REGLAN  (METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness. Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines. This drug is not recommended for use in children due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements). Ask the doctor or pharmacist for details.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Severe Migraine/ nausea, vomiting, I took Reglan once before when I was younger for a kidney stone and I had the same feelings. I thought maybe because I was younger I was just making things up. Nope! Took it in July for a sever migraine attack. I was vomiting left and right. They administered the dose(I do not recall how many mg) of Reglan and Benadryl and I immediately felt this warm rush across my chest that instantly made me anxious. I felt as if someone was pushing on my chest. I recall crying and jumping on top of the bed telling then nurse to take the medicine out of me. I went to a very well known hospital in Michigan rated the top in the world. But they were not prepared for reaction I had with the medication and honestly me as well. At the end of the night I had my sister, mother and 2 other nurses holding me down. I do not recommend it for people that experience anxiety. I’m a medical assistant but I am not a doctor. Definitely ask your provider if this medicine is for you. But from my experience it’s made my anxiety 1000 times worst even after. The “migraine-mix” did not work for me what’s so ever and neither did Reglan. Now whenever I go to a health professional I tell them I am allergic to Reglan... F 23 0 days

 1  Gastritis Akathisia, anxiety, panic, suicidal thoughts, suicidal ideation, depression, scared to be alone, depersonalization Please listen and take these reviews seriously. This drug ruined my life in a matter of 3 weeks while being a first time mom. It’s been 4 months since I’ve stopped it and still experiencing torturous side effects. Akathisia being the worst one. I feel like I’m being constantly electrocuted, my nerves are on fire 24/7, I think about suicide everyday because I truly cannot live with these symptoms. Please don’t take this drug, I came to find out it’s an old school antipsychotic, crosses the blood brain barrier, and a dopamine antagonist. This drug should be banned, and I’m willing to get through this just to do something about this later and to get this drug off the market. This is not how I wanted to be after giving birth and now I have a 6 month old baby on top of dealing with these horrific symptoms. F 24 3 weeks

 1  Nausea I was given one dose through an IV in the ER for nausea. It's been over 2 and a half years since and I still haven't recovered. Horrific akathisia, constant sensation of being struck by lightning, feeling like my skin is slowly being peeled off but on the inside, a horrific sensation inside every nerve in my body, intrusive thoughts and urges, a need to escape my body at all costs, OCD, hand, eye, and tongue tics, a feeling that it's excruciating to lie still, insomnia, inability to tolerate food, etc. It is constant unbearable torture. Do not take this. Ever. Especially if you have an MTHFR or CYP mutation, health issues, or take any other medication. F 26 1 days

 1  Bloating/Gerd Intense restlessness (akathisia) did not sleep for 18 days. Still have akathisia 16 months later. Facial and trunk dystonia, jaw locking, jerking, involuntary movements in hand/feet, gastroparesis, hallucinations, paranoia, OCD, cannot lie down, difficulty walking and speaking at times. Suicidality. Have about 50 symptoms including vision and hearing. I also lost my sense of smell. Research CYP450 enzymes I have multiple polymorphisms in Cyp2d6. Yolande Lucire tells it like it is. Intolerance to other drugs/vitamins/foods that were OK before reaction. Probably have mild Tardive Dyskinesia as well but waiting up to three years to see if it goes away. Do not take. Risks far outweigh benefits. People commit suicide because side effects are so bad. I'm just about hanging in there. F 41 7 months

 1  Nausea, vomiting, severe headache The ER gave this to me as part of a cocktail that is used for migraines. Except I wasn't experiencing a migraine. I told the nurse I have reacted badly to Reglan in the past but she still gave it to me. As soon as she started injecting it my heart rate went up to 128, I told her my heart was racing and I didn't feel good and I felt extremely hyper, like I needed to get up and run. My legs were shaking. She stopped for a min and watched my heart rate and said it was high but it was going back down so she continued to administer more medication. I couldn't sit still! I started shaking uncontrollably, my teeth were chattering and clenching, my hands were shaking and flapping all over. I felt like I was having a seizure. She looked at me and asked if I wanted a warm blanket. I said I wasn't cold I just can't stop shaking. She said I just needed to give the medicine time to work and I should feel better. I got 2 other medications, benadryl and lorazepam. I don't remember much after that except waking up. When I woke up I had to pee. I tried to get up but my legs felt so heavy I could barely walk. One of the nurses had to help me to the bathroom because she was worried I would fall. I WISH I HAD REFUSED THAT MEDICATION. It didn't help me at all and just added to my symptoms, making me feel worse. The only thing that helped me was the zofran for the nausea and vomiting. The Reglan and other medications did nothing for my headache or the pain. They started the discharge process and a F 51 1 days

 5  Chronic pancreatitis and gastritis Reglan can cause serious side effects especially if taken regulary/daily. It does cause me to have intention tremors but that goes away when I'm not taking the reglan. This drug is a life saver for me. It has actually helped me stop a gastritis attack while I was already vomiting. I avoided hospitalization twice because of this medication. Though this is a great and effective drug, I would strongly advise to take as little as needed and as infrequently as possible due to the known potential side effects. F 46 6 months

 1  Nausea/vomiting This medicine has taken the joy out of my life. I was given this for nausea in the hospital and I wanted to die. I was thrashing around and crying for the anxiety to just stop. Now I'm left with tremors more than a month later. I don't want to be alone, I cling to those around me and beg for the pain to end. It's not let up at all and I'm so scared that I'm going to spend the rest of my life terrified, anxious, joyless and miserable. I'm currently on an anxiety medicine and seeing a therapist. I have back to back panic attacks when I don't take my Vistaril. I wish the ER doctor would have told me about these side effects before administering this medication. Now, I don't know when this pain will end and I want my life back so badly. If anyone has had these results please email me. [email protected] I would love to talk. Lord knows I need some support right now. F 29 1 days

Been given this drug 5 times for migraines, side effects were the same but varied in severity F 22 1 days
