Reglan symptoms and conditions

It really is surprising that this drug is used. I had an episode when I was 18. My parents were out of town and I got a really bad migraine. I called them and they told me I should go to the emergency room. I went by myself and I don't remember what they gave me, but it must have been Reglan. With in minutes of the IV I got really nervous and agitated. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I buzzed the nurse button like 3 times and after 10 minutes and no one came I panicked. I pulled the IV out and left the hospital. Crazy I know but I couldn't think clearly. I went home and after a few hours I was okay.

Well this brings me to 9 years later and to my most recent experience. I am pregnant and I got a really nasty migraine. I was puking, couldn't see out of my right eye. Since there wasn't anything I could take I called my OB. He told me I should go to the ER and so I went with my husband. They said they wanted to give me Reglan and Benadryl, since I didn't know that was what they gave my when I was 18 I said okay. With in minutes I was having the same reaction I did 9 years ago. I went nuts. I started freaking out. I told my husband I wanted to leave. I needed the IV out of me. My skin was itchy and burning. I was nervous, shaking, and having a hard time breathing. When I husband got the nurse she was really condescending. She was like, “Do you have a history panic attacks?” I said, "no." Then she got the Dr., who ordered more Benadryl. After about 15 more minutes I calmed down. This was an extremely unpleasant experience; I will never take this medicine again.

I was put on birth control when I was 21 years old and I started with Estrostep FE for irregular and very painful periods. 9 years later, after complaining of unusually light periods and horrible hot flashes I was switched to Yasmin to see if that would make a difference. I was fine with the Yasmin for about 6 months but then I came down with what I thought might have been a stomach virus. I was fine until June of that year when I came down with what seemed to be another stomach virus. I found this odd as I had not had a stomach virus since I was eight years old, but I seemed to have contracted two within six months of each other 22 years later. By the time July hit, I was experiencing these "stomach viruses" just about every other day. I would have horrible acid indigestion and the sensation of needing to vomit (but I never would) which would send me running for the bathroom for hours at a time just in case I did. For over a year I sought the advice of doctors and had been theoretically diagnosed with the following: stress (always the first one), acid reflux disease, IBS, and gastroparesis. I have gone through an endoscopy, gastric emptying scan, colonoscopy, two ultrasounds, two CT scans and an MRI. Drug wise I have been put on Prevacid, Compazine, Zofran, Zegerid, Imipramine, Reglan, Levsid, and Erythromycin. I now am buried in medical bills and the whole thing has caused me to miss a month of work without pay. I also was struggling to eat and, at one point, had dropped 25 pounds which is very frightening for someone with my tiny frame. The mental anguish was unbearable and I was actually at the point of welcoming a diagnosis of cancer just because it would have been answer. The idea to stop taking the Yasmin actually came from a fifteen minute conversation during a birthday party with an obstetrician. Within two weeks of stopping I was absolutely fine. I gained all of the weight back in record time and am once again a person who rarely ever needs stomach aids (in three months I've only taken two tums). Stopping the Yasmin made absolute sense because the nausea episodes would only occur between 9am and 2pm (weird, just like morning sickness) and my thyroid levels were all over the place. One blood test would show them as normal and another would show them as sky-high. I questioned my ob-gyn why she said my blood tests were normal when my thyroid levels were actually twice the normal level. She merely shrugged it off as being "normal because of the Yasmin". No wonder I never felt well! I've been off Yasmin for three months now. I've only gotten one light period that lasted for three days. It was over a month ago and it took almost two months to happen after stopping the Yasmin. I don't know if I'm sterile because I have heard cases of girls becoming infertile after long-term use of the pill (any kind). I am definitely interested in joining a class action lawsuit because I don't feel I should be the one stuck with all of these bills. Has anything been officially started yet?

THIS IS A HORRIBLE DANGEROUS DRUG!!!!!
Doctors prescribed this to my mother for 5 years!!!! Because of it's devastating side effects it is FDA approved for short term 4-12 weeks and only as a last resort. And NEVER for Parkinson's patients. It is unclear if Reglan caused the Parkinson's like symptoms or if she had it prior. Either way the doctor was so wrong to prescribe this medication to her. She is completely disabled can't walk or even get out of a chair had a auto accident and falls one time a metal frame fell on her head causing a hospital visit another time she fell into cactus! I was horrified to learn that no one caught this error. Not one doctor or the drug store told my parents REGLAN could cause her to end up using a walker and unable to function even the simplest daily tasks and that these symptoms could be permanent.

I felt extremely hyper after receiving a dosage of Reglan. I was in the hospital after suffering a terrible bout of food poisoning and I became extremely nauseated. The physician gave me this medication in order to control the nausea. After about 10 minutes, I felt worse than before going to the hospital. I felt extremely hyper and could not sit still. I felt extremely terrified and did not know why...I felt like I wanted to take off running and throw myself in front of the nearest car or jump from the roof of a building. I started crying uncontrollably. I told my doctor how I felt and she stated "some people experience this feeling...about 1 in 1000 people". I began to wonder why such a drug was on the market if this is what happens. I'm wondering how many people have felt similar and actually acted on their feelings.

The scary thing is this...I believe the estimate of 1 in 1000 people suffering side effects is wrong. While at the hospital a nurse told me there was another patient who experienced the very same experiences on the morning my dosage was injected.

I have never felt so awful in my life and I'm hoping there will be a class action lawsuit for this drug.

My wife started taking Reglan last year one week before she committed suicide at the age of 57. She had never been diagnosed in her life as depressed, but obviously she was at the end. Two years previous she had a hysterectomy as part of treatment for uterin cancer. Five months previous to her suicide she got sick and after many weeks was diagnosed with acid reflux. She was given Nexium for this, but continued to suffer from the reflux. I believe somewhere in this time she became depressed though she continued to deny it right up to the day she took her own life. I really do not know if the Reglan or the Nexium was behind her suicide, but I believe it is quite possible. I should be mad as hell about this, but for now I just can not get beyond the grief. I am putting this out here just to say you may want to be very careful with Reglan!!!

My doctor wants to give me Yasmin due to bad pms every month. I am already on meds for mood disorder but they don't seem to budge the monthly aggravation and agitation I suffer. I am 43 and do not need a BC pill as I had my tubes done a few years back but he feels this may be the answer for the pms. I had an oblation procedure done last year and only have a 3-4 day mild period anyway. Is anyone else in this situation? Should I take this pill ?

I just came out of the ER 3 days ago and I believe that my side effects are from the Reglan that was given through the IV for nausea that I was experiencing. I was very tired when I came home and very dizzy. This was on a Tuesday. The next day (Wed.) I could not get out of bed because I was still very dizzy. I spent the entire day in bed sleeping. When I tried to walk I felt like I was walking sideways. On Thursday I was feeling a bit better and not dizzy anymore but very tired. I also have been having panic attack symptoms that just will not go away. I tried to drive my car and could not do it. My arms also feel very heavy and weak. Today is Friday and I am able to drive my car, but I still feel weak and tired. My arms are also still tingly and heavy. I am also still experiencing panic attack symptoms which are driving me crazy. I can not wait until I feel normal again because I did not have any of these symptoms when I went into the ER, so I truly believe the medicine is causing this. I will write back and update - hopefully I am back to normal again.

I was given Reglan in an IV early in my pregnancy for constant vomiting and dehydration. I was told it was the safest anti-nausea drug during pregnancy. As soon as the IV went in my arm I experienced anxiety and panic. By day three on this drug, I was in a severe panic attack with severe depression and thoughts of suicide. I have no history of mental illness. I went to the ER for help to talk with a counselor or psychiatrist. I can remember crying violently and saying that I was going to die. The ER doctor had me committed to a locked ward for the suicidal. I was kept there for 12 hours and released once the doctor at this facility was told by myself that I had no history of these feelings. She said that it was a side effect from the Reglan. This drug has caused me to still have a low grade depression. I have two kids and one on the way. I blame this drug for altering the quality of my life and my family's lives. If anyone knows a lawyer that deals with Reglan cases, let me know. I'd like to fight this. I can't believe this drug is still on the market.

My husband and I found out he had Meatastic prostate cancer 13 months ago..We went to the doctor because his lymph glands were hudge.. He has been on the Lupron injections ever since.. He had really bad hot flashes for the 1st few months but that has past, but now he is very moody and angry for no reason.. He yells and gets angry over the littlest things i think he is going crazy and he is driving me nuts, he has no desire for me and is rude and acts like he don't even like me sometimes.. it is torture to me..He has depression he doesn't enjoy anything like he use to.. whenever we go try to have fun he gets all stressed and makes the fun turn into miserable..He acts as if he has no problems..He has some big rashes on his legs and crack and I am pretty sure it is from the Lupron shot also.. he has a little aches and pains. Very tired all the time..just about a week ago we found out the Lupron shot is not working very well anymore, his psa level went up to a 15..I am thankful for the shot because i know it has saved him some time to be here.. I love him so much, but the way he is now has caused me to feel like he is a grouchy roommate on his period 24/7.. There is other things like casodex to take but i heard it does not work as well as the Lupron..Hopefully one of these days they can find something that works even better then Lupron without the side affects..The lupron Shot has helped many people live longer, but what about the quality of life he is miserable but I am sure he rather be alive and miserable.. Good luck to everyone with the Lupron shot, it is a trying time when they or you go through these changes and do not understand why you feel negative and unhappy..

I was given Compazine at the local emergency room for a migraine. Never again. I now put Compazine and Reglan on my list of allergies. After given Compazine iv I immediately began to get anxious and want to rip out my iv and leave. I called the nurse in and told her to take out the iv and that I was leaving. I just could not stand it. I remembered I was given Reglan at one time and had the same reaction. I felt these effects from 7pm to 8pm then next day. I could not sleep and finally I took some Benadryl to help me sleep. I strongly advise anyone to think twice before receiving this med.

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!!!!! I was given Reglan in IV, my life has never been the same. Anxiety attacks that have not stopped since, and it has been about 4months now. Every time I mention this to a doctor they shoot the issue down. Out side of the gallbladder issue that I went to the ER for I was before in good health, not since Reglan and the almost 2 hours of severe tremors through my whole body, after taking it.

My little boy who is now 4 has been off the Reglan for two years. I really thought my husband and I were doing the right thing by putting him on the Reglan at 8 months because he was vomitting blood. The gastric doctor said he had to be on it plus prevacid .Well I WISH WE HAD KNOWN THE SIDE EFFECTS. Now my son is in the process of going to a Neurologist next week because they think he might have Tardive Dyskinesia . He has the symptoms of it on and off for a year now and the doctors have said it is from stress not possible because all of the stress therapist we have taken him to say he is not stressed. I would like to say one thing do not put your child on this drug because it could be the biggest mistake of your life . This is a disease that can not be curred.

Have taken Reglan just for just one and a half weeks to help with my diabetes related gastroparesis. Since taking it I have been unable to read, play computer games or even concentrate on TV. I chucked it yesterday morning and already feeling a bit better. I am gonna try again maybe in a few days just to confirm that this drug is the cause, but it looks awfully coincidental. That's why I'm looking up side effects on the web today, gave them no thought until yesterday.

I have had constant problems with my throat/tracheal area ever since using Advair over 9 months ago.

Symptoms began the first week of using Advair: Symptoms included loss of voice, thick phlegm, loss of gag reflex and itching/pulling at the back of the throat.

(AdVair usage was for 2 months only while it felt like all it did was collapse my lungs and make me unable to breathe more and more)

Symptoms for 2 months later included: Thick yellow/green or red/brown phlegm, constant rippig feeling at the back of my throat, supposed Sinusitis/Post-Nasal Drip, dryness of the mouth and constant loss of gag reflex (while pushing the back of my throat would help relieve the aching and pain)

Symptoms from months 3-9/Present: Pulling, pushing sensation at the back of the throat, terrible acidic taste in the morning as well as the taste of food during the day, constant popping & gurgling of the esophagus, uncontrollable burping, pain on the sides as well as the tops of the areas near my lungs, constant trouble breathing, dryness of the throat (warm water feels good for this-cold water only makes it worse), constant scratching/painful feeling on the back of the throat, a barbed wire feeling at the back of my mouth and Severe trouble sleeping.

Tests have included: Barium swallow, upper esophageal testing, the regular scope, the looking at my vocal cords and beginning of trachea through my nose, Bravo pH Test, CAT scan, 2 X-Rays, Prilosec, Zegerid, Levaquin, Mucinex, Moxomicillan, muscle relaxant and finally Reglan.

Ruled out diseases include: GERD, Post-Nasal Drip, Sinusitis and basically all other diseases of the esophagus.

Current diagnosis from around 7 different doctors: Unknown, try to take the Reglan and wash the back of your throat with Listerine.

What should I do? It's been 9-10 months now and no doctor knows what this is -- I will be posting this on any Advair side effects as well as Trachea/Esophageal site -- email is MistaLM@gmail.com, if anyone else has had the same side effects or for lawyer inquiries.

I am taking reglan at this time and I am very concerned.....I am afraid that I may be having some of these side effects, I have fatigue, and I am sleepy and tired all the time. I have gastroparesis and they are giving me this to help keep my stomach moving. Before the Reglan I could not keep anything down all I did was vomit, I could not even keep down fluids.........I find this freightening because there is just nothing else out there to use to treat gastroparesis so I am looking at this for a long time treatment. I have to take 10mg four time a day. My doctor is just a regard doctor. But, I do have an appointment with a doctor at Ohio State University and I am going to asking him about other options especially after reading these postings anyone with any other options please let me know!

just got back from the ER...Sulfameth for 3 days now...totals 6 pills...can't sleep, nervous, dry mouth/white coated tongue, muscle cramps, nausea, general sick feeling...also was taking Buspar (anxiety) and Aciphex (heartburn), and also Reglan (anti-nausea)...made a major mistake by downing some sleeping pills (Walmart brand and a Nytol)...haven't slept more than 15 minutes in 3 days...right now, I'm "clean" for almost 24 hours...smoked a cigarette, having a beer and calling it a day (or three)...I'd recommend you SERIOUSLY talk to your doc about alternatives to this one...hadn't had any problems before taking it...already feeling better...have been drinking water all day to flush this stuff out...

This is the experience my 9 year old son, who has a developmental disability similar to autism, has experienced:

His symptoms began when we STOPPED Reglan
Teachers thought he was having seizures
Uncontrollable head and facial movements
Tongue rolling and protruding
Extreme restlessness
Slurred speech

Wow!!! I was on Advair for 6 days when I got what I thought was indigestion that would not go away but it was in my throat. I mentioned to the doc that I was fine before the Advair and medrol pack (asthma attack) but was given Reglan and told to take Pepcid twice a day and sent for an upper GI series. The GI series was fine. I slept upright, stopped the coffee, soda, tomato products, downed Tums and Mylanta but nothing helped. Stopped the Advair and saw the doctor the next day. Again told the doc I was fine before the Advair, on Advair for 2 weeks and my throat was checked this time. White blisters!! On Nystatin and now lozenges. My throat stills feels horrible after a week on these meds. Added Acidophilus, Garlic pills, CoQ10 and waiting to feel better. NEVER, NEVER take Advair.
