| 1 | acid reflux | depression, anxiety, lack of energy | I was prescribed Reglan along with Nexium for acid reflux. While this combination eased my symptoms, I would strongly recommend caution when taking Reglan. I have absolutely no history of depression or anxiety. This drug made me extremely anxious. I also began feeling depressed for the first time in my life. I am very active, but have been chronically tired as of late. After finding this website, I immediately quit taking Reglan. It has been a week, and I am just beginning to feel a little better. | M | 33 | 3 months | 6/18/2008 | 1 | Milk Production | Nausea, depression, anxiety, shaking | DO NOT TAKE REGLAN. Worst drug ever. Hands down. I finally went off it yesterday and although I still feel a little like crap today, I feel so much better now that I'm not taking it anymore. Why was I not warned about the side effects??? | F | 26 | 10 days | 6/13/2008 | 1 | Increase Breastmilk Production | Depression, Skin crawling, Severe Anxiety | I was prescribed Reglan to increase my milk supply - which it did do. I was only on Reglan for 2 days when I started experiencing severe anxiety and depression. I had never experienced any of these symptoms to that degree in my life and could only trace it back to the Reglan that I was taking. I would not recommend this drug to my worst enemy and it needs to be pulled off the market immediately. | F | 29 | 2 days | 6/9/2008 | 1 | GERD | insomnia,anxiety,depression,brain fog,dizziness,feel like i am the small alien inside mans head in movie MEN IN BLACK. | I am in a living hell right now. I dont feel like myself at all. I have been to the emergency room twice and have been diagnosed with anxiety. Was given ativan and benadryl with no success.I was also given a prescription for Xanax which I will not take. Went to my family doctor and was also diagnosed with anxiety and was told that I should see a psychiatrist and was prescribed Lexapro which i also will not take. I printed out these pages to bring to my doctor and was ignored when asked about possibilities of having some sort of damage due to Reglan use. While everyone reacts differently to medications I advise most people DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG UNDER ANY CURCUMSTANCES. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL HAVE A SERIOUS REACTION TO IT. on a side note: Are there any other persons who have had success in regaining their mental alertness. I feel like I am always in a dream. I have left email and hope I can get some good news or words of encouragement | M | 39 | 2 weeks | 6/6/2008 | 1 | Barret's esophagus, GERD | I gradually became more and more depressed to the point that my family noticed it. Not recognizing Reglan as the cause, I saw a psychotherapist. When it didn't improve at all, I began to suspect something chemical but I couldn't figure what. What drove me to do research was a trembling anxiety attack, something I'd never had before. I also developed premature heart beats (15,000 per day) and had to take Tambocor for it. My BP, normally low, went up. All symptoms disappeared when I quit the Reglan. | It worked to control GERD, but it wasn't worth it. I only found out about the depression side effect by accident...no MD suggested it as a possible cause of my problems. Within 1 week of going off it, the depression lessened. Anxiety attack never happened again, even once! I now only take half dose of Tambocor and I suspect I may not even need that but MD is afraid to chance my going off it. | F | 64 | 2 years | 6/2/2008 | 1 | nausea gastroparesis | Depression, severe skin agitation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts. Ended up in a psych unit for 3 weeks where I was simply put on a anti-depessant which did nothing for me except make me foggy. Found out about the gruesome side effects of Reglan at this web site. | Was on 5mg/meal for 3 years, had gall bladder removed in hopes of solving problem. When that didn't work was put on a dose of 10/mg/meal. That's when the severe side effects exploded on the scene. Nothing ever did solve my nausea problem. Stopped using Splenda helped. Will never use Reglan again, it made my life hell. | M | 64 | 3 years | 5/30/2008 | 2 | Milk Production | Jittery; Drowsiness almost lethargic feeling; anxiety; feeling unusually down and helpless | I was taking this for milk production for just a few days and determined that it was the cause of the side effects I was having. I stopped taking it and feel 100% better. I was unaware of the severe side effects. It was my baby's pediatrician that mentioned that these side effects existed and he recommended I not take it. Weird coming from the pediatrician. He did note that some people have none of these side effects. I felt these side effects almost immediately so I think if you feel these or other side effects that basically make you feel crazy you should contact your Dr. | F | 32 | 3 days | 5/27/2008 | 3 | Gastroparesis | Depression, anxiety, diarrhea | Drug has really helped the bloating and nausea associated with the condition. I'm ONLY taking 10mg once a day. Unfortunately, soon after beginning Reglan I experienced heightened bouts of depression alternating with anxiety. I attributed it to other things in my life. Then the uncontrolable episodes of diarrhea began. Symptoms continue to persist during the five months on Reglan. It has made me virtually housebound. I traced the onset of symptoms to the start of the Reglan. Having begun research today, I stumbled upon this site and was amazed and enlightened. Why did an Endocrinologist, Cardiologist and Internist all not offer a warning to this med. Reglan definitley helped my gastroparisis, but I can't handle the side effects and will begin weaning off today. Thank you to every one for your comments and warnings. | M | 53 | 5 months | 5/26/2008 | 2 | gastroparesis | anxiety, fatigue, muscle pain/spasms, insomnia | I am currently on 10 mg 2x/day. I have to take Klonopin with it sometimes because it worsens the muscle pain I already have due to fibromyalgia, and it increases my already high anxiety level. The side effects are pretty awful, but my gastroparesis is so bad that I am willing to try anything at this point, including increasing the dosage of the Reglan. Thus far, I have not noticed a difference in the severity of the reflux, which is the worst symptom I get from the gastroparesis. I have also been overeating at night, which really doesn't help, and has only started happening since I began taking the Reglan; it seems to be due to a combination of fatigue from the medication and the reflux itself tricking me into feeling "hungry." | F | 29 | 14 days | 5/5/2008 | 1 | to increase breastmilk production | depression, anxiety, sleeplessness | I was prescribed Reglan to increase milk production... while it did work very well for this purpose, it also resulted in me spiraling into a depression -- something I have never before experienced. After researching the drug (and finding this site) I stopped taking the drug, and began to feel better almost immediately. A few weeks later (after my milk supply began to dry up) I figured I'd give it another shot, just to make sure that I hadn't simply been experiencing normal postpartum feelings. Within a day of taking the drug, I started to feel horribly depressed again, and that's when it became abundantly clear to me that I could not tolerate this drug. I haven't taken it since. | F | 39 | 6 weeks | 4/22/2008 | 1 | bloating | Anxiety, depression, confusion, suicidal thoughts, feelings of worthlessness, short term memory loss, high blood pressure, elevated pulse...... | Terrible drug. Took for 3 - 4 10mg tablets a day for 10 months. Prescribing Dr. did not mention side effects. I have been off of it now for 6 weeks and been on Celexa for 4 weeks. Anxiety persists. Symtoms did not go away when I stopped taking it. Dr. told me that they may never go away. That's scary. No problem could be bad enough to take this drug. | M | 53 | 10 months | 4/21/2008 | 1 | morning sickness | Severe Anxiety, feeling as if I want to jump out of my skin | made me feel better but not worth it!!!!!! | F | 34 | 1 weeks | 4/15/2008 | 2 | Severe reflux, Hernia | Made me start LACTATING! I was FULL of BREAST MILK! | I have 3 kids and had my tubes tied 4 years ago, imagine my surprise when milk started pouring out of my breasts!! But maybe it was a blessing in disquise, after reading all the other comments, it seems I got off pretty easy!! | F | 33 | 1.5 months | 4/10/2008 | 5 | Nausea from migraines | None | I don't take much - 10 mg at early onset of migraine. No orblems at all with a low dose | M | 54 | | 3/30/2008 | 1 | gastroparesis | While it worked in the beginning, I later developed severe side affects that put me in the emergency room twice. Weakness, muscle fatigue, chills, disorientation (thought I was from Mars), etc. | I think it works for some people, but I simply cannot take the drug due to the serious side affects they warn you about in the literature. I would be very careful with this drug. | F | 52 | 14 days | 3/28/2008 | 5 | gastroparesis | I have experienced no known side effects. It's been a life safer for me, I'm still eating food! | 2 years | 3/27/2008 | 1 | My dad was taking for it two years...it is awful, severe depression, tremors, sleeplessness...this is a drug that should have only be prescribed for 4-6 weeks and was on it for two years until his family took control of his situation.It ruined my dad's life for two years. | F | 30 | 2 years | 3/27/2008 | 1 | In Hsp for migraine | Extreme anxiety, crawling skin, severe diarrhea, insomnia, depression, twilight feeling, not myself, head and neck shaking and nausea, suicidal thoughts! | I was given reglan while in hsp for DHE to handle my migraines in 2006. Within an hour after first IV dose i felt all of the symptoms, and nurses kept saying they did not know why. Arrived in the Hsp in the am for an inpt stay and did not sleep until 6am the next day. Was suppose to stay for one week, but due to the symptoms checked out the very next day! When i saw my neuro she said " oh it was the reglan" like nothing. One month later after being off of it had a complete breakdown, w/all symptoms and have been going to my doc ever since to figure out what is wrong. It is now TWO years later and i still experience all symptoms, had the same breakdown last year as well. I just looked up reglan and cannot believe that this is what it is. Have not been the same since, i have never been depressed, or anxious and i am somewhat relieved that i am NOT crazy and know that i am not the only one, but this is Disgusting to think that DOCTORS are giving this medication and taking li | F | 36 | 1 days | 3/24/2008 | 1 | Acid Reflux | UPDATE for users: This stuff should have skull and crossbones on it. I posted an email on 4/16/07 about this drug and how its effects on me. You may wish to scroll back and read my posting. Fortunately I suffered no long term effects from this (poison). It is unbelievable it is still on the market. It took me almost 8 months for all the physical and mental symptoms to abate. I thought it might be helpful to some of you fellow suffers for me to post the drugs that I used to finally beat this thing. The drugs mentioned below were prescribed by my primary care physician and later by a phycharist. He said it was one of the most troublesome drugs on the market. I did not file a lawsuit. Fortunately the physical symptoms were mild in my case ( trembleing of my left hand and facial masking. They went away after about 3 weeks but the depression, crying,and anxiety took about eight months to completely disappear. I took the medicines listed below from April of 2007 until September of 2007. | M | 60 | 90 days | 3/22/2008 | 1 | nausea/vomiting | Full blown unbearable restlessness and anxiety after IV reglan in the E.R. Now days later I am back to square one with anxiety and depression that was resolved 15 years ago. | Please, under no circumstances take this drug if you have a history of anxiety/depression. I was in no condition to research this drug at the time. Wish I had been warned. | M | 55 | 1 times | 3/19/2008 |
