| 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 | 1 | esophogal spasms | confusion, anxiety, restlessness, pain in neck and upper arms, fatigue in muscles of arms and neck, nausea, sense of doom | I only took 1/2 a tablet four times a day for three days and my neck started aching and feeling like I was being choked and I began trembling and feeling very nerous. I immediately stopped taking the medicine but that was 10 days ago and the effects haven't stopped and at times are worse. | F | 54 | 3 days | 4/15/2009 | 1 | Difficulty swallowing | Tremors, confusion, feeling of having to keep moving, depression, anxiety, thought process out of control. | To prescribe this drug is criminal. It should be taken off the market. It not only destroys the patient 100% but destroys those that love the patient because they no longer have that person with them. Fatal results if you take this drug. | M | 64 | | 4/5/2009 | 1 | GERD, Acid Reflux, Nausea, etc. | Drowsiness, anxiety, depression, sore throat. | Please, don't take this medicine. I'm 17 and I'm miserable because of it. I find it hard to go on living. It will break you down and make you the saddest person on the planet. I stopped taking it 5 months ago, and I'm still not better. I still feel anxiety and severe depression. I fear the damage is permanent. Please please please, don't take this medicine. It's poison to your mind and body. | F | 17 | 6 months | 4/2/2009 | 1 | Increase Milk Supply | I took this medicine for only 1 DAY (1 pill 3x a day) which make me EXTREMELY TIRED and made me not want to be with my baby. By the next evening I experienced severe anxiety to the point that I had insomnia and could not sleep the entire night! The next day at work I had serious anxiety to the point where I wanted to throw up and was shaking and it resulted in SEVERE panic attaks!!! It was crazy because the anxiety totally snuck up on me with no warning! I called my doctor ASAP as I wanted to drive myself to the ER becuase I knew that I was not ok. She told me to come in immediately. My doctor told me that I was just one of the "few" people who have this reaction to this drug and told me to discontinue use!! I have never been so scared in my life! At first I thought it was postpartum feelings since I have a 4 month baby....but it was the REGLAN! I will never again take this drug! | SCARY SCARY SCARY!! SEVERE PANIC ATTACKS ONSET without WARNING! | F | 26 | 2 days | 3/31/2009 | 1 | migraine headache | I took only 2 doses in 22 hours. My throat became sore after the 1st dose and some trouble swallowing. A few hours after the 2nd dose, my throat felt like it was being squeezed with pressure over the aorta vein which was tender and felt like it was bulging. It was like someone pushing on the left side of my throat directly on the vein. My neck became very stiff, and I could not turn my neck without moving my head. It hurt on a scale of 8 out of 10 and increased when I moved a certain way. My entire face hurt. I had to go to the emergency room where they gave me a high dose of steroid and Benadryl. Within 15 minues, I had some relief from the pain and tightness in my throat and the stiff neck. However, 15 hours later, there is some tenderness and pain in the neck area near the aorta. The diagnosis was allergic reaction. While it did help cut the migraine pain in half, it caused FAR more pain and serious side effects. I would NEVER take this drug and have warned all my family and fr | The nurse who gave me the steriod and Benadryl told me that Reglan is a drug she would never, ever take herself. She said that she cringes when the doctors order this drug for patients. If I had taken the prescibed dose, she said I most likely would have ended up like other patients she has seen with their heads rolled back, their eyes rolled back, their arms stretched out and unbendable, and unable to talk. I would not have been able to call family for help if this had happened and who knows what the result could have been. I had carefully read the pharmacy insert that stated SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY STIFFNESS, so I immediately called the ER who advised I come in. | 53 | 1 days | 3/21/2009 | 1 | To Increase Breast Milk Production | Severe anxiety, skin crawling, restlessness, loneliness, misery, fear. Intense feelings of nervousness and a general out of body feeling, definitely felt "not myself". Feelings described by others on this site were right on the money in comparison to my experience. YOU AREN'T GOING CRAZY, IT'S THE REGLAN MAKING YOU FEEL CRAZY. | I had to discontinue taking Reglan after 5 days because I just could not go on with these wierd feelings. I would have taken on any physical or mild mental side effects in order to make more milk for my preemie daughter, but these extreme psychological side effects distracted me and made it difficult for me to be the best mother I could be. IF YOU ARE TAKING REGLAN TO INCREASE MILK SUPPLY and are feeling this way, please remember it is more important and better for you to be emotionally happy and stable for your child and supplement with formula if you need to than to take medication that causes such extreme mental side effects. | F | 22 | 5 days | 3/20/2009 |
