| 1 | increase breast milk supply | restlessness, dry mouth, tongue and throat numb, difficulty speaking | I was taken to the ER because of the numbness in my mouth and difficulty breathing. The mental aspect of this drug caused my body to have a panic attack and hypervenilate. VERY SCARY!!! | F | 30 | 3 days | 8/31/2006 | 1 | prescribed during chemo | tremors, loss of appetite, depression, fatigue, confusion, dizziness, yellowed eyes and skin, slow movements, mask-like facial appearance. | My 83 year old father was prescribed Reglan two years ago when he underwent chemo/radiation for lung cancer. He has been seen regularly by his oncologist, neurologist, and internist. In February, 2006, he suffered a stroke. He recovered from the stroke symptoms, but has been going downhill fast. I was shocked to read where this drug should not be taken over 12 weeks. My poor father has been taking this drug daily for over 2 years! He has experienced all of the mentioned side effects, but none of our doctors suggested stopping it until yesterday, August 15, 2006! If he would have stayed on it, I truly believe he would have died. Please pay attention and ask questions. Doctors are not God, although some think they are. | M | 83 | | 8/16/2006 | 1 | gastric distress | severe bloating, severe farting, nose twitches, knocking knees,bad taste in mouth,all over feeling really bad | This drug gave me the vapors so bad,I was ask to take a leave from work. | F | 49 | 2 months | 8/14/2006 | 2 | nausea with migraine | restless legs, restless in general | worked for the nausea...just couldn't tolerate the side effects | F | 40 | 1 weeks | 7/17/2006 | 1 | acid reflux, nausea | severe depression, including crying spells, anxiety, jitters, decrease in vision, decrease in hearing, tremors of the hands | This medication should be taken off the market. Thank God a doctor recognized the symptoms and advised me to stop taking it immeditely. This stuff nearly did me in. | F | 76 | 6 weeks | 7/7/2006 | 1 | Colon resection | While taking- Jittery-needed to keep moving. Worst feeling of my life. Week after taking still Depressed and mentally dull. | Doctor did not tell me of side effects and nurses did not catch side effects while in hospital. Life changing drug. Hopefully I can get back to normal someday. | M | 39 | 4 days | 7/5/2006 | 1 | diabetic gastric stasis | The manufacturers of Reglan and its generic metoclopramide mention the link between the development of tardive dyskinesia and the drug on its labeling, however they suggest the incidence rarely occurs ... be aware that the FDA has approved Reglan for short-term use (4 to 12 weeks) only. | M | 29 | | 6/30/2006 | 5 | nausea with migraine | I haven't tried it yet....so I can't really say if I am satisfied with it. | F | 40 | | 6/29/2006 | 1 | Stroke, trouble swallowing,vomiting | Severe depression, severe leg pain, contraction of muscles, parkinson like tremors of legs and arms, vomiting. Most symtoms went away after 3 days off the drug. | Would not recommend this drug for anyone! Needs a black label warning for the elderly. | M | 68 | 3 weeks | 6/19/2006 | 1 | For GORD | tired, lost interest in everything, hard to concentrate, sleeping excessively | taking 10mg at night. Took several months before symptoms started and gradually got worse. When came off took a week before I felt back to normal | F | 47 | 6 months | 6/12/2006 | 1 | extreme GERD | Breast milk production - I've never been pregnant a day in my life EVER. My breasts were so full of milk all the time that they were in pain and I was having to wear breast pads because of the lactation. I also experienced the anxiety and jitters and severe depression. | I wouldn't recommend it - there are just too many side effects. i switched to Nexium and feel much better. | F | 30 | 3 months | 6/9/2006 | 1 | Vomiting and nausea | Depression, sadness, thoughts of suicide, personality change, weepiness, heaviness/twitchiness in arms and hands, jerky movements of hands, involuntary movements of hands, prickly feeling in hands, extreme drowsiness/sleepiness, fatigue, bizarre dreams, some anxiety | The dr who prescribed Reglan for me did not mention any of the side effects. I have recently been dealing with depression so this medicine affected me negatively in less than 24 hours. It DID help with the nausea/vomiting, but at what cost? I stopped taking Reglan after 3 doses. The side affects are so terrible that I will not be taking it again. | F | 39 | 2 days | 6/5/2006 | 1 | migraine | akathesia-felt like i was going to jump out of my skin. my heart raced and i kept wanting to rip at my skin! It was the worst feeling in the world. Felt like I was going psychotic. | "they" say this is rare but I have heard far to many of the same stories. Be careful-if you feel like this after taking reglan, ask for benedryl IMMEDIATELY!!! | F | 25 | 6 times | 6/2/2006 | 1 | Idiopathic gastroparesis | After being on Reglan for 3 years, I experienced severe (suicidal) depression, bloating, edema, weight gain, prolactinemia (extremely high prolactin blood levels which caused my dr. to tell me I had a brain tumor & caused my ovaries to shut down, throwing me into premature menopause at the age of 34!! | After going off Reglan, my prolactin levels went back to normal, but my reproductive system was shot! Started on Propulsid - which works like a charm! When it was pulled from the market, I got into a study for 6 months (lots of EKGs!) Now I get the drug from the internet (Mexico, etc.) this is a little scary, but at least I can eat and poop!!(Without constant nausea & stomach pain!) Currently investigating accupuncture & colon hydrotherapy to get off all meds! | F | 45 | 3 years | 5/26/2006 | 1 | stomach motility problem | parkinsonian symptoms came on suddenly after three years of use. Some still present after three months of not using the drug. Suspect hand tremor may be permenant. | Recommend that it be used for only 4 -12 weeks, which is FDA standard. | M | 68 | 3 years | 5/26/2006 | 1 | stomach motility problem | parkinsonian symptoms came on suddenly after three years of use. Some still present after three months of not using the drug. Suspect hand tremor may be permenant. | Recommend that it be used for only 4 -12 weeks, which is FDA standard. | M | 68 | 3 years | 5/26/2006 | 1 | Digestive problems | Severe depression, suicidal thoughts,tremors,severe myoclonus,anxiety,severe muscle fasciculations,Parkinson symptoms,Restless legs with periodic limb movements, mental dullness short term memory loss. This literaly almost killed me | These side effects have lasted over 2 years. Went to MAYO to see what was wrong. They said "most likley" caused by Reglan. They had to research and found "reports" of these side effects lasting up to two years. One problem is Docs don't want to blame another Doc. However I was advised by MAYO to never take this again. | M | 52 | 2 weeks | 5/17/2006 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Face became numb and within hours paralysed in a grimmace, within 3 hours labored breathing was already on way to emergency. Felt like having a stroke or something. | Benadryl counteracts symptoms | F | 22 | 1 days | 4/12/2006 | 1 | gastroparesis | Severe depression suddenly out of the blue. Very suidical,tired yet too jittery and shaky to sleep. Parkinson like symptoms even 3 days after I stopped taking this drug. | Likely one of the worst drugs I ever tried and according to GP newsletter no one can tolerate it for long either. I would say it alot more dangerous then domperdone which FDA refuses to approve yet here for GP suffers. | M | 33 | 5 days | 4/2/2006 | 2 | severe gastroparesis | I am generally a happy person but this drug caused severe DEPRESSION. Nothing made me happy even though intelectually I knew I should be happy I was not. Also it caused me to be apathetic. | This drug did help with my gastric motility. I did not experience the nausea and vomiting with it. After 3 weeks I quit the reglan (because of depression) and the nausea and vomiting returned. My Doctor encouraged me to try reglan again and the depression came back and hit hard. Reglan is a dopamine inhibitor and crosses the blood brain barrier. The depression is just not worth it. | F | 43 | 3 weeks | 3/24/2006 |
