Take something else when at all possible. My mother 65 years old was put on reglan after her recent gallbladder surgery. After about 2 months she started having tremors and after 4 months she had the staring gaze,whispery voice, mask-like face, shuffle gait,etc. After reviewing her meds with her Dr. he took her off of Reglan. We are on day 12 and she is not 100% yet but she is considerbly on the road to recovery! Keep an eye on your family members people! She tells me she was just as shaky on the inside as she was on the outside. She can't drive right now and had to stop working until she is better. I am a RN and I am just glad I was blessed with the knowledge to intervene. My Mother has no history of Parkinsons. It can happen to you becareful! | F | 65 | 4 months | 3/11/2008 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Depression,anxiety,panic attacks,insomnia,restlessness,suicidal thoughts,confusion,twitching,dry mouth,hot flashes,inability to carrying on conversations,fear of crowds,fear of being alone | I was pregnant and put on this for reflux. I went from being a happy,confident,passionate wife and mother-to-be to an invalid that had to be watched and cared for 24 hours a day for over two months. I wanted to end my life and destroy the baby inside of me. We were never warned of the side effects by the docs. or on the script. bottle. I came off it after 4 weeks and with the help of Zoloft I'm doing better. It's been 10 months and I still have anxiety of coming of the Zoloft for fear of relapsing. Luckily, this evil drug did not stop me from falling madly inlove with my beautiful 7mth old daughter, but it did rob me from enjoy her growing and kicking inside of me. This drug is dangerous and my family would like to see it taken off the market. If anyone is interested in a class action suit, please email because this drug warrants it!!! | F | 32 | 4 weeks | 3/9/2008 | 1 | Close relative took the drug. | Anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping. | This is my second posting to this site. Has anyone found an enlightened physician or mental health provider that, first of all, acknowledges the side effects of Reglan and, secondly, has had success in the treatment of the side effects of the Reglan after a patient reacts to Reglan and discontinues using it? Thanks for any doctor names and contact information. | F | 60 | 6 months | 3/7/2008 | 1 | chronic nausea | Depression; fatigue in arms and legs. | Started taking Reglan during a hospital stay for spine surgery. Several weeks later I was suffering from nausea after meals, so my doctor put me back on it. I was on it for 3 or 4 months until I finally quit after sliding into severe depression. My family has a history of depression, but *I* don't, or rather, I *didn't* until taking this drug. I KNOW this was the cause. It was truly hell, folks. After a year of anti-depressants, I'm back to normal, but I will NEVER take Reglan again. Be very careful if your Dr. prescribes this. | F | 52 | 4 months | 2/25/2008 | 1 | Increase Milk production | anxiety, panic attack like episodes, depression, dizziness, foggy feeling, unexplained crying, fatigue, jittery, insomnia, twitching, shakiness, high blood pressure, thoughts of wanting to harm myself, leg pain, jaw tooth pain, feeling of doom/ death; blurry vision, dry mouth, confusion, irritability, afraid to be alone, episodes of passing out | I had a very traumatic birth of twins and following an icu stay, and was experiencing a low milk supply when the babies came home; ob prescribed regaln, however DID NOT WARN OF ANY OF THESE SIDE EFFECTS; i was not a good candidate to take this medication as i was experiencing some post traumatic stress disorder symptoms, but this medication severely intensified them. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS MEDICATION THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DESCRIBED TO POTENTIAL PATIENTS. When I stopped taking the medication, the symptoms seemed to get better immediately, though they were not gone completely. The babies also became increasingly more fussy as time went on, as they were getting more of the medication through the breast milk. How long does it take to feel better? Has anyone successfully sued or otherwise held their h/c provider responsible for prescribing this medication w/o proper description? | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 2/18/2008 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Dizziness, restlessness, fatigue, insomnia, nervousness, hot flashes, muscle spasms and leg twitches. | Doctor prescribed this medication without any warning about side effects. I was prescribed Reglan for Gastroparesis. It helped my stomach but caused several side effects that were making me crazy. I later learned that these side effects can become permanent even after you stop taking Reglan. Use extreme caution in taking this medicine. It works for some people but beware of side effects that could become dangerously life altering. | F | 25 | 5 days | 2/10/2008 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Severe spasms in ribs, stomach, chest. Edema behind eyes and right temple. Shortness of breath. Headache, tics on right side of body-arm and head.Short term memory, feeling like you are going to lose it. Heart racing, nausea. Unconscious, elevated BP, elevated Heart rate, panic attack. | This drug needs to be removed from the FDA. It is a dangerous drug that not even rats should be given. I wound up in the ER and stayed a couple of days. If the doctor was not at my bedside and knew what was happening, I would be dead today.They would have treated me for a stroke because my BP went to 180 and my heart rate went to 160 but he gave me BENYDRAl rate away. It is scary when you know you are dying and see in the distance a door with the brightest light! From all this mess I now have seizures which I never ever had in my life which I now attribute to REGLAN. TAKE THIS OFF THE MARKET, SO OTHERS WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE. | F | 55 | 2 weeks | 2/5/2008 | 1 | Stomach Virus | After only taking a small dose I experienced severe depression, complete insomnia, the side effects took several months to get over and were significantly worse than the stomach virus | DO NOT TAKE REGLAN! DOCTOR'S AREN'T SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY WILL SOON ENOUGH. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS! | F | 25 | 2 days | 1/26/2008 | 4 | Gastroparesis | None noted | Have not had a single problem with it, but I only take 10mg once a day or as needed. I have not taken more than 20mg at a time so far. | M | 42 | 6 months | 1/24/2008 | 1 | moring sickness | felt out of my head! felt like i was out of my mind! It took about 5 hours and i only took 1/2 a dose! | Needs to have a big warning on each bottle! It was awful!!!! | F | 31 | 1 days | 1/20/2008 | 1 | Acid Reflux, Nausea | Age 8-11 no side effects noted. Age 12-14 depression, suicidal thoughts/attempt, extreme mood swings. Age 17:Dystonic reaction, Tardive dyskinesia, grandmal convultions, abnormal twisting of the body, loss of ability to walk | This drug nearly caused my death when I was 17. I had a very rare but possible reaction to the drug that left me in the hospital for a month with convultions. I was released with lots of ativan and valium to keep me sedated, and psychotherapy ensued after my release. I kept having involuntary movements and anxiety attacks up to three months after the removal of the medication, by which time I began fasting and praying for a miraculous healing. I was healed by God that's for sure, the doctors gave me no hope of ever getting better and psychologically I was a mess as a side effect from the medication. I'm now a fully functional and happy full time college student and full time worker. Thank God! | F | 21 | 6 years | 1/18/2008 | 1 | reflux / morning sickness | My daughter was prescribed this med at 2 days old because of a SEVERE reflux problem. She had to take Reglan and Nexium before every meal (5-6 times a day) for the first 9 months of her life. We had no known side effects at the time...over the next couple of years she had major language delays and sensory issues. When I was pregnant with my last child I was extremely sick. So sick that Zofran would not work on its own. After a hospital stay because of dehydration my OB prescribed home health care and a reglan pump as well as Zofran. The combination worked. Again I had no known side effects. My concern is that I have 4 children two of the four are very intelligent ( not being obnoxious - things just come very easy for them.) The other two who both had reglan either directly our through my pregnancy have major language delays. The older of the two has been diagnosed with Sensory integration disorder, auditory processing disorder, visual processing disorder and a severe expressiv | I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that has had a similar situation with this medication and their children? If so please e-mail me or post here. Something should be done about these kinds of medicines. | F | 38 | 9 days | 1/15/2008 | 1 | increase milk production | Severe anxiety and depression. | I had been taking Reglan for a period of time before noticing the depression and anxiety creaping up. I have zero history of either and am now having to take Zoloft to stabilize my mood. This drug has done no good for me what so ever. I did not find it helpful in increasing my milk supply either. I find this drug to be HORRIBLE and would not advise taking it! | F | 31 | 4 months | 1/15/2008 | 1 | acid reflux | Mind and body numbing anxiety. | Be VERY careful about taking this drug, especially if you have a history of anxiety and/or depression. I took 5 mg./day for 2 weeks then 10 mg/day for the next 2 weeks. I became more irritable than usual so cut back the dose but it was too late. After 1 more week I went off completely and plunged into the worst anxiety I've ever experienced; it was a nightmare. After much trial and error with different anti-anxiety meds my PC doctor prescribed 5 mg./day of Zyprexa which is normally used for bi-polar disorders. It helped almost immediately; my doc said I should be able to go off it after a week or so. | F | 52 | 5 weeks | 1/3/2008 | 1 | Miagraine | Panic attack, suicidal thoughts | DO NOT take this medicine. I was given Reglan IV for my miagraine in the ER. I immediatly became panic. I didn't know what to do with myself. I was given Benadryl to counteract the side effect. | F | 30 | | 12/26/2007 | 1 | nausea from early pregnancy | I was having nausea and was given Reglan via iv. Shortly, I began to feel crazy like I didn't wanna be here, I wanted to schedule an immediate D&C (abortion) and I couldn't stop pacing the floors. I just wanted to be home where I could feel safe. | I begged the nurse to take it out. I felt trapped under the Reglan influence and something made me KNOW it was the Reglan. They took it out and offered Benedryl. I refused. I was prescribed Zofran for my nausea and was sent home. Zofran is a miracle and I wish they had given me that first! DOWN WITH REGLAN!!! DO not take it!!! | F | 33 | 1 days | 12/26/2007 | 5 | gastroparesis | Mild leg twitches and jitteriness that subsided as my body got used to the medication. | While the doctors have yet to figure out why I have gastroparesis, this is the only thing that has helped with my delayed stomach emptying. Before Reglan food could sit in my stomach for up to nine hours; occasionally causing me to get so sick that I would end up in the ER. It definitely helps with the nausea too. | F | 40 | 2 years | 12/23/2007 | 2 | Gerd, Esp bad upon rising in AM. | On dosage of 20 mg/day (5 mg thirty minutes before meals and at bedtime): severe diarrhea(at least 15 urgent bowel movements daily, soiling of underwear), extreme eye dryness, twitching of lower eyelid of left eye. | These symptoms slowly developed over first 3 weeks of use. When I called the Dr' office, I was NOT told of the possibility that they were side effects of the Reglan, and to take OTC diarrhea medication. I am stopping the Reglan on my own, even though my GERD is not fully controlled by 30mg Prevacid in the AM, and 40 mg famotidine at night, plus bed slanted over 8 inches). | F | 69 | 6 weeks | 12/6/2007 |
