reglan ruined my life


I was prescribed Reglan back in November of 2010.

Gave me Reglan by IV, and withing about 5 minutes I was ready to rip everything out as I couldnt stand still and was sweating like a pig.

I called for the nurse and doctor...fortunately the doctor was well educated and informed me it was the reglan causing my symptoms and rushed the nurse to give me what i believe was cogentin IV which calmed me down and i FINALLY felt better. I felt like I was losing my mind. Maybe it was given too fast and I should have been given Benadryl beforehand. I only had this medication once. After returning from the restroom, it took what seemed to be an eternity for the doctor to come back to the room with a diagnosis and for me to be discharged.

I was crying and crying because I felt like I couldn't do it anymore when I started feeling better. Neither Everyday Health nor its licensors endorse drugs, diagnose patients or recommend therapy. No matter how hard that is, you MUST do it. I felt like I was going to die at any second. I thank you so much as in my opinion, you have saved me.

This drug is no joke, PLEASE do your research before taking.


I did not think I would ever get better.

When I first received Reglan I read these reviews over and over again, crying in complete desperation for one with a positive ending. The doctors said that his food wasn't digesting quick enough and the Reglan would help. I prayed as much as possible. I tell my boyfriend to go get a nurse and they come in and don’t really do anything about it besides putting a heart monitor on me. I called the doctor crying because i thought i was gonna die , he told me to take 50 mg of benadryl to calm it down . This drug is a life saver for me. That was the scariest thing I have ever experienced before."

I don't know what that hospital did but he's so unwell. I literally felt as if I needed him to remove them incase I did something I could not control, because I had none. The only thing that I remember is the nurse coming in with "something for nausea" and lying there unable to move. On the second day I started to get this intense feeling that I had to leave the hospital, I was anxious and just asking to be taken home. I still have other symptoms from what is still wrong otherwise with my health, but the ones very clearly caused by Reglan are fading. I just knew I was going to die. I started to get freezing cold and my hands and feet were doing weird contortions. Little did I know this very next few moments would change my life. I could not eat ANYTHING for weeks following. I was absolutely terrified. One particular night I had a great Sunday, went to church morning and night, lead praise and worship both services, cooked tacos, and after my fiancé went to sleep I lost it. I remember coming home and just crashing on the couch. Does anyone know how long my son will feel like this?I have been on 2 pills a day for 2 weeks.

I felt like the world was watching me and very anxious and confused .

I thought I was losing my mind. The nurses and doctor came in and checked my pulse: 180 BPM. Neither Everyday Health nor its licensor assume any responsibility for any aspect of healthcare administered with the aid of the information provided. Worked fine helping food stay down for the most part. Cerner Multum™ provides the data within some of the Basics, Side Effects, Interactions, and Dosage tabs. I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm and go home. I since have taken it to a prescription dump sight. Gave more more Benedtryl and then said nonchalantly "the last three patients I've given this to have had a similar reaction". The doctor said that reglan should calm me down & my pain.

The on call doctor gave me an ansiolitic and I was taken home where I could finally sleep.

I only took one dose though as it instantly made me sick. "Mind over matter." Went to the hospital for the 4th time to get iv fluids and was also given Reglan through IV. I panicked so bad!! Within 2 days of taking the pills, I became extremely anxious and depressed. I experienced the utmost extreme level of anxiety I believe possible (almost PTSD level) which over a few days turned to severe depression. Terrible drugAbsolutely horribly experiance. Panic. (Also wanted to add I had a very similar experience with compazine mixed with Benadryl and will also never take that medication again).Drugs A-Z provides drug information from Everyday Health and our partners, as well as ratings from our members, all in one place.
I was given Reglan (mmetoclopramide) — along with Benadryl and Toradol (ketorolac) — as part of the migraine cocktail via an IV.

I thank god my boyfriend was with me because I do not know what I would have done if alone.
