| 1 | Given for migraine in ER | I was given Reglan once with benadryl in the ER for a terrible migraine. Within seconds, the worst feeling of panic/dread and most severe anxiety came over me, my heart beat so fast that it hurt.I wanted to kill myself. I thought I was going to lose my mind, it was like something totally hijacked my normal, rational thoughts and there was nothing but feelings of terror, total panic and a desperate need to get the hell away from the hospital. My husband had to stop me from ripping the IV out of my arm so I could leave. I begged him to get me out of there and thankfully he did. It's been a week and I am still having residual panic attacks from the one-time dose. This drug should be banned! | F | 40 | 1 days | 10/23/2013 | 1 | acid reflux | shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, palpitations, parestesias, diarrhea, trouble thinking, nervous, numb in feet, stomach, arms, hands, feeling of going crazy, panic attacks, agoraphobia, suicidal thoughts | In 2007 I started having panic attacks after 1 week of reglan, i was 15 years, a month after my dr. prescribe me zoloft, trileptal and clonazepam, I completely recover in 3 or 4 years and stopped the meds, I was normal again and happy... In October 2012 I had GI problems and I was at hospital and they gave me reglan and my panic attacks came back!! I don't want to take drugs again, I want to be normal again, do I go back to normality again? My life is a hell cause the panic attacks gave me agoraphobia... I hate the person I am bc reglan :( email me: [email protected] | F | 21 | 1 days 10 10X day | 10/8/2013 | 4 | For digestive/gas issues | It helped me with side effects from the gas they put in me when I had a full hysterectomy in April. Now I only take it when I'm afraid something is going to upset my stomach or I have gas so bad I feel like I'm having a heart attack! Had an endoscopy the other day, found out I have ulcers but haven't talked to the Dr. about the biopsies yet. I'm sorry but this dose of Reglan has been the ONLY thing that has helped so far with the issues I've been having for a long time. | F | 54 | 5 months 10 mg | 9/1/2013 | 1 | gastroparesis | Complete loss of control of emotions. Anxiety and panic attacks. Shaking/ tremors. Was given this in ER I've and a prescription. After what happened in er will never take again. Felt like I was dieing. | F | 36 | 1 days iv | 8/9/2013 | 1 | nausea and vomiting | My eyes kept looking up even when I closed my eyes. I tried to sit still but my body kept moving on its own. kept smacking my face and smacking my feet together. My boyfriend would try talking to me calmly and I would yell at him. Wanted to desperately take the IV out of my arm and wanted go home. I am not normally an anxious or violent person, but I felt like I had no control over my actions. I was pacing back and forth and talking like a madman when I got out of the hospital bed. This continued for hours. DO NOT TAKE REGLAN. IT'S HELL. Not even once. If they tell you they are going to administer metoclopramide into your iv or give you it in pill form, say NO. it is reglan, the other name for reglan. my boyfriend knew what reglan does because it happened to him, so he lists it on his allergy list. if we knew that they were the same drug it would have never went in me because we would have refused it. | took in ER one time through IV for nausea/ vomiting | F | 19 | 10 1X day | 7/27/2013 | 1 | Severe migraine | Soon after getting an IV of reglan, , I became restless. EVERYTHING I did or even though about doing made me want to die, literally. I couldn't stop moving and feeling like something was terribly wrong. My boyfriend left the room to grab my charger and all I could think about doing was ripping the IV out of my arm and running as fast as I could. But I felt so f*ed up I could barley even thing about moving. I finally fell asleep, ( I was given Benedryl and toradol also) about 20 minutes later. I woke up feeling better (no weird feelings, I didn't want to run away, or anything I felt before) but I felt oddly chipper. Fell asleep after I got home and I feel like I can still feel the IV and meds being pumped into my hand and arm where I had the IV. The feeling reglan gave me was the worse I've probably ever felt. I can't imagine going through it all agian. | F | 22 | 1 days 30 mg | 7/7/2013 | 5 | TEMPORARY relief from drug overdose | after being hospitalized for drug overdose and dehydration, this was given to me for nauseau and it was wonderful, worked great and allowed me to sleep. The negative reviews on reglan, are for people who take it regularly, which is not recommended. But for occasional relief from temporary sickness, this was a great pain reliever, sleep inducer. | M | 41 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 7/2/2013 | 3 | gastroparesis | much anxiety | i was diagnosised with gastroparesis many years ago and have been put on both of the medicines that are currently on the market for this problem... reglan helped to an extent but as a patient who already has essential tremor the side effects of possibly getting parkinson's disease are tremendously scary.. my GI doctor is fantastic and he is aware of my concerns which is why i only take this drug PRN now but my gastroparesis affects too many aspects of my life and i just wish they would come out with a better drug | F | 22 | 30 mg 1X AN | 7/2/2013 | 1 | Gastroparesis | Left Temporal Lobe Seizure, twitching, anxiety, Very high BPand heart rate, tics | I should have taken Cyanide instead of Reglan. 2nd time in writing this. It was on a post in Jan 2008 and I still can't believe this POISON is still being giving to innocent patients! Filed a complaint with the DEA because 2 other people besides myself in the same county had similar effects the same month? High BP 180/115, heart rate 160, then everything went black. Told I had a seizure. Took 3 months to get this crap out of my system. Had body tics for a week after? | F | 60 | 1 weeks 5mg 2X day | 7/2/2013 | 1 | Milk production | Depression, Anxiety, loss of desire to live, inability to take care of my child. I have been off for 4 days now, fortunately have not experienced the withdrawal symptoms other than intensified depression and anxiety. I am starting Zoloft, hopefully that will get me through until the symptoms wear off. | F | 27 | 3 months | 6/6/2013 | 1 | Nausea | Extreme restlessness, wanted to run of the hospital. | I was in hospital during lung surgery, and had severe nausea and vomitting, they gave me this drug through iv, and it was just terrible, I have never had such a terrible feeling before, I felt so restless, like I just wanted to jump of a cliff. Truly horrible times, and to this day I have slight feelings of restlessness, which I never had before. | F | 15 | 30 2X day | 5/20/2013 | 1 | Nausea | Long term anxiety and feelings of derealization. etc. | Anyone experiencing long term mental and emotional side effects please look to the therapy in the link below. Detoxing is also very helpful to get this drug out of your system completely. Your HPA axis has been set off by this chemical trauma, Reglan crosses your blood-brain barrier. Also supplement with a B complex to get your proper levels of B5 and B6 to help the feelings of akathisia some get. Good luck to all. This is an evil drug. But I am making progress due to a very understanding Holistic doctor who understands what has happened. You will get better. http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1865493#i | M | 1 days IV 1X day | 5/10/2013 | 1 | recovering from surgery | tremors/shaking in my arms/legs, heart pounding, depression/suicidal thoughts, hallucinations/anxiety/jittery feeling/trouble staying still, feeling short of breath, insomnia yet tired, nausea/vomitting | This drug is straight from the pit of hell. STAY AWAY! They were giving it to me through my IV after surgery, so I have no idea how much or how often or for how long. All of my symptoms occurred in the first 2 days. | F | 32 | 2 days unknown 1X day | 5/7/2013 | 1 | My husband | My Husband of 17 years change completely when he took this drug all the posts of the suicide depression hear really disturbs me. A suit was filed over 2 years ago for my husbands suicide while taking the medication. I recently been told by the lawyers that they want to dismiss the case. They say its a viable case with just cause but to expensive to take to trial. I do not know how this will turn out and he is not hear to defend himself but no matter what happens my story will be told. Anyone wants to chat I would appreciate an email to hear you personal stories. | This drug needs to be off the market and people need to act against the big pharma putting profits before peoples lives. They knew this all along. | M | 46 | 4.5 months 10 4X day | 5/3/2013 | 2 | Gastroparesis | Burning/stabbing joint pain, restless legs during day that transitioned to all-out thrashing at night, electrical "buzzing" feeling up and down legs/arms/back of head, itchy feet, anxiety, severe insomnia, total loss of motivation to be productive, complete loss of sex drive | Does this medication stimulate my stomach to overcome its paralysis and force food through into my intestinal tract? Yes. Am I going to approach my doctors tomorrow and tell them to install a feeding tube because I refuse to take Reglan anymore due to the horrific side effects (and due to Domperidone not working for me)? Yup. I've had a lot of serious health problems, but nothing has been as difficult to deal with emotionally and psychologically like the side effects from Reglan. I'd rather go through cancer treatment again a thousand times over than EVER use this drug again. My advice: if you take it once and immediately feel like you're going to jump out of your skin (or at least can run laps despite being ill), tell your doctors immediately, drink as much water as possible for the following week to flush it out of your system, and list it as a severe drug allergy with all of your medical providers. At this point I'm just hoping the damage isn't permanent. | F | 30 | 20 days 10 2X day | 4/29/2013 | 1 | To Increase Breast milk supply | Severe Depression, Suicidal, Forgetful, Loss of Sex Drive, Weight Gain, High Blood Sugar (Type 1 Diabetic), Rapid Heart Beat, Dry Mouth, Very Easily Agitated, Mood Swings, Tired yet Can't Sleep | I did Not experience these side effects before this medication. Some symptoms happened rapidly while others crept up and increased. I would NEVER recommend this medication. Sadly, I could not produce breast milk without it so that is why I didn't quit | F | 32 | 10 months 10 MG 1X day | 4/14/2013 | 1 | digestive disorder | Suicidal thoughts, akathesia, severe depression, severe anxiety, agorophobia, irritability, memory loss, zero appetite for 3 weeks | This medicine was prescribed to me almost 2 years ago. I have been through hell as everyone else describes, including a trip to the pshyc ward. I have made marked improvement but am forever changed. Before I took this drug, my life was amazing, now i struggle to drag myself out of the house. I have tried benzos, anti depressants, supplements and anyhting else that might have worked, and now I have to go through withdrawal from benzos that I had to take for over a year to be able to function. If you have recently been affected by this terrible nightmare of a drug, please try to take as little medicine as possible to get through it as I ahve learned that the meds that are meant to counteract this will put you through hell when you have to come off of them also. This drug should be illegal and its a shame that there is little that can be done to get it off the shelves. God bless all that are suffering | M | 30 | 45 days 10 mg 4X day | 3/28/2013 | 1 | Gastroperesis | Total mental breakdown, hallucinating. Could have locked me up in the psych ward | Never take this drug!! | F | 36 | 2 weeks 10 3X day | 3/27/2013 | 1 | GERD/Esophagus disorder | Loss of motivation, depression, anxiety. Loss of of creativity--I'm a musician/entertainer. | I was on on Reglan for a year or so. It was several years ago. I don't remember. I had been listless, without inspiration, anxious, feeling desperate. Difficult to function. I never dawned on me that it was the reglan. My GP, GI, Docs --even a couple of shrinks denied it was the reglan. I went through several antidepressants, benzos, alcohol (bad choice, I know). 3 (?) years later I struggle with alcohol and benzo dependence. I want to be my old creative, motivated self, can't afford rehab. this crap turned mt life upside down and the docs all denied it. | M | 62 | 2 years 20 1X day | 3/19/2013 | 3 | morning sickness | Horrible anxiety and diarrhea, lost weight, which I couln't afford to lose. Side effects went away about a month after stopping. Had to be on lexapro for another 6 months to feel normal again. Worked great for the constant nausea, but the side effects were not worth it. | F | 28 | 6 months 10 mg | 3/8/2013 |
