| 5 | Migraine | Omg...I was administered reglin through my IV while getting fluids. She only gave me a half dose and I flipped out. I immediately felt dread, aniexty, nervousness, hyper, frequent urinating, shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat....I thought I was dying. She didn't give me the rest. I had to walk in the hallway to calm down. This medicine should not be administered. | This medicine should not be administered. | F | 1 days | 4/30/2015 | 1 | gastro digestive issues | Extreme panic, thrashing, insomnia, facial twitching, depression, frequent urination, racing heart, sweats, hyperactive, suicidal thoughts, much more. | Got a stomach issue (virus of some kind) that caused my stomach to slow emptying. Doctor prescribed it saying it's the only thing that can help, so I took one before bed about 9pm. Let me stress it was just ONE PILL. It caused me a night from hell with no sleep till 6am. All night panic, stress, jumping, thrashing with suicidal thoughts. Never in my life would I have thought it would work it's "magic" that fast. I knew what I was getting into before taking it, and I was desprate. Told the doctor and he had me instantly stop it. A few days later (today) he suggested I take a HALF a dose 2x a day and try that. I just agreed I would, but i'm terrified and highly doubt I will. Taking half is like saying, "If you have a hard time fighting Mike Tyson, we'll tie one of his hands behind his back." You're still going to get your *** kicked either way. | M | 41 | 1 days | 4/22/2015 | 1 | Stomach issues | I can't believe what this medicine has done to me!!! My Gastrointestinal Dr. put me on it for a slow stomach and I trusted him and stayed on it for 5 months.!!!! Worst mistake I ever made. Started having small periods of depression,anxiety, and sleeplessness. Talked to PMC Doctor about it and he said quit taking it. I wish that would have put and end to these horrible side affects. And my doctor doesn't believe the Reglan/Metoclopramide caused them. I wound up going to the ER because the anxiety and panic attacks were so bad and was given .5mg clonazapam(30 of them) that I was supposed to take 2x per day and was told to see my Doctor in 3 to 4 days. Went and saw my PMC,told him what happened,and asked if he would give me a refill on the anti-anxiety meds. when I started to run out and he said no,take 1 a day, come back in 30 days and he would give me a prescription for xanex-.5mg that I could take 1 per day. I'm feeling very hopeless and afraid. I have seen a Clinical Psychologist onc | F | 63 | 5 months 5mg. 4X day | 4/17/2015 | 1 | Pre surgery | I was given Reglan prior to surgery. As the last poster mentioned I too had an episode that felt like a panic attack. It was the scariest feeling. Never again. | F | 40 | 1 days | 4/10/2015 | 1 | nausea | As soon as injected I began sitting up in the hospital bed pulling on my i.v. there was no relief. I felt anxious beyond anything I've experienced. I couldn't relax or even speak. Now I know what it feels like to have no control. I was in hell. The doctor gave me benadryl and adavan which gave me some relief. It has been 24 hours and I'm still a bit twitchy. | Please don't use even one time is too much. No matter how bad your nausea or pain, there must be something better. | F | 37 | 1 days 50 | 3/31/2015 | 1 | Migraine | Short term memory loss, tics/tremors, gait problems, speech, depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, concentration, processing and understanding what people have to say to me. | I was given this evil drug in the ER for a migraine. I think this drug should be taken off the market. If you want your like to be taken away then take this drug. I am 9 months post injection and still have not gotten better. The only thing that has improved is my speech. There are times when I am not able to pronounce a word and I freeze up. | F | 35 | 1 days 20 MG 1X day | 3/4/2015 | 1 | Mis diagnosis of gastric paresis | DO NOT take this medicine. It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE! It will take a normal person with no health issues to a panic suicidal depression and anxiety driven mental person! The review above is exactly what happend to my son. It's heartbreaking how much it will change a person for the worst. My son took it for one month and has never been the same. This medicine should be banned!! | M | 21 | 1 months 10mg | 2/25/2015 | 1 | Misdiagnosed atypical migraines | PLEASE read my review for Reglan on this site: http://www.inspire.com/groups/agmd-gi-motility/discussion/suffering-after-reglan/ Copy and paste this link. You need to read it! It is too long for this website. | I am writing this to help people. When I first received Reglan I read these reviews over and over again, crying in complete desperation for one with a positive ending. This is one of those, although the beginning is not pretty. I went to the ER for stroke-like symptoms on January 15th, 2015 including a small headache. Continue at link above! Be strong. | F | 23 | 1 days 1 dose | 2/18/2015 | 1 | Migraine Headache | Anxiety. twitchy, fear, dread, restlessness, uneasy, terrible | I have been given this in a "Migraine Cocktail" at my hospital before usually in an IV with Benadryl at the same time and I have felt these symptoms much milder. Although I was never quite sure which medication it was. Yesterday, I was in for something else and had to get everything orally and they had to send for the Reglan separately. It came about two hours later. I took it orally. About 30-45 minutes later I could feel the Anxiety. twitchy, fear, dread, restlessness, uneasy, terribleness like I had bugs crawling around inside me. I have had that once before with Compazine and I have never taken that again. I will never take this Drug again and will make sure it is noted in my chart that I have adverse reactions to it. I will never recommend this and if I can find another place to lodge a complaint I will. | F | 41 | 1 days 10 MG 1X day | 2/13/2015 | 1 | migrane | Extreme anxiety teeth chatteting whole body shaking | F | 38 | 1 days 10 mg | 2/5/2015 | 1 | Headaches | It felt like I was going to die ! Anxiety, Depression,Dizziness,It felt as if I had bugs crawling all over me. WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. | As soon as they gave it in my IV the side affects started. It has been over 2 months and I still am not right, Now I have joint pain all over my body and Anxiety and depression. THIS DRUG RUINED MY LIFE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED ON ANYONE !!! | F | 40 | 1X day | 1/12/2015 | 1 | morning sickness/nausea | Panic, Irrational Fear, extreme anxiety, depression, fatigue, tremors | A min or so after the drug was inserted into my IV at the ER I panicked and started feeling trapped and very fearful. I started yelling for a nurse, I didn't want to be alone, I didn't want to be anywhere. It was only that day and almost a month later I feel anxiety that can only be described as the feeling I had that terrible day. I am now 16 weeks pregnant and I fear it may have had an effect on my baby. Do not take this if pregnant... Dumb doctors don't know what they prescribe. I mean really..what is this stuff!? | F | 24 | 1 days unknown | 1/11/2015 | 1 | nausa | Made me feel jumpy& out of my mind! don't take this drug! it was introduced to me thru IV in emergency room. Nurse gave it to me & left room. 2 min. later i didn't like effects& i was still sick too. | F | 56 | 1 days | 12/15/2014 | 1 | Lactation | WORST.DRUG.EVER! I had restlessness, insomnia, blurred vision, drowsiness, exhaustion, cottonmouth, headache, pain in my jaw, trouble sleeping, and increase in sweating. | F | 30 | 2 days | 11/23/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Agitation, dread, fear, horrible panic ... I wanted to rip out IV and leave urgent care right away. I didn't even care if my headache wasn't gone. I was given benadryl which immediately took the edge off but I felt uncomfortable and anxious for the next 24 hours. I never want to feel like that again. It was horrible!. I will definitely add it to my list of drug allergies. | F | 40 | 1 days IV 1X day | 10/22/2014 | 1 | Sleeve surgery | hallucinations, anxiety and insomnia. I was perfect sleeper before I started taking this and now well I hope to go back to my sleep pattern! | F | 27 | 2 weeks 10 | 9/29/2014 | 1 | migraines | Shakey, jumpy, nervous, jittery, scared | F | 17 | 2 times | 9/26/2014 | 1 | Nausea | Anxiety, depression, jitters, diarrhea, drowsiness, lack of concentration, fatigue. | I was given this drug after a stomach bug where I continued to experience nausea. The doctor did not tell me of any side effects, yet at my age I am at higher risk of experiencing them. My grades slipped at uni and I stopped taking it after 6 tablets, I saw another doctor who thought the idea to prescribe this to me was wrong, but it was too late then. It took about a week for the anxiety and other side effects to disappear, I wish I never took it. I'm just so glad I'm feeling better, I've never experienced anxiety like this in my life it was the scariest time of my life. Would not recommend unless absolutely necessary. I know side effects only affect some people, but these side effects made me feel like I was going insane, only 1 week later do I feel happy, and back to myself. Never again!!! | M | 18 | 10 1X day | 9/13/2014 | 1 | Gastroparesis | For several months I've had a ache in my chest, gurgles in my throat and a slight sick feeling when eating. The doctor's diagnosis of a gastric motility problem made sense. He prescribed Metoclopramide (aka Reglan). I was feeling a bit depressed prior to taking them. After the first two pills (the first day) I was feeling a bit delirious. By the evening I was wishing I could just quietly die. After day two (another 2 pills) I was suffering severe mental anguish and feeling very tearful; I couldn't face going to work. I don't take any medicine normally, even painkillers, don't smoke or use recreational drugs. I drank a small amount of wine (100-200ml) both days, 4 or 5 hours after taking the pills (which I read may amplify side effects, so may be a bad plan). I didn't feel any benefits at all (interestingly, I got hiccoughs for ten minutes at lunch during day 2 - I used to get hiccoughs whenever I ate a big meal when this whole problem started), but I probably didn't give the pills a long enough time to work, though they seem to have worked on my brain! 3 days after stopping I'm back to the mild depression I had before taking the pills. And there's MAYBE a slight reduction in gatroparesis after I've stopped too? | M | 43 | 2 days 10 2X day | 9/11/2014 Patient History | 1 | increase milk supply | restlessness, crushing sadness, extreme crying spells, very sad thoughts | Was prescribed this med in the hospital after giving birth. Was told it was Motilium (maybe it was) but at any rate the prescription I was sent home with wasn't Motilium but Metoclopramide. Both increase milk production, etc. Shortly after returning home a midwife friend of mine told me not to take it because it was an antipsychotic and to try some natural things instead, etc so I did but still took some off and on (mostly because I'm terrible at remembering to take pills) for next month or so. |I had pretty bad baby blues for about a month and now wonder if it wasn't somehow related to taking this stupid drug. Long story short I recently started taking it again but more consistently for like 10 days or so to see if I can boost my supply and keep going with some breast feeding. About 5 days into it I started having intense feelings of sadness that kind of washed over me, would come in waves and very sad thoughts of how time is moving too fast etc. Fearing my baby growing up too fast, Sadness over not being with her etc. Just irrational sadness and nothing I did seemed to be able to lift me out of it.I will be doing something very benign and all of a sudden there it is, intense sadness and crying spells. Also feelings of not being able to sit still and just over all feelings of "not being right." has anyone healed themselves naturally from this pill and how long about did it take to feel normal if your story is similar to mine. Nice to know i'm not alone | F | 37 | 10 days 10mg 3X day | 8/23/2014 |
