"It worked great on my gastroparesis that I had after a bout of pancreatitis within 10 days, but had a very annoying side effect of shakiness. I felt like I was a Parkinsons patient and now hope that I never have that condition for real."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "The reviews for this are seriously scary, so I'm going to leave a positive one. I'm currently in the hospital due to severe malnutrition from gastroparesis. They put me on Reglan for nausea and occasional vomiting and it's definitely helped a little. Still probably going to end up on a feeding tube but I don't have any negative side effects from taking this. Yeah, it might be terrible for some people but it also has the potential to really help."

"My stomach doctor put me on this medicine. Having tons of trouble with my stomach since my gallbladder and Gastric Sleeve Surgery. I am in constant pain. I take prozac for ptsd, depression and anxiety. I am willing to try new meds. This stuff made my skin crawl. I had the WORST panic attack I have ever experienced. It made my stomach hurt worse. Felt dizzy and couldn't think right. Gave me a bad headache. Worst ever. I was taken to the ER where I was given Ativan and then some valium. Stopped taking it and within a few days everything was ok."

"After a HIDA scan showed that my gallbladder was a dud, it was removed. Soon after, the symptoms of delayed gastric emptying appeared. I had two rounds of tests and I was diagnosed with gastroparesis, probably triggered by my gallbladder removal but likely from having a genetic disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The GP was helped immensely by Reglan 5mg but I had to reduce my dosing as I developed a minor tic (nothing that really bothers me). I have awful insomnia from having EDS and have no chance of sleep unless I take 5 prescription medications. Many nights though, it was like I took nothing for sleep and I laid awake all night. I wondered if my GP was preventing my meds to pass from my stomach and be absorbed. Started taking one Reglan with my sleep meds and I now have the best sleep I’ve had in 15 years. EDS makes life very difficult but Reglan has helped me manage a couple of real troubling issues. My life would be very different without it."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "When my stomach quits working the pain is intense but using reglan , in about 15 to 20 minutes the pain goes away and my stomach goes back to working. Receiving reglan in IV is the fastest relief, it only takes about 2 minutes for relief."

"Been taking this drug for several months to help with my gastroparesis/nausea. For the first few days it made me feel a bit out of sorts but after those first few days it has been the best thing I’ve had. It has help me eat a bit easier and not spend several times a day vomiting up the food I’ve eaten. Can the side effects be unpleasant when you first start, of course but for someone like myself it has been a game changer and has made my quality of life better."

"I took this medication for 9 days after my husband and I were warned of the possible serious side effects. One morning I awoke with severe shaking and tremors along with confusion. It's been nearly 45 days and I'm still experiencing the confusion but the shaking and tremors are greatly reduced. It's really bad when a person who is an active reader and who used to knit, sew and crochet can't pick a book, knitting needles, the sewing machine or a crochet hook and concentrate. Words used over a life time don't come. I hate this feeling and inability function as I once did."
