| 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 | 1 | acid reflux | Severe anxiety and depression | It took me almost three months for the physician to discover that Reglan was the source of my extreme anxiety and depression. I have never suffered from these before, and the anxiety and depression were debilitating. I even considered suicide. It took over two months for me to return to normal, and I have had no recurrence of either condition since. For the stomach problems? I'm modifying my eating habits. | F | 72 | 3 months | 6/2/2009 | 1 | Migraine | Terrible panic attack almost immediately. Severe anxiety and very strange dark thoughts. I felt I was going to go crazy. I had gone into the ER for some pain medication for my 3 day migraine and they gave me Reglan in an IV. I thought I was going to die. | It has been 2 days and I still don't feel normal. Since then I have heard of others locally who were on the drug and had experienced suicidal thoughts. This is very unlike me and I will NEVER let a Doctor treat me with a drug I don't know again. | M | 45 | 1 days | 6/2/2009 | 1 | acid reflux, chest pain | I listed my side effects earlier. This is to let everyone know that my side effects have finally stopped. I took reglan for 3 days at the beginning of April and had horrible neck and back pain, muscle rigidity, anxiety, restlessness and was just a total wreck until about 2 weeks ago. The anxiety and restlessness stopped but the pain and stiff muscles continued until yesterday! I am letting y'all know so you will not give up hope. I also let the FDA know about my side effects and recommend that you all do too. You can find them online. | DANGEROUS! | F | 55 | 3 days | 5/28/2009 | 1 | Acid reflux | Drowsiness, unusual tiredness, external shaking, clumsiness, forgetfulness, numbness in head, brain and brain stem, internal shakiness, fear, anxiety, depression, memory loss, loss of mental alertness, difficulty concentrating, difficulty with vocabulary and remembrance of words, wildly fluctuating blood pressure, feeling of tightness and fever in head and face. My doctor now lists Reglan as a drug allergy in my case. | This is absolutely the worse drug I have ever been exposed to. It came very close to killing me. This drug should be taken off the market. No positive result could be worth the devastation this drug creates. I have been under surveillance by my PCP every three months since first taking the drug in 2002. I am still having symptoms now in 2009. This drug almost took my life and my career. I have never recovered to the level of mental alertness and productivity I had before taking the drug. I cannot afford to retire early, but I may be forced to. I find it so difficult to drag myself to work feeling so bad. When I get home I just want to curl up in a fetal position. Surely there is someway to reverse these symptoms? | M | 60 | 3 months | 5/26/2009 | 1 | slow stomach | mask face, anxiety (big time), memory, lost weight, can't sleep involuntary mouth movement- mouth blisters - miscellaneous - It is a drug from hell | cannot drive my car - lost my apartment as I no longer can care for myself. Went off the drug in June 2008 it is now May 2009 and still having big problems. Cannot find anything to help remove the effects of Reglan from my body | F | 90 days | 5/17/2009 | 1 | GERD-Slow emptying stomach | My grandson (8 yrs. old) was given this medication and the first day had a severe reaction with muscle rigidity and was throwing his head back. | First of all, I don't know why this was given to someone so young. He had the reaction when he was in the shower, and my daughter-in-law could barely get him dressed..he was so rigid! | M | 8 | 1 days | 5/14/2009 | 1 | Gastroparesis | SEVERE Anxiety, trouble sleeping. | The first couple of weeks on Reglan were ok than I started having severe anxiety and butterflies in my stomach all of the time. My anxiety got so severe that I was not able to go to work several days. I've stopped taking it for a few days now and while I still have some anxiety, it seems to be easing up. | F | 63 | 45 days | 5/12/2009 | 1 | Reglan IV given in hospital | Psychotic violent outburst which I felt like every cell in my body wanted to kill or seriously injure someone. Paranoia. Began screaming the "f word" and threatening the nurse and doctor. Completely out of character! It was given when I went to hospital for gall stones! Dangerous drug. | I have been told by my physician to list Reglan as a "drug allergy." | F | 57 | 1 days | 5/11/2009 | 1 | GERD | started 6 months with great success in treating gerd and stomach indigestion,1 month into it started having suicidal thought,depression,insomnia,sleeping 10 hours and still being tired, unable to accomplish common tasks, afraid to travel. Spoke to the GI,Cardiology,FamPhys mds and they all looked at me as if I have lost my mind. I truly believed I lost my mind until I found this forum. I stopped reglan yesterday. I hope to come back to myself soon. I'd rather restrict my diet, put up with gerd and stomach pains than feel suicidal. | Did anyone try to decrease the dose to lets say 2.5 mgm? Standard dose is 10 mgm. | M | 57 | 180 days | 5/11/2009 | 1 | reflux and esophageal spasms | Eye pain and twitching severe esophagus and stomach pain | M | 8 | 3 days | 5/6/2009 | 1 | Nausea | Tremors, inability to focus on TV or reading. Could not control sugar levels or Blood pressure, Anxiety and insomnia, Increased whiteblood count. seizures DEATH | They started my mom on Reglan in March of 2008. She started having adverse reaction around Aug and Sept and the doctors did not notice. (She was in a extented care facility). She started having seizures on Oct 1st 2008 and was dead by November 1st. THIS DRUG NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, FYI, if you are in the state of Florida and this drug kills your loved one. (and the doctors did nothing to stop it) you cannot sue. Only if you are a surviving spouse or a child under 25. Where is our protection............. | F | 8 months | 5/3/2009 | 1 | Acid Reflux | I took 4 pills a day as prescribed. I have experienced deep depression, horrible anxiety attached, loss of interest in life,and many more effects that have been explained by others on this sight. | I have been off that poison for 7 weeks. I'm still having severe anxiety. I'm not getting the help I need from my doctors. They will not even admit that I could be having all these side effects from Reglan. If anyone has found any help please let me know where and how. I feel like I cann't suffer from this anymore alone. I'm so afraid that I will be like this the rest of my life. Please Help! | F | 58 | 3 months | 4/28/2009 | 1 | espohagus spasms, acid reflux | It has been 3 weeks since I took Reglan and I only took it for 3 days and I am in excruciating pain in my neck and back and could not sleep last night at all because of anxiety feelings. I have never had any health problems except for acid reflux and have never had any depression or anxiety but I am a wreck. Some days I cannot make myself go to work (I love my job which I've had for 11 years) because it seems to scary. This is a horrible horrible drug. | Do Not Take this Drug! It is not worth the chance of the side effects. | F | 54 | 3 days | 4/24/2009 | 1 | pregnancy heartburn | Indescribable horror & terror. Anxiety, insomnia (nearly 72 hours without sleep), Panic attacks, Depression of the worst kind. I took it while I was pregnant and experienced moderate depression and upon delivery it became my worst nightmare. | I took this medication until I delivered my baby boy..upon which I stopped it cold turkey. I thought it was just terrible post partum depression, which I didn't have a history of. Reading all of your comments makes me want to scream and cry. This drug maker and any Physician who prescribes it should be utterly ahamed. I could have left my children without a mother and my husband without a wife. Yes, I wanted to DIE. I hate that my doctor whom I trusted with my life prescribed it to me. I did begin feeling better within about 8 weeks. I went through about 4 weeks of complete hell until my antideppressant started working. No one, especially a mom with a brand new baby to care for, deserves to feel that way. Absolutely Criminal to make and prescribe this drug in my opinion. | F | 30 | 6 weeks | 4/19/2009 |
