| 1 | Increase Milk Supply | Utterly crippling depression. Bouts of anxiety at times. I didn't want my child. I wanted to take her back to the hospital. I thought I ruined my life. I COMPLETELY unable to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I was lost in grief for my "old life". I resented my child. | I struggled with low supply. Lactation consultant suggested I take Reglan. my OB wrote Rx for it. LC told me that depression was reported as a small side effect but if I had no history of depression (which I didn't) I shouldn't be worried. WOW. I took this pill for 30 days. 1 pill every 6 hours. I kept a daily diary at the time and you can see how my mood got lower and lower and lower. As if it wasn't bad enough to struggle as a new mom, have trouble breastfeeding, and THEN get dumped into a huge depression? I ran out of pills after my 30 day supply and by that time had decided to quit breastfeeding. I didn't wean off (wasn't told to). Well, 2 days after stopping I hit a brick wall. I couldn't stop crying all day. Could barely take care of my baby. UGH. Went to my OB. She said she doubtd it was the Reglan b/c she prescribes it a lot. Hmph. I was put on a low dose of Zoloft bc she figured it was PPD (which it might have been combined with the extra boost of depression from Reglan). Glad to say 7 months later I LOVE MY BABY and I LOVE my life. Zoloft was great, it worked like a miracle. I'm starting the weaning process of Zoloft now. I hope it goes well. Reglan is POISON. New motherhood is hard enough. Do NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF! Just go to formula. It is better for you and your baby if you are happy and healthy!!! | F | 31 | 30 days 10mg 4X day | 8/22/2014 | 1 | Increase milk supply | Severe anxiety, insonmia, constant fear, loss of appetite. Drug should be banned!! I've been off 2 weeks after taking for 30 days and still have these symptoms. I just got buspar anti anxiety pill to help. | F | 37 | 10 days | 8/7/2014 | 5 | delayed stomach emptying | Greatly helped with stomach issues. Only side effect was generalized lethargy. I just napped a lot. | F | 41 | 7 days 3 x per da | 7/31/2014 | 1 | migranes | This drug is so bad. I got a dystonic reaction going on month two with severe insomnia and tremors. I ended in a psych ward and now I'm hoping the new meds will help stabilize me. I have two beautiful kids and I can't even care for them from lack of sleep and mobility. The guy who gave me reglan was a med student!!! It brought my bipolar disorder out if only I could change from going to the er that day for headaches !!!this is hard on everyone I need my body back and sane mind!!! | F | 26 | 2 days 10 mg | 7/26/2014 | 1 | migraine | I went into psychosis, had depersonalization/derealization, suicidal and major depression, could not sleep whatsoever, entire body was writhing in pain, GERD and stomach aches, constant headache, forgetfulness, severe tremors, impulse to constantly walk and move, extreme exhaustion, anxiety attacks, agitation that leads to psychotic episodes, numbness, loss of appetite. | I got reglan through an IV. This will probably go down as the worst experience in my entire life. It's been 21 days since, and I still struggle every single day. And of course, the doctors at the hospital were too careless to warn me about the possible side effects. Being a person that is very sensitive to any medication, only from this one time, was I thrown into Reglan hell. I think it is a toxic medication that should be put to rest, once and for all, considering the side effects completely outweigh the intended 'positive' effects. It has ruined my entire summer, and sometimes I fear it will ruin my entire life, considering healing from the trauma has been a very slow and draining process. I still have a majority of the side effects. NEVER take this drug. I would rather suffer through what I'm taking it for, than taking Reglan. I was a completely normal/happy person before this, and I wish I never took this drug. | F | 20 | 1 days 1X day | 7/21/2014 | 1 | Slow Motility | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!! Reglan or Metoclopramide was originally utilized as an ANTIPSYCHOTIC and when the medical community realized its side effect profile i.e. ability to speed motility, it was quickly marketed/patented as a GERD med or tool for those suffering from gastroparesis--which is why my wife took it. This drug was tested on rats years ago, and the side effects these animals endured are equally horrifying when you read the literature. After 6 months she withdrew from the medication and suffered horrifying side effects including depression, anxiety, psychosis induced by insomnia, loss of memory, and too many other cognitive detriments to list. It took her several months to recover and this was only after a visit to a psychiatric unit!!! My wife is a brilliant professional, and is still suffering the effects of this horrible drug. I beg of you DO NOT TAKE THIS FOR ANY REASON....the risks DO NOT outweigh the benefit. Trust your instincts and avoid this med because | M | 48 | 6 months 10mg 2X day | 7/18/2014 | 1 | To increase milk supply | I had horrible anxiety with lots of gastrointestinal side effects. Was having diarrhea several times a day. I was also nauseous a lot. I look back on that period of my life and am so sad. My anxiety was so horrible, I couldn't enjoy my baby. My OB never told me about any side effects, so I took this med for a year and never connected my symptoms with the med. I went to a gastroenterologist and he finally told me this was the Reglan causing all of this! | F | 28 | 1 years | 7/3/2014 | 1 | stomach issues | Horrible side effects! My mother has been on this for several months and is currently sitting on the psychiatric unit! Extreme anxiety! Figity ! Nervousness! Depression! Suicidal thoughts! | Do not take this drug it has my mother a mess!!! | F | 66 | 5mg 3X day | 6/30/2014 | 1 | Migraine | I was given a one time dose for migraine and experienced many lasting symptoms of anxiety and depression. I am trying to figure out if these symptoms resolve over time or if they are permanent. I am trying to figure out if these symptoms are treatable with other meds or best left alone to heal on their own. Please contact me if you have information. I'm suffering. | F | 35 | 1 days | 6/12/2014 | 1 | had gastro,bypass serious nausa | sweats,anxiety,could not pass anything pass my mouth down my throat,these symptoms on the 5th degree, how do i come wean off?never want to go through this again,HELP | F | 52 | 5 years 30mg | 6/4/2014 | 1 | Nausea | Scariest side effects ever!

I've never really read the side effects of medications before because I've never had any real issues with taking anything. I feel so naive now!!! I've NEVER had depression or anxiety before. The first thing I noticed was being so so tired but I brushed it off to being a working mother of three. Then came the random bouts of depression, it would last about 20 minutes or so then go away. Then last Monday happened. It was the worst day of my life. I couldn't stop crying, I wanted to quit my job, push a rock over my front door and never come out of my house again. This was NOT me, I knew something was wrong. The last few weeks I've been battling horrible thoughts and feelings that make me physically ill. My dear friend said she looked into taking Reglan for her milk supply but didn't because of the side effects. Thats when the lightbulb went off and I researched what I had been taking. I was dumbfounded by the results I found. I should have looked BEFORE I took this horrible drug. Now I'm trying to research how long it will take for me to get back to normal and praying that I will get there sooner than later. Can anyone tell me how long it took this drug to leave their system and for their well being to return to normal? | F | 29 | 6 weeks 1 3X day | 4/29/2014 | 1 | Anti-Nausea | Full on Panic Attack and shivers | I was given it pre-op to help with nausea after surgery and they gave it to me and walked away. I started freaking out like I was going to die in surgery, I thought I didn't want to be there and that the surgery wasn't worth it. Took 3 nurses, 2 warm blankets and an hour nap to get over the reaction. And in the end I still ended up getting sick after the surgery. | M | 18 | 1 days 1X O | 4/22/2014 | 1 | Morning sickness | Severe anxiety. I coundnt sit down or relax. My heart was racing felt like I could jump out of my skin! | I only took 1 tablet. I forced myself to exercise and by 4.00pm the following day 12 hours later the tablet was finally out of my system. | F | 27 | 1 days 3X day | 4/13/2014 | 1 | possible fainting/seizure&dizzines | Anxiety/panic attacks, stiffness on left side of my neck, fell like something stuck in my throat,cant sleep, don't go outside cause every thing I do it feel like danger or im gone die.I went to the ER for a possible fainting/seizure and dizziness which all happen the day before I went to the ER. on 2/23/14 they gave it to me thru a IV n soon as it reached my blood I felt the worst I called baby father( which was up stairs seeing a friend) and told him i wanted to go home cause i felt like they was trying to kill me i wanted the IV out plus the burning of the medicine goin thru my arm my baby father came to see what was going on they tried to explain saying they seen this before and they could of gave me to much and they tried giving me some else but I wouldn't let them just wanted to go home its 4/11/14 & im still having theses side effects can any one tell me I want to know do anyone get over theses side effects with out taking medicine im afraid to go to the hospital or take any medicine now after my experience.Don't know the dose they gave me but only took it once and this medicine need to be took off the market cause its dangerous and not healthy at all seems like they don't care for people or they health cause them making the problem worst I rather have a headache then go thru what im goin thru.Man I just want to go back to my normal life | F | 25 | 1 days | 4/11/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Very anxious, agitated, couldn't control my breathing, wanted to rip the IV out of my hand | F | 35 | 1 days | 3/13/2014 | 1 | Vomiting | Panic; crying. TERROR; wanting to leave! Red, flushed appearance, sweating. | I am writing this review for my 11 y.o. daughter. I had taken her to the E.R. for persistant vomiting. She had already been given 2 Zofran which did not work. I had asked the dr. not to give her compazine for the exact reasons listed above (I had those same reactions to compazine previously; and I DID NOT want her going through that). Little did I know that Reglan would have the same effect on her. Had I known, I would have said not to give her this crap as well. It stopped her vomiting, but I was so sad for how it made her feel. I had to hold her to keep her from jumping out of the hospital bed. She will never get this medicine again! | F | 11 | 1 days Not sure 1X day | 3/11/2014 | 1 | Nausea due to stomach flu | Terrible anxiety, racing heart, feelings of passing out, feeling like I was going to die and that I needed to escape and run from nothing. Hallucinations while standing, almost like a real day dream. Very bad headache/neck pain, dry mouth/tongue and very sore throat. Feels like the roof of my mouth was burned | I wouldn't recommend this medication to ANYBODY! | F | 22 | 1 days 10 4X day | 3/1/2014 |
