"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."

"I suffered from extreme vomiting and nausea during my first trimester. I have been on reglan for two days and have finally got some relief, I can actually cry. I have had no other side effects so I'm very grateful!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I was given reglan for nausea for pregnancy and within minutes I felt like I was going crazy. I was super jittery and sweating like a pig. I felt like ripping my IV out and running home. I couldn’t even pee. Took a few hours for it to go away and it was horrible."

"Hello, I'm not sure if Reglan good or bad because when I take it I still feel freaking sick at other times I'm good. I cried this morning cause I feel like I have no relief to my morning sickness, I'm not having no more kids"

"I went to urgent care because my nausea has been unmanageable. I don’t throw up all day like I did with my first born, but the nausea makes it impossible to really eat or even take sips of water. I threw up my water yesterday and it was the final straw, sending me to UC. The doctor ordered 2L of NS and a reglan push. I too felt like taking the IV out of my arm, but I was also uncomfortable and shaking because, of course, the NS doesn’t feel so comfortable entering your body. I felt pretty ill for 15 minutes, then I knocked out. Honestly, after I felt way better. The nausea was non existent and I actually had an appetite where I was craving foods again. I didn’t want to take reglan, but I’ve tried all the tips and tricks one can do. I do not want to take it again, just because I don’t like taking medication during pregnancy, but it really helped. Today I’m back to barely having any appetite, for both food and water."

Saturday May 8th I went back to the ER because I was having stroke like symptoms found out that it was the reglan that had caused every symptom that I had, face droop unable to talk etc. I WILL NEVER TAKE REGLAN AGAIN"

"I was given this drug Reglan while I was in labor. I was vomiting every 2-3 contractions, and felt awful. Prior to receiving the medication I was very calm and taking deep breaths through my contractions. Within minutes of receiving the IV Reglan I had a HUGE anxiety attack and began flipping out saying that I couldn’t do this anymore, just take the baby out, I was literally alligator rolling on the bed. I was in a full blown panic attack. It took my husband and the nurse 10 minutes to calm me down, and I was still vomiting either contractions. The rest of my labor went fine, and I didn’t panic at any other point."

"I went to the ER for non-stop vomiting & they gave me Reglan through the IV. I was already sitting in the room waiting to be treated for 3 hours so I was already annoyed but once they administer the Reglan & left me there for what would’ve been more hours, I felt like I was going insane. Never in my life have I felt so manic, I called my husband stuttering to him saying “I’m gonna rip the IV out my arm! I have to get out of this hospital!” So he told me to calm down & maybe someone would come check on me but a hour passed & I finally lost it & dialed the nurse to discharge me from the hospital asap. I felt so embarrassed & kept saying “I don’t know why I feel like this” but I was too restless & my anxiety was literally making me crazy. They never warned me of any side effects."

"I had surgery on my nose and was given Reglan afterwards because of nausea. This was a terrible mistake, I immediately felt jittery and so restless like I could run a marathon. Thankfully I was still tired that I fell asleep not long after. A few months later I went to the ER after vomiting all night and the nurse injected something into my IV without telling me exactly what it was and I got the same feelings all over again they had to give me something to reverse it and this time I asked for the name of the drug so I can make sure it’s never given to me again."

"Have been on Reglan over 1 year. With Reglan I am again able to participate in physical activity without vomiting and nausea AFTERWARDS. Last week Dr says we still don't know why when I get over heated or stressed I vomit get light sensitive nausea etc. Put me on Zofran, blah feel like rubbish with a constant headache now. What do I do."

"I was prescribed Reglan after suffering severe hyperemesis for about 4 weeks. I was desperate, throwing up 3-8 times daily and feeling sick all day. Couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep etc. It was an absolute nightmare. I was finally given this medicine after trying some b-6 and antihistamines which btw did absolutely nothing for me. All I can say is wow. It gave me a semblance of a life again. My sickness is not ALL the way gone but it’s extremely manageable. I would recommend this for hy. Anyone that has ever had hyperemesis knows how much of a nightmare it is. I won’t give a perfect score because the sickness is not ALL the way gone but really close."

"16 year old daughter got this prescribed for her nausea at a children’s hospital. Two days later, severe allergic reaction - her neck and back started arching and she couldn’t control it. Ambulance took her to hospital. They gave her Benadryl which was the antidote. Doc said she suffered acute Dystonia because of Reglan and it combining with Prozac did not help at all."

"I received this medication for nausea while 39 weeks pregnant. I initially received Zofran and when that didn’t work - they gave me Reglan. I was not informed of the side effects I would feel. I have really bad anxiety when it comes to side effects after receiving Benadryl through IV 2 years ago. My IV site was infiltrated and the Benadryl leaked into my blood stream. Since then, I’m anxious about receiving anything other than fluids through IV. Anyway, they gave me the Reglan. After 10 mins, I was inconsolable. I couldn’t find a comfortable spot. I started to breathe faster, I felt under the influence almost. An extreme panic attack. I was trying to keep myself from shaking. I got chills. I told my husband to hug me (he usually does this when I have an anxiety induced attack). He had to hug me for 15 minutes. If he let go, I just kept getting up and down. I wanted to cry, I felt like screaming, I felt like jumping out of my own skin. I kept telling myself to relax. It was crazy."

"I was given this drug in the ER because I was puking and having pain in my stomach, it was the scariest experience of my life as soon as the medicine was injected into me I felt like I was in another world I genuinely thought I was going to die. I had an extreme panic attack they gave me morphine too so a few minutes later I fell asleep and when I woke up I was okay. But I’ll never take this again I made them put it on my allergy list"

"I was given this medication while I was in the ER with food poisoning. It made me feel like I was crawling out of my skin with anxiety. It was like having the worst panic attack ever that I couldn't escape.... My heart was racing and I felt like I was going to die. The nurse came in and gave me some Benadryl, saying that reaction sometimes occurs with that medication. It made me go to sleep and it was such a relief."

"I was in the ER for hyperemesis gravidarum. I could not hold anything down. I was admitted into the hospital and was given 5MG of Reglan every 6 hours through IV. It definitely helped with my nausea. HOWEVER, it made me extremely restless and I could not sleep for 3 days while in the hospital, and I take Seroquel 200mg also. I do think it was a combination of not being comfortable in the hospital and the Reglan, because I slept at home once I’m out with the pill form. BUT, I’ve been spacing the Seroquel and Reglan hours apart and not at the same time because I do think it definitely tributes to the Seroquel not being as effective since Reglan is made to empty your stomach, and to process things better. Taking them at the same time was not as effective for sleep. I have a history of mental illness but take medication that helps, so I think I didn’t have much mental side effects because of that. Reglan is known to cause tremors, shakes, etc. Especially with other certain meds."

"I took this drug to combat hyperemesis . Very severe vomiting and nausea during my second pregnancy. My doctors refused to give me anything to treat hyperemesis during my first pregnancy and they may have been right. I had such severe nausea and vomiting that I was sick all day every day and vomited at minimum 10x a day . So when I went to the ER and was given IV fluids , Zofran and a prescription for Reglan I thought it was a cure . Little did I know the toll it would take on my mental health, racing thoughts . I tried stopping Reglan one month after beginning it and was okay for a few days but the nausea came back with a vengeance . I started back taking it but just couldn’t shake the feeling of being unwell and depression. So I finally stopped taking it after about 4 months on the medication. It’s only been a few days but I’m depressed and still not feeling 100 percent. There is no winning if I don’t eat I hurt my baby and if I take this medicine I have another hurt"

"I’m pregnant and went to the ER for nausea they gave me fluids and then gave me Reglan in the IV i immediately felt an overwhelming feeling of anxiety a few minutes later I had them take the IV out I felt antsy and couldn’t sit still didn’t click that it was from the Reglan since I have a history of anxiety and don’t like fluids going in me. But 6 hours later I’m home anxious restless shaking foot and irritated so I googled the medicine and sure enough everyone here is having similar experience. Don’t recommend definite anxiety inducer, hope it goes away the reviews saying they still have it from 1 dose is scaring me.."
