg and it seems to be helping her. She got dizzy with 10mg. I'm watching her like a hawk. | F | 56 | 1.5 days | 6/3/2009 |
