User Reviews for Reglan oral

After vomiting everything I eat and drink for 8 weeks treats I was hospitalized and many tests were run. I was unable to get through the gastric emptying study because I could not keep the nuclear egg sandwich down. So they thought I might have gastroparesis and had me take this medicine one time. One time was all I could do because it instantly made it hard for me to breathe and gave me a horrific headache. I was extremely dizzy and confused. I will never take it again and they have put it on my allergy list.Read More Read Less

Only took this med for two days. At night had weird dreams,restlessness, could not sleep at all. Having suicidal thoughts, very paranoid. Couldn't wait for it to wear off. Had trembling and anxiety problems. Read reviews terrible drug not going to take it. This drug should come with a high warning and be banned.

I was prescribed to take three times a day for nausea and no motility for a Transthoracic Esophagectomy after Cancer. I take ONLY one 10mg dose a day as needed. Works great!

I have been taking Reglan 5mg, 4x daily, for about 1 and half year's. My doctor watches me very close. None of my other meds react with it. I'm on anti depressant, anxiety meds, nerve blockers, and bipolar meds. I was very aware of the bad side effects, but I have gastropresis and the pain was so bad I felt like I was dying. But with Reglan, and my other meds I'm finally feeling human. I do get tremors and I knew it could happen. But I'm living better on Reglan and having to take all the meds then I would have without it. Its a hard decision but I'm better off with it.Read More Read Less

I was having problems with reflux. I couldnâ??t sleep at night because of the burning in my throat. The doctor prescribed Reglan 4 x daily. Took it for 2 1/2 months. I noticed that I would start crying during tv shows, commercials, etc. my body felt shaky and tingly inside but there was no shakiness on the outside of my body. I couldnâ??t sleep and I didnâ??t care if I talked to anyone. All I wanted to do was stay by myself. I was taking care of my infant grandson, and after being on the Reglan for 2 months, I dreaded taking care of him. Before the meds, I was looked forward each day to taking care of him. I finally looked at the prescription information, and it said the medication could cause severe depression in women over 50. That was so true! This happened in the spring of 2009. Itâ??s been over 9 years now, and once in a while, Iâ??ll have that feeling like I was going to have a panic attack or a feeling of depression. This medication has been one of the worse medicines I have ever taken. I will NEVER take it again. In my opinion, it shouldnâ??t ever be prescribed. I talked to my OBY/GYN about what happened, and she was very adamant about me never taking it again. She said it could cause severe depression in women. She couldnâ??t believe my PCP had prescribed it for me.Read More Read Less

Do not use this drug in any form, I used the generic and had a year of my life stolen from me. Spent much of the time in deep depression, anxiety, shaking, facial grimace and had to go on two different meds to get me through this nightmare This drug is banned in Europe and Canada and should be taken off the market here in USA. I wrote FDA numerous times, no response, Black box warning now a little too late.

suicidal ideation,try like a hot knife to your brain. horrible, painful, terrifying. Paranoid ideation. I have a fast brain, just fill in what my life was like. lost one job, almost lost another. This drug should be your very last choice, it almost was mine. I told my doctor about it, he wrote in the soap notes "makes patient extremely tired". Did my first sentences relay that fact? I don't think so. Obfuscation is unseemly in a physician. I know there aren't many or any good choices but seriously, tell the poor guy who's nearly starving to death that this drug may very well push him over the edge. It nearly ended me, be very careful. Stomach motility eventually returned and I am starting to gain weight. The journey was dark and terrible. I am not sure I could do it again. As the drug leaves my system the ideations are gone and the lingering side effect is sleeplessness.Read More Read Less

I was very worried about the symptoms and or reactions it can cause. I have a great team of gastro doctors who are following my gastro paresis as it is pretty bad. This medication has helped tremendously and its been only 2 weeks.

I am on Oral Reglan 3x day - 5mg each time. I've been on the oral for roughly 4-6 weeks. I am suffering from severe muscle spasms in my right eye and my arms and legs are so spasmatic with muscle cramps and pain. I can't keep still, I fidget all the time and sleep - I can't get comfortable and toss and turn and flip all night long. I find myself just standing instead of sitting for long periods of time. I'm so jittery and hyped up from this med. I haven't felt like this ever and I am so miserable and in so much pain. I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone! Read More Read Less

I am a diabetic and have been having trouble with nausea and vomiting for more than a year, my stomach always feels full. I was started on this drug and finally in over a year, I can eat and not be full, no more nausea. I even know what its like to feel hungry again. My doctor recommend I stop it. I did and within 24 hours I was back to square one. I started taking it again and I feel great. Thank goodness for this pill.

I was given this by my doctor to help my milk supply and so fat it is great and I feel great and it's doing it's job.

I was given Reglan for my gastroparesis for over four years. This was years ago. Was not informed of the terrible side affects. Depression, anxiety, tremors, restlessness, you name it I had it. Doctors thought it was all psychological. After all of these years every once in a while the side affects show up. The doctors were not informed back then to slowly remove the medicine. Now I take Domperidone. Works wonderfully. Have been taking it for years. Why the FDA will not take Reglan off the market and approve Domperidone is beyond me. FYI - If you take Domperidone and are ever in the hospital for a period of time the hospital may not approve your use of Domperidone while in the hospital. I had complications after surgery. Suffered constantly with my gastroparesis. Read More Read Less

Horrible side effects. Parkinson's -type movements and tardive dyskinesia, as well as depression. We are told it will likely never resolve. Avoid this drug as possible.

Imust be allergic to it. I have the bulk of the sde effects, insomnia, agitation, dizziness, unsteady on my feet, difficulty speaking clearly, headaches, could not control mybladder (peed my pants), irritability. Nasty stuff for me.

After almost a year I was finally diagnosed w/severe gastropareses. I had terrible pain with the nausea & vomiting. After almost another year I foung a GI DR. who put me on reglan 5-10mg 3x daily and to heck with all the side effects, I can now get out & live again. Yes, it has made my Parkinson's worse, but so far I do not have tardive kinesha(?Spelling), but it would still be worth it since I had such a poor quality if life before. GO REGLAN!!! M.A.

PLEASE read the warnings of this drug. I can not proof it, but my 75 yr old Mom. Was put on this drug by hospice Dr. She had issues with acid relex and everything she ate burn. She was put in this drug. Took it 2 times 3rd morning my sweet Mom was out of her mind, could not stay still, trouble speaking, heart was racing. Time the hopsice nurse got to my home, my Mom had passed. Yes my Mom had cancer, but my was doing great and making plans for us to do things. Had started projects, that now I have to finish alone. Please people don't take the chance like I did. I regret everyday giving my Mom those doses. If I could just proof it, I would fight to save someone elses loved one and not let this happen again. This is the only way, by speaking out on here. Please! In my heart this med. is why I am facing my first hoildays without my Mom. Read More Read Less

Started taking for gastroparesis and GERD. Worked at first and I was feeling better, eating better - no more nausea after every meal, no more reflux. On the med for around 4 weeks, took it as directed, and then I started feeling overwhelming fatigue, lack of interest, lethargy. All I wanted to do was sleep all day and night, couldn't focus at work or complete any task, and my job has definitely suffered. In the last week I decided to wean myself off, taking every other dose, and then less. Now have stopped completely for 2 days - the nausea and GERD are back with a vengeance, but I don't feel so tired. I actually got out of the house today and felt like living again. I don't think this med was worth it, though it was nice to have some temporary relief from gastroparesis & GERD. I am fearful of the withdrawal, but the side effects were debilitating. I did not experience any twitching or anxiety, no suicidal thoughts. But my lethargy was slowly turning into depression and I hate to think of where that was headed.Read More Read Less

I guess I'm one of the few that has no side effects. I'm on 10 mg 4x a day and can't live w/ out it because all I do is throw up any food I try to eat!

Well, Reglan worked for me when I had gastroparesis, and the pain and nausea would stop when taking this medication, but it was NOT worth it. This drug caused legit TERROR to the point where I asked my parents to hide every sharp object in the house because I feared I might do something bad, had to have them sleep next to me, and would wake up screaming. I'd break down in the middle of work due to sheer FEAR. By week three, I had developed hand tremors and pulled myself off the drug. Not worth it.Read More Read Less

I take it for occasional dumping syndrome, a condition due to gastric bypass surgery. It quickly relieves nausea, sometimes severe, and prevents nausea if taken before ingesting sugar or fatty foo.
