Reglan (metoclopramide) "Let me tell you these folks on here ain’t lying!!! It’s been 20 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday….didn’t even know they still allow this horrible medication! I was given this in an IV for nausea during pregnancy….the only way I can describe this pain is like they wired my body up, plugged me into a socket and I was getting electrocuted from the inside out! I cannot believe they give this medication out still to pregnant mums and their babies who can’t let them know how this feels. It’s truly chemical torture!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "This medicine is horrible. My doctor switched me to this from zofran because of constipation. I took this 1 time and it is causing severe anxiety, blurred vision, irritability and an overall weird and bad feeling all over. I needed a medication for severe pregnancy nausea and this did absolutely nothing but make me feel horrible. It also made my headaches worse. I am throwing the remainder of the pills in the trash bc that it what they are."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "The reaction I had to this medication was scary. I am 12 weeks pregnant and went to the emergancy room because I couldn't keep anything down so they started an IV and shot this medication straight into IV and when it hit me I felt horrible like I was having a panic attack. I also broke out in a rash. Never again!!! Horrible experience!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I've been taking this medication for almost 3 years now, and never had one side effect or anything but relief. I get severe headaches and ontop of that, stomach/intestional infections frequently. This is the only medicine that helps with the vomiting and nausea. And believe me, I've taken EVERYTHING in between when dealing with my issues. Reading all these comments about everyone's bad reactions is really surprising to me. I guess it affects everyone differently sometimes."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was in the ER w a migraine and dehydration due to vomiting. Instead of the regular phenagren I receive, I was administered Reglan. I became very irritated, jittery, and irrational. I tried to get out of the hospital bed and pull out my IV. It took four soldiers (we are military) to hold me down to give me a shot to counteract the Reglan. Needless to say I have Reglan allergy in my medical records now."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Side effects were - confused, disoriented, dizzy, unable to concentrate or remember what I meant to do next. Unable to remember words or communicate effectively. Eyes feel unfocused. Slight muscle twitches, dry mouth and extreme drowsiness. Thank goodness I do not have to drive myself home from work! However, the nausea and vomiting HAS stopped."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given reglan about two months ago to subside the vomiting that came along with hyperemesis gravidarum from my pregnancy. While it fixed that issue, it gave me the worst depression. I don't want to leave my bed, shower, or take care of myself or anything else. I'm letting go of this drug tomorrow."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I have had nausea for years and nothing worked so my doctor gave me Reglan. At first it worked and I was so happy then the side effects blasted in! I have never been sicker in my life. I was unable to get out of bed. I lost my mind for a long time. I even named the sides of my bed. Right side was chocolate and left was vanilla!. I could not get comfortable. I lost around 100 lbs because I couldn't eat. My kids thought I had gone crazy. THEN the worst side effect, Tardis Dykinesia set in. It is an untreatable disease that caused crazy facial ticks and body movements. This disease NEVER goes away. I have been bed bound for 8 years because of this drug! DON'T TAKE IT!!! It has a black label that warns of the horrible side effect"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given this medication for nausea at the ER while I was about 9 weeks pregnant because the Zofran didn't work. Worse reaction of my life. I jumped up and started passing out to the floor, felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin. My heart rate was tachycardia. It was worse than the nausea and it didn't help. I did get it through an IV with benadryl because they said it makes people want to crawl out of their skin. No worth it even with severe nausea."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Was given Reglan in ER for dehydration caused by hyperemesis in pregnancy. Within a few minutes I wanted to rip out my IV and run out of the hospital. I felt so exhausted but couldn’t control my body movements and just wanted to run away. It was terrifying. They gave me IV Benadryl soon after and that helped a lot. The reglan helped my nausea and vomiting sooo much. They gave me script for home but I will definitely be taking it with a dose of Benadryl. Hoping that’s enough to counteract this horrible side effects in the future. Be VERY CAREFUL with this medication. Make sure they have an order for Benadryl to use in case you have these side effects. And make sure the nurse pushes it very slow if administering through an IV."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I've been in & out of ER for years when a really nasty migraine won't stop with at home meds. I usually get a migraine cocktail with either phenergan & nuban, or benadryl & reglan. Only this time I was uncontrollably vomiting with a hernia & back surgery and needed relief pronto. When they administered benadryl I was fine, then the reglan & within minutes I was literally jumping of the bed high stepping & jumping around the room. Things your body can't physically do after multiple back surgeries. Suddenly surrounded by 4 nurses saying oh boy, this reaction to reglan only happens maybe 4 times in their careers (to this extent.) They gave me 3 shots of something to reverse effects, but took over & hour! Now have a reglan allergy band!!!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "One of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I was give Reglan through IV. I began sweating profusely and became very agitated. It progressed until I was inconsolable. I began begging my husband to help me escape the hospital. He told me I was crying and slapping myself. I was pacing around the room, sitting down and then immediately standing back up. My eyes were darting around. I remember being very suspicious of everyone around me. Anxiety does not even cover it. I’ve had panic attack’s before and this was something else, something much worse. The only way I was able to keep myself from exploding was by hurting myself. I dug my nails into my skin and pinched myself till bleeding. Truly one of the worst experiences of my life. Please don’t risk this medication. There are other options."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "OMG! This is the first time I have ever seen anyone else besides myself have an issue like this with Reglan. The first time I got it was while waiting to have surgery and the longer I sat there, the more panic stricken I became til I was just sure if I stayed I was going to die in surgery so I pulled the IV, got dressed and went home. When it wore off I felt crazy so called nurse at ay surgery and she said it happens frequently and we should try again using plain saline, not even ringers solution. I was fine the second time around. I also get it from Compazine, phenergan and ativan. They call this reaction Akathesia. ER gave me Cogentin and a couple of xanax and it was gone in 15 minutes. AWful, awful feeling!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Was given Reglan @ER for severe vomiting. My heart began to race & I felt extremely jittery & anxious. As sick as I was, I couldn't even lie down anymore, I was so "hyped up". They had to give me Ativan to reverse the effects of the Reglan. Never again."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Prescribed reglan at the ER for slow gastric emptying and nausea while pregnant. My third dose is when I had the side effects. Restlessness, agitation, and the feeling of crawling out of my skin. Side effects finally went away after 6 hours. It was awful and I will never take reglan again"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "My experience was a nightmare. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. it gave me severe anxiety and sense of dread. The nurses and hospital staff couldn't get ahold of a physician to give me something to counteract it and they were out of benadryl. Yes. The hospital was out of benadryl. I couldn't take the anxiety and I ripped out all my IV.'s and ran out to my car and left. Thats how bad the panic was"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "My husband has been type 1 diabetic since age 7. He's suffered from stomach issues for the last 10 years. Our doctor started him on Reglan for gastroparesis and it has made a drastic difference in our lives! He was vomiting for 3 days straight about every 3 weeks, almost like clock work. He's lost so much weight. But Reglan has helped him tremendously. He's been on it for about month."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given this in my IV while admitted for severe dehydration. Within 5 minutes I had a full blown panic attack that Xanax couldn't even touch. They did not tell me any of the side effects I have now read up on after that experience. I had to be discharged against medical advice because the attack was so severe I was going crazy in the room. I tried to rip my IV out from it bothering me so badly after that and they luckily came and took it out. It all started with the IV making me feel insane. My whole arm that it was administered in felt like I wanted it gone from my body that it was some foreign object touching me. I will never take this medicine again. I couldn't tell you if it helped the nausea or not because I ended up throwing up from the panic attack."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I will never take reglan ever again! Worst experience of my life! As soon as they gave me reglan through my iv I started having crazy facing thoughts, fast heart rate, felt anxious and had anxiety, couldn't stop moving, and was sweating profusely. NEVER AGAIN"

"Took this for a few weeks after being prescribed it to help pregnancy morning sickness. I was fine for a couple weeks until the anxiety started. I’ve never been an anxious person but this medication put me into a severe and dangerous state. I was suddenly so anxious I couldn’t eat or sleep for 5 days. I thought I was losing my mind. I immediately stopped the medication but weeks later I’m still dealing with the anxiety. I’m now on Zoloft and needing to be closely monitored by a perinatal mental health team. I went from having amazing mental health to being a complete mess and dreading being pregnant. I am so upset my doctor prescribed me this without warning me. I will NEVER take medication again without doing research on it. I wish I had my sane mind back!!!! Don’t take this!!! Especially if you suffer from anxiety."

"I had anxiety due to a fear of vomiting I always felt sick but I take one of these (sometimes half) before bed and I feel better the stress that I am going to vomit goes away and I have a good nights sleep without feeling sick to the stomach. Have been on it for 2 months and now I have started to cut down my dose due to the side effects I have read about. I don't have a high dose only 1 a day sometimes 2 depending on how I feel."

"I take this Maxolon for very bad vomiting and nausea . Within 15-20 minutes my nausea is gone and my stomach feels great. I only take it in an emergency after eating something that doesn’t agree with me, but it has worked absolute wonders for me !"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "PLEASE do not take this medication!! If you go into the ER for nausea and vomiting and they tell you their going to administer this medication into your IV, tell them absolutely not! I suffered from Hyperthemsis Gravidarum for the first 3 months of my pregnancy that landed me in the ER five times and I had to be put on IV fluids the first couple times they gave me zofran which worked the first and second time and then it just started making my nausea and vomiting worse. The next couple times I came into the ER and I told them the zofran was making me feel worse they decided to give me Reglan and oh my god I had never felt this way from a medication before after ten mins of them giving it to me I started shaking and feeling the worse anxiety I've ever felt and I have anxiety disorder. I wanted to rip my IV out of my arm and run out of the hospital. I remember I started looking at my IV and trying to figure out a way I could remove it myself without injuring myself."

"I was given the medication in tablet form when i was discharged from the hospital. I wil NEVER take this medication again. I was beyond agitation, angry, aggressive, heart rate went though the roof and blood pressure dropped too low. I was shaking and twitching uncontrollabley. I had to be given theee shots of the antidote to reverse the affects. I was in hospital very ill from this for 14 hours."
