| 1 | Infant reflux | Severe Dystonic reaction. My 4mo old daughter's eyes rolled to back of head and stayed there.Arms very stiff and continuously shaking for hours. Screaming unconsolably.Did not stop until meds wore off. | This medication worked very well for the reflux.side effects just not worth it. VERY SCARY. Called Dr. No one informed me benedryl stops this reaction!!Do not give to infants! | F | 4 | 5 days | 3/9/2006 | 3 | Weak LES Muscle, GERD, Nausea | Very dry mouth and lips; Constipation; Occasional severe chills; Lactation; Increased Fibromyalgia pain; Stinging sensation in hands and feet; extreme bloat after eating, no matter the size of the meal. | On one hand, I am relieved to not be throwing up bile every day and my stomach pain is better. Reglan has helped ease those symptoms. However, it has scary side effects and the manuf advises not to take it for long periods of time. I think it has a definite impact on the pain I experience with Fibromyalgia. Some days, it's hell. Not sure if it is worth it yet. I win and I lose, if you know what I mean. Be mindful of your side effects and communicate with your doctor. Be your own advocate! | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 3/6/2006 | 1 | Nausea | Higher blood pressure, racing heart, bad fatigue and severe depression. | I couldn't stop crying and felt terribly afraid. I wasn't warned this was a common side effect and thought I was going crazy, which was the scariest part of the whole thing. Its hard to believe a drug can do that until it happens to you. VERY scary drug! | F | 25 | 4 weeks | 2/25/2006 | 1 | gastroparesis | VERY jittery - needed to keep moving to allay the sense of being out of control - after only 3 dosages taken as prescribed. Very frightening experience esp for someone who has some difficulty w/anxiety to begin with. Took a few days to calm down and sleep well. On the positive side, after the first couple of days - I had more energy than usual until effect wore off totally (about 5 dys later) however, it wasn't worth it! | F | 56 | 1 days | 2/17/2006 | 1 | nausea | THREW UP FOR 18 HOURS. REGLAN RESPONSIBLE FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. Can cause irregular heart rate arrhytmia. Check out www.drugs.com I had to be cardio-convert [shocked] to get my heart back to normal pulse. Avoid this drug! | F | 52 | 1 days | 2/15/2006 | 1 | severe vomiting | Extreme anxiety, weeks of insomnia, restlessness, depression, inability to focus, Need psychiatric intervention after hospital IV and one pill, still lasting after 6 weeks | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG IF UNDER 30. Does anyone know of doctors in NYC who understand the perils of this drug? Does anyone know a lawyer for product liability claims? How about mental health Symptoms? Do they ever subside? | F | 25 | 1 days | 2/11/2006 | 1 | Infant Reflux | My 3 month old was prescribed this for his reflux and we never got a chance to see if it helped him because the first night he took it, I had to rush him to the emergency room. We thought he was dying. He screamed for hours and nothing would soothe him. He was making weird movements. | DO NOT GIVE THIS MEDICATION TO YOUR INFANT!!!!!! | M | 0.25 | 1 days | 1/26/2006 | 4 | nausea caused by IBS | some sleeplessness when taken at night, very slight "jittery" feeling | Definitely helps me with nausea. Not a wonder drug but does work. I take it on an as-needed basis, so 25x10mg tabs will last me a few months. | F | 29 | 18 months | 12/27/2005 | 1 | gastroparesis | complete mental breakdown from nervousness and depression-had to be hospitalized-never have experienced anything like that in my life-was put on zoloft 6 mths to get brain chemistry corrected-reglan does cross blood brain barrier-now use propulsid for past 6 years-excellent results no side effects-very difficult to get propulsid-must be enrolled in study-paperwork discourages doctors frm using this drug any more-can get frm intenet overseas-other countries still sell this drug | lots of research on my part found that this drug causes anxiety and depression in a large percentage of users-doctors much preffered propulsid until jet set lawyers did there class action things against Janseen Pharma-people with Long QT cannot take propulsid | M | 53 | 4 months | 12/7/2005 | 3 | hyperemesis | Severe restlessness; depression; constipation | Helped very much with the stomach acid but the depression and restlessness were so severe I hade to stop taking it. | F | 29 | 2 weeks | 12/2/2005 | 2 | I puking all over my lap. | I can't stop vomiting. Oh it's soooo bad. Somehow I'm managing to type this. Blalallarhrhrrhha. I think I just crapped my pants. Does that count as a side effect? Blahdhhahhhhegghghg. | I feel stoned. | F | 4 | 40 years | 11/13/2005 | 1 | Migraine/dizziness | Severe anxiety, parkinson like syndrome, depression and mental dullness. Absolutely a horrific experience!! | I went into the ER for head pressure and dizziness. The Dr. prescribed Reglan/Benadryl in an IV for me. Not only did it not work - but within 48 hours of leaving the ER - I was suffering from severe anxiety (I have never had a problem with anxiety in my life). Then I started having muscle tremors with my legs, feet, arms and neck. Additionally, my ability to walk and talk was greatly diminished. After several more days the anxiety disappeared and was replaced with mental dullness. It has been 2 months since I had Reglan and I have improved a lot - although I am still not at 100%. I would caution anyone who has been prescribed this product to seriously consider these life altering side effects and from what I now understand - they can sometimes be irreversible. | F | 37 | 1 days | 8/31/2005 | 1 | Apendix was taken out | Back spasums so bad that when I was standing my hands literally touched the floor behind me. It arched so bad that all I could do is cry. I was told if I was given it another time it would kill me. | F | 22 | 2 days | 8/24/2005 | 1 | Infant GER | started to show signs of tardive dyskinesia ( grimacing, wierd tongue movements, annd puckering of the mouth) | This particular medication did not seem to have any affect in stopping our infants spiiting up after feeding, and with the significant danger of long term side effects we felt that we just didn't want to risk it. Aiden is 6 weeks old. | M | 0.05 | 10 days | 7/7/2005 | 4 | heartburn | Extremely bothersome dry mouth | I found that it was effective. It was prescribed to help proper stomach emptying. | M | 50 | 6 days | 6/14/2005 | 5 | migraine | slight drowsiness | For the last 5-6 migraines, I have taken Reglan along with Zomig. I have only had to take one dose of Zomig instead of the 2 or 3 doses I would take without Reglan. | F | 56 | 2 months | 6/2/2005 | 1 | low intestinal motility | NEGATVE: Extreme sleepiness (along with weakness of major muscles). Extreme fatigue after moderate exertion. POSITIVE: counteracted dry mouth caused by daily doses of Ditropan LA. | M | 82 | 14 days | 5/25/2005 | 2 | infant taking for reflux | I thought this helped my daughter for about a month and then she seemed even worse. At 9 months, while on Reglan, she was still spitting up profusely at every meal and even 4 hours later. Once I found out about the side effects, I took her off and requested an alternative. | F | 24 | 6 days | 4/14/2005 | 3 | nausea/delayed stomach emptying | constipation, headache, made me tired if I took 10 mgs, so I break them in half. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 3/31/2005 | 1 | GERD | 2 weeks into therapy experienced irregular heartbeats for extended periods..two to three hours at a time..very unnerving and scary..d/c'd the medication and symptoms disapeared. | F | 64 | 21 days | 3/30/2005 |
