"Been combating nausea for a while, doc gave me reglan to try out (pill form). I think I had to pay for it out of my own pocket, it was quite expensive for a 42-pill box (14 days worth, 3 pills per day) I took one pill. felt weird, a bit shaky, but nausea went away. Later that day I took the second pill, started feeling sleepy, more shaky, couldn't sit still. I didn't really connect it to the pills so later I took the third pill and I think I went crazy when it kicked in. Very anxious and "I want out of this" feeling. I would never take this drug again. I'd rather throw up."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "My morning sickness was so bad and I couldn’t handle it with all the ginger, saltines, and other things they say to try. I even tried vitamin combos with Unisom by my Dr. but nothing worked until I was told to take Reglan. I take it 4 times a day with 25mg of B6 and then 1/2 a unisom a night. I still have food adversities (like can’t stand the smell of coffee or onions) but I can eat mostly normal (which is great as I was loosing weight and already on the small side). I would give 10/10 except it makes me sleepy. I’ve found other caffeine (verb bars) which help but still always feel like I need a nap. Still SO MUCH BETTER than how sick and miserable I was feeling and sleepiness can also possibly a result of pregnancy cause that first trimester is always hard."

"I take it metoclopramide 10 mg dose and I’m 3 months pregnant. I only take it when needed and it works for me. It makes me a little drowsy after a few hours but I normally only get sick when I eat sweets or drink something sweet my baby doesn’t agree with. As far as that it works. I usually lay down after taking it and I eat a small snack, but I rather take it when I’m about to nap. I mostly use it after throwing up or eating food that’s not agreeing with me. However it works for me !"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given this med for severe morning sickness with my beautiful twins. I spent an entire night in absolute terror as I had racing thoughts. Instead of a controllable stream of thought, my thoughts were like a freight train running over me. I was completely frantic by the time it wore off. Never took another dose, memorized the name to make sure I never take it again."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Just to make others aware, I also had very negative reactions to this medicine. I was given it before a lower back surgical procedure to prevent nausea. Within probably less than 2 minutes after having Reglan injected into an IV, I went from totally normal to hyperventilating and having extreme paranoia almost to the point of hallucinations. I became angry, threatening, and confrontational with EVERYONE around me including strangers, ripped out my IV tubing, and ran out of the hospital. It wore off about 30 minutes later and I returned to the hospital and apologized profusely and continued with pre-surgery items. Nurses told me they see similar side effects of anxiety and people "wanting to leave urgently" but never as extreme as it was for me. I now list it as an allergy, and would warn anyone to stay away from it."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given Reglan as part of a drug cocktail for migraine. Although Benadryl was part of the infusion I still had horrible symptoms. First I started to hallucinate. Then fell asleep began having nightmares of suffocation. Nurse woke me and I still couldn’t orient myself and just kept saying “help me” over and over my whole body jerking and arms especially spastic . I couldn’t stay awake and kept falling back then immediately waking with my whole body jerking and my arms and legs flailing around so bad I couldn’t use the call button or even pick it up. They sent me home that way. It lasted about 4 hours. I was flailing so hard my husband could hardly get me into the car. I will have this added to drug allergies.this was one of the the most horrible experiences of my life."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given Reglan once in the ER one night they didn’t tell me anything about the bad stuff till after they used it I ended up with muscle spasms in my neck that made it impossible to turn my head I was so scared because of it. It’s in all of my charts to NEVER give this to me I even called my mum and basically said my goodbyes Thinking I wasn’t going to live and I have no mental health problems."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Was in hospital following surgery and was given Reglan IV to control nausea when zofran didn't work. I developed intermittent atrial fibrillation. My nurse and I both noticed my heart would be fine until sometime after my shot of Reglan. She called hospital pharmacist who said it was feasible Reglan could cause cardiac trouble. Once Reglan was withheld, the afib stopped. It certainly helped the nausea, but not good to wind up with afib."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was prescribed Reglan during my first pregnancy for hyperemesis gravidarum and now I have to get an allergy band every time I go for medical treatment. Within half an hour I began to experience uncontrollable muscle spasms, and, although I only took this medication once in the morning, the spasms did not completely go away for a full 12 hours. During this time, I felt extremely nervous - like I wanted to unzip my skin and run away. Reglan did absolutely nothing to curb my extreme nausea and vomiting. Thankfully my baby was unaffected."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "The worst experience in my life. I went in for a flare up from my IBS , the RN gave me Reglan through my IV and immediately I felt suicidal! I never wanted to escape my own body in my entire life. Reglan gave me the worst anxiety possible. I wouldn’t recommend this medication at all. It’s a very very scary experience."

"I always have adverse reactions to metoclopramide! It causes me to feel restless, jittery, anxious & vomit more, these effects last 24hrs. Zofran or Doxylamine for nausea & vomiting are better options for me that do not have those awful side effects & work well like they should!"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was in the hospital for severe nausea/vomiting and was given Reglan through IV to help. I have a fear of needles, so I had my anti-anxiety medication with me. Within a few minutes of the administration, I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin or die. I nearly ripped my IV out of my arm, and I had to have my fiancee go get a nurse to rush through the discharge. It did help the nausea, and I took an anti-anxiety pill, which kicked in enough after about 45 minutes for me to be coherent again. The panic on the ride home as a passenger was so bad, it gave me a lasting discomfort of being in cars. I will do everything in my power to never take this medication again. I'd rather puke my guts out."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "AWFUL, I took metoclopramide for a migraine headache causing me to be extremely nauseous. I was on it for 2 days. I had hallucinations, tremors, the shakes, blurred vision, was seeing things, was unable to finish my sentences, and couldn't make words with speech, mania, swelling, numbness, hands are still to shaky to text and have any strength. This medication should be discontinued, its that bad."

"My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant and was prescribed maxolon for morning sickness. A few hours after taking it she had a feeling of anxiety and couldn't concentrate on anything. She was wandering aimlessly around the house not knowing what to do. She would try to sit down but couldn't settle. Later that day she experienced a full blown panic attack. Couldn't breath, trembling, cramps. She went straight to her doctor who did not connect the symptoms to the medication. Her husband asked them to call the ambulance however the hospital did not make the connection either sending her for CT scan and blood tests. Over the next week or so she was in a constant state of anxiety unable to care properly for herself or her son. Unable to drive or be left alone. She had 2 more visits to her doctor who diagnosed panic disorder and referred her to a psychologist. After doing our own research she has stopped taking maxolon and is beginning to feel normal again."

Maxolon (metoclopramide) "Was given maxolon during a SVT episode as I become quite nauseated, reacted terribly. It made me non stop vomit and when vomiting was unable to breathe. Took doctors awhile to figure out what was causing the reaction ended up in ICU for 72 hours..."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Last night I was in the ER for nausea, vomiting, dizziness. Reglan was added after zofran and meclizine didn’t totally resolve symptoms. Same as others, I experienced the worst agitation of my life. Screaming, thrashing, begging them to knock me unconscious. It was horrific. They gave me Ativan and Benadryl, eventually I fell asleep. They said, Oh some people react this way. I can’t believe they continue to use a drug that does this."

"I have Crohn's disease & was prescribed metoclopramide a while ago for nausea. However I've not felt nauseous for a while. Last night I felt awful & remembered I had these tabs. I took one 10mg tablet. It did stop the nausea & I didn't vomit but I had the worst nights sleep with hallucinatory dreams, feelings of anxiety & restlessness. I have been in bed all day today feeling drained but still restless."

"Wow there is a lot of negative reviews about this drug...and yes every drug effects every one differently. But I was reading how people got anxiety and horrible depression from it, for me I never got that but I'm already on anti depressant and anti anxiety medication so that could be it...I never got any side effects from it it worked AMAZINGLY for vomiting and feeling nauseous...it was the only thing that worked for me!! I do give it 10/10 for sure. :)"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I’m 10 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with severe nausea and vomiting for the past 4 weeks. Throwing up almost every meal and I was severely dehydrated. My ob friend recommended unisom 25 mg nightly and b6 25 mg 3x a day but it did not work. If anything I just threw it up after I took it. She then prescribed me reglan. Good heavens it definitely has been god send. I’ve taken two doses the past two days now and I have not thrown up. There’s still some slight nausea but it’s better than not having to run to the bathroom 10x a day to vomit."

"This medicine works for me like a charm. I struggle with stomach ulcers at 21 yrs old. I take this medicine as need by 10mg tablets. I mostly use zofran instead but Reglan is only when my nausea is severe. I was first given in IV when I went in to the ER for really bad acid reflux nausea and vomiting. After that they prescribed me this and I love it. I personally don’t get side effects maybe a little bit of drowsiness here and there but what medicine doesn’t do that? It also helps my feeling of being full I take it 30 mins before eating. I then eat and I’m able to digest my food fine instead of being full for 8 hours plus on a small portion of food."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Just like many others have said, I was given this in the ER for nausea and vomiting. TERRIBLE!!!! Do NOT let a doctor give you this medicine!!!! It makes you feel mentally insane and violently ill! Your entire body shakes, intense muscle cramping and contortions, nerve pain, panic attacks, have the urge to rip out the IV and escape the hospital bed, dizzy, confusion, uncontrollable body movements. Like many others have said as well, this medication can truly be PTSD inducing, especially if you have history of anxiety/depression. I thought I was insane until I saw the amount of people with the same bizarre side effects. And it didn't even touch my nausea or vomiting issue in the slightest! Can't believe this medication is even used still in ER or hospital settings. Stick to safe nausea medications like Zofran (ondansetron). The only one I trust, even if it doesn't always work. At least it won't drive you to insanity."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "Was given Reglan to help with nausea from antibiotics and felt soon after taking it paranoia, anxiety, and like I wanted to die. This was totally uncharacteristic of me. I called the pharmacy and asked if this could be a side effect. She told me I may be having an allergic reaction and to take some Benadryl and call 911. I took the Benadryl and fell asleep. I didn't call 911. When I woke up I was fine and back to normal. Have never taken Reglan again."

Reglan (metoclopramide) "I was given Reglan while pregnant to help with nausea/vomiting. While it helped with nausea, I felt like I was going crazy. Could not sleep, couldn’t sit still, my mind was racing. It was terrible. I immediately stopped taking it. I would have rather dealt with the nausea than feel that way."

"PLEASE DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!!! I wish someone had told me this, and I wish I had read the reviews. This drug metoclopramide gave me akathisia, something that I didn’t even know existed. This drug is poison. I couldn’t stop pacing, still restless, have horrible restless legs now, panic attacks constantly, anxiety. It’s been two months since and still going"
