METOCLOPRAMIDE HCL  (METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness. Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines. This drug is not recommended for use in children due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements). Ask the doctor or pharmacist for details.   FDA Approval Date: 1985-07-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  gastroparesis Extreme drowsiness, insomnia, don't want to be social, creepy crawlies in legs, aggitation, leg jerks, sadness, joint pain, palps, severe fatigue, loss of focus, eye twitching, memory loss, worthlessness, fears, worse ringing in ears, mild anxiety, jaw twitching. weight gain I didn't know all of this was from the metoclopramide. When I got the RX both the specialist and my family doctor said that this medicine has bad hipe but that some people are on it for life and have no problems. I started having these problem right from the beginning and I went to doctors and no one even mentioned anything about the metoclopramide being the problem. Not until I started research yesterday did I realize I might have a problem and I stopped it last night. I will have to wait and see about withdraw problems so far I haven't noticed any except some mild heart palps. F 60 14 months

 4  Nausea from Hep-C Made me poop about 30 minutes after ingesting. Didn't really solve my nausea. It will empty your stomach if you have something sitting in it causing nausea. In that way it is effective. I would actually recommend this for constipation. M 26 2 weeks
