Reglan and vomiting

I had an agonizing migraine this Saturday, with all the usual delightful symptoms: pain, violent vomiting,... Went to the ER. After many hours I was hooked up to an IV with Tegretol (an anti-seizure med that's effective with migraine) and Reglan (for the nausea). Within a couple of minutes after the IV drip started I realized something was wrong. My migraine pain was actually increasing. I felt a desperate sense of being connected to this IV that was feeding me drugs whose effects were suddenly unexpected. Then things spiraled from there. I went into a panic. This sense of panic was unlike anything I have ever experienced in my life (and I've had my share of hospital horrors). I thought my heart was going to explode. Luckily my friend was next to me. I told him to get a nurse. I told the nurse frantically that I didn't know what was happening to me, I was freaking out, but I begged him to do something. He said I was probably having an "anxiety attack", which can happen with Reglan ("anxiety" sounds like a euphemism for what I was living through, but whatever...). He moved quickly, and hooked up some Benadryl to the IV. I also asked him to get me out of the dark, airless room I was in, as I felt like I was going to choke from the claustrophobia. Between the Benadryl (which apparently counters the panic effects of a Reglan reaction) and standing out in a spacious, well-lit hallway, I felt a couple of degrees removed from hell. Anyhow, there's my Reglan tale. R.M., Newton, MA

i was prescribed the reglan injections when i was expecting my baby bec i had severe vomiting and nausia. I was on it for about 3 months. It did not help! but the dr insisted that i continue taking it. I ended up giving birth to a child with NON genetic disablilities: Severe club foot, extremely weak muscles, dislocated hips and knees. Besides all that he has issues with his brain.. cannot TALK and probably never will. I strongly belive it was from the Reglan!!! DO NOT RECOMEND TO PREGNANT WOMEN!!! I would rather have vomited and had the nausia. the poor child is suffering so much!!! not worth it at all!

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!

I have been give reglan for the treatment of gastroparesis which is to help my stomach empty I have had diarrhea and I just need some people to please email me as to what I should be looking for with this drug. My first doctor would not put me on it because I suffer with depression but after a couple stays in the hospital another doctor did put me on it so after reading and trying to find what to expect I am just not sure. I have to take the medicine of I have nausa and vomiting all the time what othe choices are there?

The first time I recieved reglan i had a migrane. I didn't know it at the time but the drug made me restless then I passed out in the ER. The second time was when i had surgery. I was fine before the medication but as soon as i got the injection I became agitated, restless, and could not stop moving (rocking back and fourth, and wiggling my toes), then i procedded to vomit throughout the surgical procedure. The third time i got it (after telling the anathesiologist that I had an allergy to Reglan) was when I had a C-section. I vomited uncontrollably throughout the birth of my son, became agitated, and passed out again!!

i was prescribed this drug at three weeks pregnant by a doctor at my local hospital and it made me vomit more i were told that it would calm the vomiting down and make me feel better as i continued taking the drug i got ill so i stop the medication and notified my doctor i were sent for a scan and the medications had aborted my child and the baby i were carring is dead i started to miscarry the baby and i gave birth in july 2005 and i am now waiting to see a doctor for a aplology and waiting funeral arrangements and i cant understand why they didnt know this

was given reglan in the er for nausea and vomiting..once they injected into my iv it made me vomit for 20 minutes straight then i had to have a tube run down my throat to stop the vomiting was the worst experience of my life i do not recommend reglan to anyone..
