Reglan (metoclopramide) "Post-bariatric surgery, I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks with horrible nausea and vomiting. They added Reglan to my medicines, and after the first dose, I stopped feeling sick and was able to come home. This is the third week post-op, and I am taking it about 1 time per day in the syrup form (tastes awful!). It was my reflux that was causing the problem, and every other reflux medicine did nothing to touch it. I am so thankful to have this medication available."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Reglan is the only medication that has ever worked for me post-operatively. Phenergan gives me hallucinations, and Zomig doesn't work at all. Every other surgery I've ever had, I couldn't use the pain pump because I would vomit so severely or become so dizzy from the medication that they would give me for the vomiting that made me sick. This was a godsend for me."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "It worked well for me. Everyone is different though. Had major abdominal surgery and was given Reglan and Zofran to keep my stomach calm… Vomiting could have been life-threatening. It worked fine, no side effects at all. Continued taking it orally at home and I'm at just about my 11th week. I am discontinuing it due to certain side effects I don’t want to mess with when taking for more than 12 weeks."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "OMG. Went to the ER anxious about my pain, but it was tolerable. Dr. ordered fluids, Benadryl, and Reglan through an IV. First, the nurse came and gave me the first two and said she forgot the Reglan, she’ll be right back. The nurse came back and injected the Reglan. HOLY MOLY. It took a minute, but seconds after the ultrasound tech came in to grab me. I told her, while walking down the hall, I felt extremely dizzy and I wanted to pass out. She laid me down on her table and impending DOOM set in. I felt the most anxious I’ve ever felt, she told me, 'What did they give you?' and I said Reglan. She admittedly said, 'Oh no, here, let me speed up your fluid bag and let’s flush it out ASAP.' I said, 'Ok,' as I panicked on her table. I never felt anything like this. I have anxiety, but this was awful. She put a cold face cloth on my head and gave me 10 minutes. It worked. I had a racing heart. Sweaty, dizzy, I just couldn’t move. Never again. Apparently, this is super common. I was close to walking out of the ER."
