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  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

 1  Severe stomach pains, undiagnosed. I took Reglan for 6 months to 1 year. 17 years later, I still vomit / reflux my food that I rechew and swallow constantly-jokingly, I am like a cow that must rechew its food. It's so embarrassing. I eat slowly and have stomach emptying issues which are hard to define. When I first noticed the effects was after I stopped taking it fully, before while on it, I had sever acid reflux. After stopping reglan, I began projectile vomiting food or liquids. It was crazy. Just sitting, vomit. Walking, vomit. Movement, vomit (like a baby spits up). I still clench my teeth, bite my lips and grind my teeth. Now I understand the severe panic episodes while on Reglan were due to this drug. The depression, sadness, anxiety, weight gain, numbness in the pelvis and upper leg areas when taking or readjusting a year later is now evident of the side-effects I had no idea about. This drug has kept me from having a normal life. Please don't take this drug. F 41 12 months

 1  Gerd depression, anxiety, insomnia, suicidal thoughts, tardive dyskinesia I was prescribed Reglan while waiting for a new PPI drug to start working for acid reflux. About that time we had a traumatic family event and I became very depressed and attributed it to the stress and grief in my life. However it got worse and worse: depression, suicidal thinking, terrible sadness, insomnia, anxiety, panic and I clenched my teeth constantly (tardive dyskinesia). After 4 months of this it occurred to me that there was something else going on besides family issues and God gave me the insight research this drug which showed a long list of psychotic symptoms. I stopped it immediately and it took a couple of months to start feeling better and 2 full years to completely feel my old self. Even today years later I still clench my teeth when I am tense. My advise is to become fulling acquainted with a prescription's side effects so that you won't be caught unaware. 72 4 months

 1  Sent to ER - prescribed reglan Sent to ER after severe stomach pain and abnormal CT scan (intestinal abnormalities). Was prescribed reglan for two weeks after hospital visit. I took it for a week plus twice while I was still recovering the next month. When I took it the first week I had general uneasiness, and extreme anxiety. The last two times I took it I was verging on a panic attack, couldn't sit still, very agitated and anxious. It's now been 4 months since my last reglan, and I have random periods of extreme unease/anxiety/agitation (never experienced this before reglan), as well as minor depression. I am generally a very relaxed person and don't get easily anxious or flustered. Friends and family have noticed. NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG. F 25 7 days

 1  Nausea The Doctor prescribed that I take this due to not being able to hold down good or water. Within the two to three week period I began experiencing severe depression, throat tenderness, throat spasms, itching to the point I was bruised all over and extreme anxiety and even vertigo. I called the doctor and she said to stop taking it right away. It's been about two months now and I still have problems with my throat spasms and swallowing. Just want to know if this will ever let up. F 31 3 weeks
