DO NOT take this medicine!! I watched this medicine slowly take my mother away from me. She was on it for 7 months and only off of it for 2 weeks until she finally commited suicide. Yes, she killed herself from this medicine. This medication NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF OF THE MARKET!! She had anxiety, depression, confusion, muscle ticks, suicidal thoughts, no appetite, constant diarrhea and lost down to...

I’m not an anxious person, but this medication made me have terrible anxiety and dread. I wanted to jump out of my skin. It was scary!

DO NOT ever take this medication! It caused akathisia and anxiety, crying, depression and confusion. And future sensitivity to other medications. Severe reaction that lasted over two years to blood thinners, after Reglan. BAD, BAD, BAD…

If you already have anxiety, DO NOT TAKE THIS! OBGyn prescribed this due to GI issues and severe nausea. Started to take the medication as advised. I couldn't sleep at night, was restless, pacing in my house, feeling of dread and doom. I couldn't even say what I was scared of. After 3 days of taking it, I had the worst mental breakdown, I thought I was going crazy. Couldn't stop crying, moving and thought I was going to die. I begged my husband to admit me to a mental health facility. This was a 3 h panic attack. I have never experienced anything like this in my life! After I stopped taking it the symptoms went away.Read More Read Less

I was given this as a “cocktail” in the ER with Pepcid. This medication make me feel WEIRD!!!! It worked but it made me feel so strange, almost like I was having a panic attack. My heart raced, I was restless, and I felt completely out of it!! The psychologist side effects would NEVER be worth the redlined!!

I was prescribed this by my OB to help with lactation, for me it helped BUT I will NEVER take this again (only took it for a day yesterday and I’m sure it’s a low dose). I was told it’s used for GERD, I have bipolar II disorder so I’ve experienced that spectrum of medications, this medication was very intense. Today I woke up extremely groggy and out of it, I took a nap and had a suicidal dream of jumping off a bridge (have never had a suicidal dream before), my mood is extremely low and I’m very irritated which is unlike me. I read more about it and this medication was historically used as an antipsychotic but is now used for gastro/esophageal use, it affects your brain chemistry. I’ve taken mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressant, and anxiety medications for trial and error but none of them made me feel like this one, I’m not one to leave reviews but I believe everyone on here saying it made them or a loved one suicidal is telling the truth and not being dramatic.

I went in to Emergency Room for a migraine and nausea. Long story short I was given fluids and was doing ok until the nurse put Reglan in. I thought, "ok, it must help." I used to drink and know what a buzz feels like which is what I would describe as the first feeling which didn't bother me and then from there until it finally started gradually wearing off (which I could not tell when it started wearing off), the only way I can describe my physical/mental state was as if I was being hit with a bunch of G's at once, heart rate skyrocketed, panicky feeling and a lot of ticklish feeling in my chest area. I do not know how to fully describe it but it felt like absolute dread in my body and it was all I could do to get myself through however long it lasted. The nurses/doctor said some have good reactions and some people, not so much. I definitely did not react well and will be putting that on my chart to NEVER GIVE ME AGAIN along with writing this review to warn anyone else about it. It was like trying a street drug, experiencing horrible, terrifying effects and then just having to wait it out. My mom said it scared her seeing me like that and witnessed my blood pressure at a Tachycardia rate. I have had my share of bad experiences in life and this is right up there at the top. I do not know how this drug is EVEN AVAILABLE to be able to give people or have ANY GOOD use.Read More Read Less

I have been on this for 2 months at 10mg, 4x/day. I take it 30 mins before each meal and at bed time. I had severe nausea that prevented me from eating and my dr assumed it was gastroparesis. I also had onset of dysautonomia post-covid 3 months ago at the same time my severe nausea/gastroparesis? started. I was also on zofran for nausea. After about a month, my nausea was better controlled and I could start to eat some solids. I don't know why the reglan would take that long to work, if it was actually working. I still live off nutrition shakes, toast, canned fruit, cottage cheese, and yogurt. So, I don't know if the reglan is actually working for me or not. I did get drowsy after taking it, but that seems to be the only side effect so far, and that had gone away after a couple weeks of taking it. It doesn't completely prevent acid reflux, either. I think I will tell my doctor I'm going to wean off at the 12 week mark and see how I do. I started Remeron for anxiety and appetite stimulation at the same time as the Reglan. I still don't feel hunger. I eat on a schedule to make sure I get enough calories to maintain my weight. I lost a lot of weight from not being able to eat in the first month of my illness. I also have ongoing constipation and the reglan doesn't seem to help with that. I have to take milk of magnesia. I have an EGD scheduled next month, so we'll see what that shows.Read More Read Less

Was given this as a cocktail to help with pain (morphine) and nausea (Reglan). Within seconds, I felt strange. Heart was racing and it was like a huge dark cloud came over me and I HAD to get to my car to run it off a bridge! That’s what my mind told me to do!! Took off my BP cuff, and went running to the hospital exit! Luckily my mom was on the phone with me and was yelling to the nurses that I was having an allergic reaction! They stopped me from leaving and gave me Benadryl. I’ll NEVER take that medicine again. Read More Read Less

I was given this drug in college for severe GERD that wasn’t resolved with other medications. After my second dose, I started experiencing uncontrollable movements of my jaw and tongue - it was terrifying. I eventually just bit down on some clothing and tried to sleep and it had gotten better by the morning. I later learned that this is a dangerous side effect called tardive dyskinesia. Supposedly it is a rare side effect, but researching on the internet says that it may happen in 10% of cases, and can even be permanent with long term use! Never use this medicine long term. This is a serious medication, it didn’t help with my heartburn at all, and I would caution anyone who is thinking of trying it. They didn’t even tell me this could happen before I took it. Best of luck to you all in figuring out how to care for your bodies.Read More Read Less

Administered via IV at hospital for nausea. I experienced immediate hell: akathisia. I wanted to rip the IV from my arm and run. It was one of the worst experiences, ever. This should be banned or at least, used as a last resort.

If you have POTS, do not take this! It affects your nervous system and made my heart race so bad i though I was going to die, I met a nurse who said the same thing happened to her daughter with POTS. It was scary and I am a bit traumatized from it. Please be careful.

I had a migraine that lasted for two weeks so I went to the ER where they gave me a headache cocktail of torridol, Benadryl, and reglan. They gave me the drugs via IV. As soon as they hit I felt like my skin was crawling. My heart started racing and I was so uncomfortable I couldn’t stop moving my legs and had to take my mask off to gasp for air. They said I would need someone to pick me up because the Benadryl would make me drowsy. Ha! I literally couldn’t get out of the ER faster and drove home in a full-on panic like I had just taken PCP. I didn’t sleep a wink that night with my heart beating out of my chest and I was in a cold sweat. When the ER nurse called to check on me a few days later I told her about my terrifying ordeal and she mentioned many people have that same reaction and she didn’t know why reglan was being given because it’s an older medicine. If you have panic or anxiety like me be careful with this medicine. Take a small dose and quit if you have any anxious reactions at all since it doesn’t get better. Read More Read Less

This is a terrible drug. I was given a dose when I went to the hospital with a multiple day old headache. About 10 minutes after the dose, I felt like I was dying. Nothing was wrong, but it felt like the world was ending. I heard loud ringing that felt like it was shaking the building, I couldn't catch my breath, I got severe tunnel vision, and started to lose control of my muscles. At 15 minutes, I had no control at all. I was unable to speak, think, move, and was almost blind. At 20 minutes, the convulsions started. Every muscle in my body began contracting at once. I came close to breaking a hospital bed from thrashing that day. To this day, I still have fits of the same symptoms out of the blue. This drug ruined my life. I would reccomend that anyone stay clear of this drug, so you don't have to live my experience. Read More Read Less

I have never taken this drug but please read on. Eight months ago, while taking Cymbalta, I got a feeling of nausea that would not go away. I eventually stopped the Cymbalta but the nausea continued. Eventually it was 24/7. Doctors blamed it on anxiety and stomach acid. My dentist and my gastroenterologist confirmed I had a stomach acid problem. So for the next several months I was prescribed high dosages of H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors. I only got worse. I now had stomach cramps in addition to my chronic nausea. Searching the internet, I discovered I had functional dyspepsia (i.e., indigestion that doesn't respond to normal treatments). I learned that that the drug of last choice (due to possible serious side effects) was this drug, Reglan. But I also learned that the anti-depressant Amitriptyline was often helpful at low dosages. (google functional dyspepsia and amitriptyline). I started 10 mg and worked up to 30 mg over a week. The nausea feeling changed to a lump in my throat feeling and the stomach pains vanished. I had the dosage increased to 75 mg but that caused really bad constipation, so I backed down to 50 mg. At this time, I no longer take antacid medication but I am almost symptom free. I have no stomach pain, no constipation, no lump in the throat, and only an occasional light nausea feeling that doesn't last all day. So, my advice to anyone considering Reglan is to first try Amitriptyline. It is much safer. It can help even if you are not suffering from anxiety or depression.Read More Read Less

This is the most horrendous drug Iâ??ve ever had in my body. I went to the ER 3 nights ago for a debilitating migraine and received the â??headache cocktailâ? injections, one of which was Reglan. I was completely out of it from the other two medicines they gave me, so my symptoms presented the next morning. Muscle issues in my jaw and limbs, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, shaking and twitching, internal tremors, the worst is the major state of panic Iâ??ve been in for 3 days now. If Iâ??m not having a complete meltdown, Iâ??m in the verge of a panic attack while my heart beats out of my chest. I feel trapped in my body and have to urge to just scream for hours. My doctor told me today to keep taking diphenhydramine to counteract the Reglan until itâ??s effects are gone in another day or two so thatâ??s my only option unfortunately. This drug should not exist and the â??rareâ? side effects seem anything but rare after looking into user reviews. Itâ??s a dopamine antagonist and is a danger to people. If you must take it, please be so very cautious and take the warnings with careful consideration. Especially if you have any existing anxiety or depression. I was desperate at the ER and didn't even question the drugs I was receiving. I will never do that again. And I will NEVER take this medication for as long as I live. I wouldnâ??t wish it on my worst enemy!Read More Read Less
