"The first time I ended up in the ER for a migraine was 10/5/14. It started at 11 AM while I was at work and only progressed throughout the day. I wasn't able to eat, and when I finally did, I threw it up within minutes. I took 1650 mg of Tylenol between 11 AM and 10 PM, applied heat to my neck (which usually helps me), took a hot shower, and laid in a dark room... NOTHING helped that I tried. It brought me to tears, and I couldn't get comfortable or fall asleep... it felt worse while lying down. I called my mom at 10:45 PM and asked her to take me to the ER. I was given Toradol, Benadryl, and Reglan, and I felt no pain and was asleep within minutes... I slept the majority of the following day, but it helped!!!!"

"I went to the hospital for a bad migraine that at the time lasted 3 days. The worst I've ever had. They gave me a cocktail of Reglan and Benadryl through my IV. Within a minute, my chest felt like it was burning. I couldn't breathe, my blood pressure skyrocketed. They administered the Benadryl and still no help. My chest felt heavy, and I thought I was going to die. I couldn't move, talk, or anything. They put oxygen on my face and called the doctor in to see me. He then administered Valium STAT, then I began to calm down. They said that the nurse administered the Reglan too fast, causing the side effects. After about 4 hours in the ER, they sent me home. At least I left with the migraine gone! But never again will I allow Reglan to be administered to me!"

"I will never in my life allow this to be administered to me ever again in life. On 04/20/2018, I went to the ER for a severe migraine. The RN gave me a cocktail of Toradol and then the Reglan. About 30 seconds later, the nurse walked out, and I began to experience a strong, intense feeling of fear, anxiousness, and anxiety. I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm and run all the way home. I never want to feel like that again... NEVER!!"

"Lord! This was like a death experience for me. I am scarred for life. I have been feeling sick for about 4 days in which I acquired a sore throat, earache, stiff neck, super swollen lymph nodes, fever, and the worst headache ever. After the initial test that ruled out negative for meningitis, mono, and strep throat, they decided to give me a cocktail of Reglan and Benadryl through my IV. Within seconds, I felt a burning sensation as well as sleepy, so I thought I would be okay. Boy! Was I wrong. My heart was racing at 150 bpm. I lost my voice, was super jittery, and felt like I was going to die. The nurse told me to relax, she looked worried. I wanted to pull my IV off. I told her to get it off, and she insisted that she would give me Toradol to help calm me. :("

"Went to the ER on Saturday, got Reglan, Benadryl, and Toprol, along with a bag of saline. Yummy combination, knocked out my migraine and me. Slept for an hour in the hospital, then another 4 at home. I'm still wiped out, but after a doozy of a migraine, I am exhausted for at least 5 days post. Almost like a hangover."

"I was just given Reglan this morning at the ER but don't think they combined it with anything but saline. Usually, I get the physically 'hyper' feeling but with mind exhaustion with Dramamine or Benadryl. Those medicines make me feel like all my muscles need to be repeatedly stretched and like they are itchy on the inside. Luckily, I did not get this feeling at all today with just the intravenous Reglan. Even managed to sleep through half the drip. Only bad thing was that it was really cold going into my arm... my whole arm felt numb. Also, don't know if it is common or not, but was starving 6 hours later and ate more in 1 sitting than I ever before (I'm sure I will regret that tomorrow)."

"I suffer from hemiplegic migraines and had a very bad attack yesterday late morning. I went to the hospital where I was given an IV push of Benadryl, Toradol, and Reglan. As soon as she started the IV and walked out of the room, I had a horrible feeling come over my whole body. My legs felt like they were on fire, and I felt as if I was going crazy. I tried to relax and shake it off, but the feeling wouldn’t go away, and I became dizzy and almost delusional. I called my wife to tell her what was going on, and she told me to hit the call button, so I called the nurse back in and told her how I was feeling, and she said the Reglan has that effect on some people. She pushed Ativan to counteract it. It was a scary feeling."

"Had a myelogram on a Friday. By Sunday, I had the worst headache in my life! Tried to get through the pain, but by Monday morning, I was told to go to the ER. I told them I had a spinal headache, not my typical migraine. They gave me IV fentanyl, which calmed it for 20 minutes. They then gave me the 'cocktail' of Benadryl, Reglan, and Toradol. Within minutes, I was shaking violently and couldn't control it. It made me so nauseated. I thought I was going to either have a seizure or a heart attack! It didn't give me any relief at all-not even sleepy. After several unsuccessful pages to anesthesia for a blood patch, I said I had enough and wanted out of there (after more than 6 hours in the ER)."

"I don't have a history of migraine, but I had severe headache for 3 days, so I went to the ER. After doing some scans, they gave me Benadryl, Toradol, and Reglan by IV. As soon as Reglan was injected, I had a severe reaction to it within seconds, and I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, I was literally paralyzed. I could hear people talking, but I wasn't able to respond, and my heart rate went to 150 bpm. It was the worst feeling ever. They had to give me an antidote to reverse the effects, but it still took almost 3 hours for me to actually speak again. After that day, I personally do not like Reglan and how dangerous the side effects can be."

"Do not take this medicine. One-time IV dose. Causes nervous system damage. First Parkinson's side effects, then anxiety after five months not gone. Possible sensitivity to other medications. Horribly traumatic. Couldn't work."

"Given IV with Toradol & Benadryl. My headache went away almost immediately. Soon after that, I started shivering and trembling. I dismissed it, thinking I was just cold because of the hospital temperature & the IV fluids. I also had to pee so bad that I unhooked it myself because I could not wait for the nurse to come in and help me. I was so restless and anxious that I drove home, knowing the nurse told me to call a ride, but it's like I couldn't control the urge to just make it home and go to bed. I didn't realize that all of those symptoms were side effects of the medicine until I got home & started to tremble more & was unable to sleep. Since then, I've been having panic attacks & anxiety, muscle stiffness & twitches. DO NOT TAKE."

"OMG, where do I begin? Was in the emergency room for severe migraine and nausea. They gave me this drug through my IV. Never again. I began to sweat, I started cursing and screaming, I was so anxious and delirious. It was a terrible experience. I feel like I needed to just run out of the hospital. Do not recommend."

"Like the other anonymous user, I went to the ER with a migraine. I received this medicine and Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) intravenously. The side effects were intolerable. Within minutes of injection, a combination of agitation, nervousness, and anxiety overwhelmed my already throbbing head. I felt trapped, as if there was no escaping the discomfort of the side effects. I gave this a 3/10 because it still prevented me from throwing up after I already had several times. It works, but I won't ever use it again. I know it wasn't the Benadryl, as I have taken it since without incident."

"I've had a headache for a little over a month, followed by nausea. However, yesterday there was some pressure with it, so I went to the ER. At the ER, I was told that I would receive a migraine cocktail, which was Benadryl, Reglan, and IV fluids. Not knowing what to expect, I accepted. As soon as I was given the medicine through my IV, I immediately began to feel jittery. My legs started shaking, it felt like something was crawling on me, and then I got extremely sleepy. I kept falling asleep, but every time I woke up, I had some serious anxiety. I never want to experience that feeling again. And what do you know, today my head is starting to hurt again."

"Went to the ER for high blood pressure and was having a bad headache as well. Was given Reglan cocktail and afterwards I have had the worst anxiety ever. I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm and run out of there. I will never let them give me those meds again."

"I'm not kidding when I tell you this medication made me feel a way I never want to feel again. I have since listed this medication as an allergy because I refuse to go through what this medication put me through. I was losing it inside the ER after being given this. Could not sit still and wanted to rip my IV out. I would have rather felt a migraine/nausea than be given this. Would not wish this medication on my worst enemy. Very jittery and uneasy throughout your body. Please be advised."

"I was diagnosed with 'Chronic Migraine Disease' 18 yrs. ago. I have tried too many medications to list. Almost all of which have not worked for me. About 9 yrs. ago, during a trip to the emergency for a migraine, I had the worst nausea. I was given Reglan for the first time. Not only did it stop the nausea, it calmed my migraine down! I wasn't even given any Dilaudid. I couldn't believe it! I was later prescribed Reglan along with Maxalt. This combo worked the best for me. However, my doctor quit using Maxalt. So, while searching for new meds, my doctor gave me a prescription of Reglan to at least help with the nausea. Not only did it help with that, but if caught early enough, it would stop my migraines. I love Reglan!"

"I'm surprised to see all of the negative comments about the Reglan, Benadryl, Toradol combo. It's been a lifesaver for me! When I've gotten a terrible migraine that I couldn't shake, this was the only combo that could help me. I never experienced any bad side effects like the ones people have mentioned. I've been given it several times while at the hospital, and it has always gotten rid of my migraines without really any negative side effects. The only thing is that it makes me really sleepy."

"I went to the E.D. 2 nights ago for a massive headache, the worst headache I have ever had in my life, and I was miserable and dry heaving. When I finally got pulled back, they gave me the 'headache cocktail' with Reglan, Benadryl, and Toradol. The nurse started taking the blood pressure in the same arm as my IV. While it was squeezing my arm, it was shooting pain in my arm. The fluids were painful in my arm, and I kept begging for them to take them out. I had a massive panic attack and couldn't keep my legs still. I started feeling like I needed to get out of my own skin, and my clothes were strangling me. I started begging for them to let me leave because I HAD TO go. It took about 30-45 min for me to actually calm down. My headache went away, but I freaked out both my mom and my boyfriend. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. While I was leaving, the doctor was like, 'Oh, yeah, one of the medicines can wind you up and give you anxiety like that.' Thanks, glad you tell me this now."

"I as well had a severe migraine that was 2 days old. Went to ER and she said, let's try Reglan and Benadryl. I said do whatever. Within 20 seconds of the IV, I literally froze. My heart was beating insanely, my brain was doing 100, and my body froze. I couldn't move if someone pointed a gun at me. I tripped out so bad. She tried talking to me and I didn't even answer. So she said the lights would turn off and get some sleep. I finally could move my fingers to text my then boyfriend, please come lol. I was pregnant years after, and with that came migraines. Went to my doctor and she said, let's try Reglan... I stopped her and said like hell! She just did Benadryl and Tylenol 3 pills. Good lord. That drug is for the devil, I'm sure."

"Had a migraine for three days that escalated and went to the ER. They gave me Reglan with saline. Not only did it do NOTHING for my headache, it put my Restless Leg Syndrome into overdrive, affecting my entire body, but wouldn't prescribe anything for that. They attempted to flush it out with more saline to no avail. They eventually gave me Fioricet, and that at least helped, though didn't stop the migraine."

"About a year and a half ago now, I had just had a tooth extracted that was causing a severe headache. I made the mistake of going to the ER. I was administered Benadryl and Reglan and had a horrible reaction with my heart racing. The ER tried to imply that me describing the negative effects of the drug was an 'anxiety attack' rather than side effects from the drug."

"OMG, worst medicine mixture ever!!! I’ve had this terrible stuff 2 times. The first time, I went to the ER for an awful migraine, and they gave me Compazine, Reglan, and Benadryl, and immediately I started feeling very tired but restless and anxious at the same time. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn’t because I felt like I just wanted to run out of there and just go home! It’s the worst anxious feeling I’ve ever experienced. So, the next time I had a migraine, they wanted to give me that, and I thought, well, maybe it was just a bad reaction last time or something, but NOPE! I had the same feeling, and they wanted to do an MRI on me because of other neurological symptoms I came in with, but since I was feeling so awful, I just told them, nope, I want to be discharged. I’m definitely going to tell them next time those medications I cannot tolerate, and I refuse them."

"I was given a cocktail of Reglan and Benadryl for a migraine at the ER. Within no time, the migraine was gone, but a few minutes later, I got an awful panic attack. I thought I was going to die. I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm. When this happened, my boyfriend got the doctor, and she said this happens to about 50% of people. Since I'm so small, they started with only a half dose of Benadryl to make me sleep, but after I couldn't sleep because of the side effects from Reglan, they gave me the other half dose. I am lucky to have had my boyfriend there to get a nurse and calm me, and I'm lucky they could give me more Benadryl. I will not take this medicine again. If you have to take Reglan, bring someone to help you, but I suggest not taking this at all."

"Visited the ER due to an intense migraine lasting 7 days with 4 impacted wisdom teeth coming in. Face swollen, migraine, and intense anxiety went to a different hospital and was hoping for something that worked, but got the Reglan/Benedryl cocktail which made me freak out like an idiot, and I cried for anxiety meds when a new doctor came in and denied me anything else and called me a pill popper, although the only meds I'm taking are for my teeth pain (antibiotic and a steroid) and also continued to be rude while still having an outrageous migraine. Home now... hours later... with a migraine still......"
