| 1 | Tension Headache & Neck Issue | on 09/07/2013 I had gone to ER for Tension headache & a Real bad neck issue & they said before I go into the CT scan to take this weird long name started with a M (Metoclopramide) which was generic form of the REGLAN they said (I am no doctor and the Cute Nurse said it will help a lot) So they gave it to me threw an IV they set up for the CT injections Dye, and 10 mins later I had no control over my whole body. felt like I wanted out of my own body & I immediately hit the nurse call button and at this time flopping around in bed & continued to do so for 20 or so minuets ( I wanted to run out and yell at the top of my lungs So bad at this point but I was in a professional setting) the nurse saw me like this finally, the benadryl calmed me down some for me to go to get a CT scan 2 hour later so when they injected the Dye I lost consciousness, woke up & I was done but the scan did not go threw right & had to do it again, same thing, the dye then lost consciousne | To anyone who has taken this or reading this tell everyone you know or send a text message to your phone book list and Facebook to not take this or any other form of this Black listed Drug!!! | M | 28 | 1 days 1 IV shot 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 1 | seasickness | suicidal thoughts, loss of appetite, problems swallowing, tongue sticking out, facial grimacing, terrible twitching all over the body: legs, face, neck, trunk, fingers, lips would pucker/smack, heart palpitations, feelings of a seizure about to happen, near-panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, sweating, stiff and painful neck, eyes unable to focus, severe depression and anxiety, shaking like Parkinson's Disease, horrible bizarre dreams, visual hallucinations, terrible mental dullness, lethargy, mind is numb and fuzzy, strong feelings of sleepiness, hopelessness, fearful all the time. Instead of Reglan for seasickness, I would recommend just eating a green apple or some ginger before you get on a ship. This helps and there aren't any long lasting side effects. | I took a total of 40 mg of Reglan. This past year was very challenging for me. I spent the first 4-5 months of recovery talking myself out of a suicidal depression and anxiety attacks/fear. The one thing that kept me fighting was my sense of perseverance and hope...that one day things would get better, and they did. Although it's been about a year since I took Reglan, I still have some side effects, but 98% of them are gone. The mental dullness lingers, but I barely twitch. When I twitch, it's very, very small. All of the other side effects are gone. I'm sure to say that by this summer, things will have healed completely. I measured my recovery not in hours or days, but in weeks and months. I've been to several neurologists and one of them suggested that there might be a genetic predisposition/intolerance to metoclopramide, the chemical that's in Reglan. This would explain my temporary condition. When you hurt the brain, it takes a long time to heal because of the blood-brain barrier. I'm posting this to help people. The doctors wanted me to take their medications. I told them no because I wanted my brain to heal naturally. Because I'm not a doctor, I can't tell you what to do with your body. I can only tell you what I myself did to get through this mess: I took Omega-3, E, C, and B complex vitamins. I ate bananas and salmon, went to the gym often, kept a journal, avoided being alone, went outside a lot. Hope this helps | F | 26 | 4 days 10mg 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 1 | Ok I realize that this drug is posion, and the fact that it hasnt been banned yet is astounding to say the least, but some of the stuff on here just doesnt sound right. 1 dose of reglan, a drug that is out of your system in a matter of hours ruined your life forever?!?!? If you think this is bad then try a high potency dopamine blocker. This is mild stuff compared with haldol and droperidol which are also used for nausea. This drug is terribl,e and should not be used over a few days if at all, yet one dose is not going to "ruin your life". That is called hypochondria. Its having a bad reaction and thinking you will never go back to normal. A low potency dopamine blocker, one dose will in no way ruin your life. So as long as you did not take it long term, you should be fine. | M | 25 | 2 days 1X day | 11/23/2013 | 5 | 1X day | 11/14/2013 | 1 | administeted by anesthesiologist | In 2007 when I was 21 years old I went into surgery for nothing serious and before the anesthesiologist administered the general anesthesia she decided that since I had briefly mentioned I was nauseas, she would give me anti-nausea medication through my veins, without even notifying me of this decision of hers. Well, as a result of the Reglan which she administered I had a full blown cardiac event in which I had tachycardia and i felt like I was dying. My heart rate went over 200 and I was clutching my heart and the back of my neck was on fire, and I ultimately went unconscious. I had never experienced such an overwhelming sense of fear and dread in my life. I have no history of panic attacks or any allergies. But that experience traumatized me because I never fully understood what happened until I read the literature on Reglan. How this drug is available on the market is beyond me. It causes panic in patients and cardiac problems and many anesthesiologists aren't aware of these side effects. What a terrible drug. | F | 26 | 1 days | 11/13/2013 | 4 | Nausea | "Buzzy" Feeling. No better way to describe it, sorry. | I was put on this drug originally by my GP for nausea before I had an endoscopy that showed ulcers in my esophagus and stomach. After the GI, I tried at least 6 other anti-nausea meds before I asked if I could go back on the Reglan. It was the only med I found that allowed me to function with little or no side effects. I am aware of the "Black Label" side effects which do make me nervous, but am hopeful that I will only be on the drug for another few weeks while the ulcers are healing. All in all, I have found this drug to be very helpful to me. | F | 36 | 2 weeks 10 mg 3X day | 10/24/2013 | 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 |
