| 1 | Extreme | I can't believe doctors are so irresponsible! This should not be prescribed to children or pregnant mothers. | F | | 5/2/2007 | 3 | severe (all day) morning sickness | dry mouth, some leg twitching, depression, lack of motivation, burping, dizziness. | helped somewhat with the morning sickness, but really just took the edge off. if i take more than 5 mg at a time, i get very sleepy and cold. | F | 37 | 3 days | 4/26/2007 | 1 | Gastroparesis due to Diabetes | Uncontrolled shaking of legs, arms, facial ticks, shaking and movement of the jaw. | Get off this drug immediately. My mother was on this drug for 6 months for stomach problems related to Diabetes. The side effects were horrible, but the doctors didn't know what was causing it. One of her doctors mentioned that some of the symtoms she was having might be caused by the reglan but even the neurologist they sent her to seemed to think she had developed parkinsons disease. After researching the side effects of Reglan I had her taken off of the drug and within a week most of the side effects were gone. The problem with this drug is that the effects can be permanent and the longer you are on it the more likely this could be the case. We've switched her to Domperidone (Motillium), it provides her with the same relief without the nasty side effects. | F | 6 months | 4/23/2007 | 1 | infant acid reflux | My 5 week old son was given this med for acid reflux. He is a happy baby that hardly ever cries. After each dose within 30 min. uncontrollable movements in his legs and inconsolable crying and irritability. Would not let me put him down like usual. Spitting up was actually worse. | I am aToxicologist and based on my reading and personal experience I would not recommend this med unless you are desperate. | F | 36 | 1.5 days | 4/22/2007 | 1 | increase breast milk | the first two pills, I felt extremely tired. But the third pill caused anxiety, jitters, shortness of breath, and chest pain | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. I am miserable and praying for this to get out of my system soon! | F | 29 | 2 days | 4/21/2007 | 1 | acid reflux | Severe Depressionn, crying and suicidal thoughts, pacing, restless, It slowed down my movements and reactions to things. I became very forgetful and had TREMENDOUS ANIXETY. I felt like a black cloud had decended over me. I began to feel hopeless and just wanted to remain in the bed. I began to worry about everything and everyone. I could not sleep over 30 minutes at a time. The symptoms came on gradually over a period of several weeks and kept getting worse. | I had been on this drug for about 90 days. This drug needs a skull and cross bones on the label. NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THIS DRUG I have never been depressed in my life and have always been an outgoing and active person. This drug damn near drove me nuts. I thought I was losing my mind. I am now in my third week of being off of the drug and I am somewhat improved. I find myself having to stay very busy to combat the anixety. The severe depression has abated but I am having to work at it. I had to see a pschiatrist who prescribed both anti anixety medicine for sleeping and an anti-depressesnt. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DRUG THAT PROBABLY SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN TO ANYONE | M | 59 | 12 weeks | 4/16/2007 | 1 | nausea | akathisia[anxiety] tremor, shaking hands, depression,confusion,dont want to do anything,insomnia,no interest in anything, suicidal thoughts. | taken for six months had side affects alot of the time didnt connect it with drug until i read about it six months later.Stopped the drug and still have terrible side affects two months later. Has anyone who has taken it for this long recoverd, if so how ? What medication can help? It is slowly destroying me.. im desperate | F | 39 | 6 months | 4/12/2007 | 1 | nausea due to Amitiza side effects | Anxiety, extreme fatigue, blurry vision, delayed mental ability, dizziness, hot & cold sweats | I was prescribed Reglan to combat nausea cause by Amitiza, a gastrointestinal drug. I took a total of 4 pills over 2 days & have never felt worse! The final straw came after the last pill, when I was having hot & cold sweats, couldn't walk steadily, couldn't see clearly (blurry vision), and had trouble remembering my own telephone number! I have never had such a bizarre, horrible feeling, ever. I was extremely anxious and jittery, but wanted to sleep- at the same time. My co-workers wanted to take me to the emergency room. Luckily, it wore off after about 8 hours, and I've been fine, since I refuse to take it anymore. I'll deal with the nausea, this stuff is scary! | F | 28 | 4 days | 4/10/2007 | 1 | Treatment for nausea & parasites | Involuntary facial movements, leg movements, tremors, eyes rolling back in my head, insomnia, anxiety | I only took one pill and the reaction was so severe that I stopped it immediately. Recovery time was quick. It took about a day to get it out of my system. | F | 26 | 1 days | 4/6/2007 | 1 | nausea | Took reglan for six months started getting akathisia whilst on it and shaking didnt connect it came off it after i read the side effects it could cause been off it for a month suffering with depression anxiety muscle twitching changed personality no motivation suicidal thoughts had to take diazepam to calm me down when will these feelings go it has ruined my life i also have insomnia this drug is torture | F | 39 | 6 months | 4/1/2007 | 1 | does anyone know if these side affects after stopping this drug go i have read some times they are permanent my doctor never warned me about this drug you should not take this drug for a long period of time it is associated with tardive dyskinesia my doctor says that this is rare and so are side affects how wrong is he. Symptons can appear after months of trouble free treatment they can appear as the dose is lowerd or withdrawn.Masking is the term used to describe the ability of the drug to cover the toxic symptons it is producing. POISON messing up the central nervous system potentially irriversable . This drug has messed me up i am praying that it isnt permanent .. so far i have no improvement with my symptons and the doctor says it has nothing to do with this drug ... | F | 39 | 6 months | 4/1/2007 | 1 | GERD | I suffered from severe depression on Reglan. It worked fabulously for my GERD, which had been very severe and had not responded to any other meds. However, I experienced a number of side effects including severe drowsiness (which decreased after I cut my dose in half), mental fuzziness--inability to concentrate and think clearly -- and mild hand tremors. The worst side effects were insomnia, anxiety, agitation and severe depression, which I didn't associate with the drug, because at the time I was feeling quite ill and also undergoing a career change. I had classic symptoms: apathy, inability to get out of bed, depressed mood, feelings of hopelessness. I had no prior history of depression. I went on anti-depressants which improved the anxiety, agitation, and sleeplessness but not the depression. Neither my GI doctor (initially, when I told her I had started antidepressants) nor the psychiatrist I consulted made the connection. This went on for a year, until one month my Rx bott | F | 59 | 1 years | 3/30/2007 | 1 | GERD | Addition on 3/30/07 of depression while taking reglan for GERD. Guess I went on too long. I realized the connection when my Rx bottle had a new label warning about depression. My doctor tapered me off the Reglan and the depression went away. I'm off the antidepressants and fine now. | F | 59 | 1 years | 3/30/2007 | 1 | nausea, pain in stomach | Panic, distress, sweating, the "heebie-jeebies", rapid heart beat, fever, leg cramping, dizziness, and severe anxiety. After immediate discontinuing of taking the medication I continued to suffer anxiety, fever, and dizziness, but also experienced shaking. | I had a severe allergic reaction! I took my first pill before I went to bed and woke up feeling exhausted and unsettled. I took my second pill when I woke up and within an hour went into distress, felt I needed to pace, had an elevated heart rate, anxiety, and general distress. Within 2 hours I was in the Emergency Room and had to be given Benedryl and Ativan to fight the reaction. I was told to never take Reglan again. I still suffered from side effects for at least 3 more days in the form of fevers, shaking, dizziness, and panic. THIS WAS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! | F | 31 | 1 days | 3/17/2007 | 1 | Reflux | Dystonic Reaction. My 3.5 month old daughter hyper extended her neck and eyes rolled up. Took her to ER and they gave her benadryl shots and it stopped. Very, very scary. | F | 3.5 | 1 days | 3/12/2007 | 1 | acid reflux | anxiety, tremors, agitated, insomnia, lost appetite, fluctuating blood pressure, hot flashes, couldn't be left alone, sensitive to all noise, could not focus on anything. | The affects of Reglan were insidious. After taking it for about 4 months I noticed I was starting to worry excessively about things and was having trouble sleeping. My Dr. increased the dosage from 10 mg 3 times a day to 4 times a day and suddenly all of the side effects previously stated appeared. Reglan is a deadly poison. | F | 71 | 6 months | 2/22/2007 | 4 | gastroparesis | None. | I am on chemotherapy(TAXOL) and it seems to have worsened my gastroparesis(slow emptying of my stomach.) Taking Reglan speeds up the emptying of my stomach and really helps indigestion and 'too full feeling'. | F | 67 | 5 years | 2/21/2007 | 1 | nausea from migraines | I had taken reglan on & off for the nausea from my migraines. I had been changed to compazine & had parkinson like symptoms from the compazine. The neurologist that Dx'ed the fact that the compazine was causing the parkinson symptoms told me that reglan can have the same symptoms since I had those symptoms from the compazine & told me never to take reglan since the chance was much greater that I would end up with that extreme side effect. | It worked for nausea at the time I used it, but not willing to take the chance since there are many new meds that work better without the side effects now....especially for cancer patients on chemo. | F | 46 | | 2/16/2007 | 5 | Nausea since Gastric Bypass Surgey | EXTREME tiredness, depression, lack of joy in general | I am so upset that I had bad side effects because Reglan is a miracle for my nausea. I am being weaned off due to the depression, which is a very common side effect | F | 44 | 30 days | 2/12/2007 | 2 | gastroparesis | Anxiety | In place of reglan, two gastroenterologists recommended a drug called domperidone (Motilium), which can only be purchased outside the U.S. I get mine from Canada. Essentially, it works like reglan without the side effect of anxiety and I have not noticed any other side effects. I presently take two 10 mg pills at least 1/2 hour before breakfast, lunch and dinner and I believe it has helped me. There has been talk that it will eventually receive FDA approval but not as yet. There are some pharmacies in the US that have the compound for the drug and will sell it in capsule form. Where I live, in Florida, there are two such pharmacies that I am aware of. That's how I first tried it and have now been taking the Canadian pills for over 9 months. I believe it has helped but one must still eat small meals 5 or 6 times a day. My illness caused much nausea and upset stomach and with the small meals and the domperidone, it is reasonably under control although my gastro guy says that effects o | M | 68 | | 2/6/2007 |
