Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was given Reglan pre surgery last month. My daughter was with me and warned me that she had a bad experience with the drug; made her anxious and weird feeling. The nurse said that the chances of me experiencing any symptoms were very low, so I went ahead and let her administer it to me. Bad decision! The side effects were horrifying. I felt the need to leave the hospital and felt super anxious. Luckily they were able to rinse out with saline and the effects subsided. If my daughter wasn't with me to explain, I would have thought I was losing my mind! Never again!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) for GERD "I have no side effects with Reglan after 3 months of use. It works well when combined with Nexium, this combo is the only med that works for my gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I have tried them all, and these 2 medicines reduce the GERD down by approximately 75%. I also have my bed propped up at the head by 6 inches."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Gastroparesis "Im on reglan right now for gastropersis and its working great for my stomach. I am shaking alot more and have restlessness especially in my legs also feeling a little more tense sometimes but its really helping with my stomach.

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "Was given an IV dose of Reglan before I left the hospital and I cannot sit still. Wanted to rest when I came home but all I'm doing is pacing, moving my legs, and wishing I never let them inject me with this."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Migraine "I shared the same feeling of panic after receiving an IV push of Reglan. I never had panic disorder before, but now I can’t get rid of it. I really want to get the COVID vaccine but this experience is really making me nervous. Has anyone else who had this reaction received if?"

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "I got prescribed the Reglan, for my nausea, and gastroparesis, and I only need to take two or three days worth and not the full months worth, it works great, except for one of the minor side effects that I get every time I take it. I would recommend it to anybody who has nausea, gastroparesis, GERD."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Lactation Augmentation "I was prescribed Reglan drops to increase breast milk. I was at work one day and had a wave of fear and anxiety overcome me to the point I had to be hospitalized. The horror of a side effect lasted about 2 weeks. It was the darkest, most perverse feeling I have ever felt- I feel like the word anxiety doesn’t encompass the full terror this drug caused."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "I went to the ER because I was extremely dehydrated due to vomiting in my pregnancy, I was given Reglan thru an IV. Within minutes I felt jittery and despite how sick I was I couldn't sit down. They then gave me Benadryl thru my IV which knocked me out. The ER doc released me with a script for reglan and told me I wouldn't have the "jittery" side effects with the pill like I did thru the IV. I took reglan 4 times a day as prescribed for 5 days. In those 5 days I have never in my life felt so miserable, I was sweating, had a fever, became jaundice, hallucinated, QUIT MY JOB. never felt so sick in all my life. Today is day one without Reglan and it is night and day difference in how I feel off the medicine. I don't recommend this drug!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Migraine "So just last night, I went to the hospital for a virus accompanied by a migraine. The doctor decides to give me a Benadryl and a shot of reglan. 3 to 5 minutes after the reglan has set in ( I know it was the reglan because I take Benadryl no problem) I go into a full blown panic attack. I have this complete sense of dread, I felt as though if I didn't get out of my own skin, or just that hospital, I felt I was going to die then and there. I honestly don't think actually dying will be as bad a feeling as this. I ripped out my IV, there was blood flinging everywhere along with the fluids that were dripping in. The doctor runs in yells at me then goes out and slams the door behind him. Which totally intensified my panic and I ran out of the hospital. The whole way home I just kept thinking I wouldn't survive to see my kids again. It felt like an hour drive and it was literally 5 minutes. Never again."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Migraine "11/2/21 I had a terrible migraine went to ER they gave me a cocktail for Migraines. I wasn’t told the side effects. As soon as the Teglan, Benadryl, Toradol was put in my IV …It was the worst anxiety I’ve ever felt. I instantly wanted it out of my system. A day later and still anxious. I would rather have a terrible headache than those meds any day."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Gastroparesis "I use metoclopramide for mild gastroparesis flare ups, as I've had Type 1 Diabetes for 27 years. It works wonders on moving food through my stomach! The only side effect I've had is tiredness after taking it, but it doesn't hit me all the time. When I take it before I eat I don't vomit or experience nausea. This is especially great since I love salad and I can't eat it without metoclopramide. Great drug! :-)"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I've been taking metoclopramide on and off for years for nausea and vomiting. Do they space you out? Sort of like a light head rush. I've still driven a car just fine on them, gone shopping, cooked dinner etc. Some people are very dramatic, but I also understand some people may have different effects. I'd say take half and see how you get on. I don't mind the slightly spaced feeling, Ive experienced a lot worse on other anti sickness. Does it get rid of sickness? YES Whats the worst thing to ever experience? SICKNESS. So therefore if it does the job then thank god eh!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "Please avoid this drug at all costs. Possible life long side effects. Yesterday, I was in the hospital due to a Crohn’s flare up. Due to negligence, I was given a drug I’m extremely allergic to called Reglan. It induced a Parkinsonism reaction (akin to Parkinson’s disease) where I started violently seizing and convulsing. For 30 minutes, I lost motor control of my eyes, legs, arms, and mouth. The only thing voluntary movement I could do was move my eyes side to side. Benadryl counteracted the effects, but for 30 minutes, I thought I was going to die. And I bite off part of my tongue. And in those moments, I realized that some people live their whole lives like that. Paralyzed. So at the end of the day when you’re feeling upset over little things just realize it can be much worse. I beg the pharmaceutical industry to remove this drug. It’s not worth our lives."

For Gastroparesis "This instantly cleared up my issues with my stomach not emptying and associated diarrhea with undigested food. I still take it occasionally when I feel food sitting heavily and have not had any side effects at all."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Migraine "I went to the ER for extreme neck and head pain. They said they were going to treat me with a headache cocktail. The nurse shot 3 medicines in me quickly. The first was reglan. Immediately after she put this in my iv I felt an intense pressure in my chest and I could barely breathe. I began to feel so restless and jittery. I wanted to jump up and rip the IV out and run. I tried to lay there and calm down but I felt terrible intense anxiety and worried I was going to die. I felt panic like never before. I thought something was wrong with me, I'm so glad I'm not alone. I'll never agree to this medicine again, and my head still hurt when I left!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) for GERD "I was supposed to take it 3x's a day, after two doses I began to experience severe side effects. My heart was racing, I couldn't sit still, I couldn't control my eyes. They were rolling around, I couldn't focus on anything. I only took two doses of the medication before I stopped, not even a full days worth. The side effects (inability to focus my eyes) remained for over a week after I stopped taking it."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Migraine "This is not good I thought I was leaving this world I'm still experiencing side effect I took it yesterday through the IV and I got really paranoid it was the worst feeling it might not cause this feeling for some but I can related to anyone who has had a side effect from this med. If I have a headache next time I know what not to do when I go to the ER. I thought I was the only one but thanks to the internet we can share our experience. I would think they where using us as lab rats that med has weird side effects I'm still feeling it. I took it on 9/6/2015 and today I feel jittery & can't relax. I gotta move around a lot and I feel like taking off running its just the worst feeling."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "I was in hospital after birth of my son. I was given Reglan after my Tubal for nausea and it almost was the end of me. I was highly allergic. There were 2 nurses in my room talking and I couldn’t even communicate with them that something was wrong. I had my phone in my hand and luckily my dr had text me earlier and was able to text 911 to her and send right at that moment. She immediately contacted the nurse and I was not breathing when the nurse turned around. So scary."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Gastroparesis "I live with a Type 1 diabetic who developed Gastroparesis 3 years ago. Our GI put him on Reglan, he was highly anxious, angry, suffered from restless leg and was still throwing up. On the Reglan he puked a lot or more and here's the kicker IT MADE HIM THROW UP after taking him off of the drug. The primary care we had explained how Reglan can only be used for short periods of time and although she took him off Reglan. Also, be aware that he was still gonna puke till he was weened off of it. The erythromycin he was given only gave him diarrhea, and was still puking. They need way more research for this because the 2 options you give to these people are garbage. He didn't want surgery but he is not gonna have a choice this disease can't be controlled yet and watching him suffer is out of the question."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Nausea/Vomiting "I have sickle cell disease so in addition to severe pain I have bouts of nausea/vomiting. I was given Reglan in the ER; within 5 min I felt extreme agitation, restlessness, dripping sweat & shaking uncontrollably. I begged the nurse to tell the doctor I was having a reaction. She did but with very little urgency, instead telling me to get back in the stretcher but I couldn't due to sweating, shaking & needing to pace. I was sent for a chest X-ray but the tech sent me back saying she was uncomfortable handling me in this state. I again pleaded with the nurse to call the doctor. He finally came & I was given benedryl to reverse the effects. I felt calmer but it took a while for the shaking to stop. Nurse & doctor acted like I was crazy smh."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Gastroparesis "For me Reglan was a blessing as it ended my nausea, pain, and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. I know that for some people it comes with severe side effects. I was put on it for long term use. After reading up on it, I learned that it is recommended to be used for no longer than 12 weeks as that is often long enough to control symptoms for the time without the risk of long term use. If symptoms reoccur a person can go back on it. This happened to me. I was off it and went back on it for a month and my symptoms again improved. Also, reading the reviews, I see that some of you have been diagnosed with gastroparesis by doctors suspecting it. There are tests that can give a definitive diagnosis so another problem is not missed."

Reglan (metoclopramide) for Migraine "I had been treated in ER for migraine and received tordol and some other anti nausea meds and I did wonderfully, then 2 mo. Later I went to ER for migraine and they wanted to try something new, tordol and reglan....thought to myself the other treatment worked well, why change it, but ER doc insisted. Tordol in IV great, Reglan went in and I felt it burn up my arm, I became agitated and within 30 seconds said to my husband...I think I'm having a panic attack and then did! I am a medical professional and here I was yelling for the nurses because I thought I was going to die. My poor husband! It was a wild experience of feeling like I was passing out but I was lying down. Felt like I was losing blood flow to my brain. Horrible experience!"
