Stiff jaw symptoms and conditions

My doctor prescribed Reglan to help increase my breast milk supply. After a few days I started getting a stiff jaw. After several hours it got so intense that I felt I needed to go to the doctors. I called my husband at work and asked if he could come home and take me to the doctors. He worked about 25 minutes away. By the time he got home I was screaming in pain - something I had never done in my life before. He took me straight to Urgent Care. I advised them that I thought I was having a reaction to the Reglan I had taken. By this time by jaw was spasming so bad that it felt like my jaw and teeth were going to shatter in my mouth. The doctor said Reglan would not do this and gave me a shot and said to go home and contact my Dentist. While I was waiting for the paperwork I started having problems breathing and swallowing. At this point Urgent Care discharged me and told me to go to ER. Once I was at ER and finally got seen I advised the doctor of my symptoms and that I thought it had to do with the Reglan. He actually listened to me and agreed that it was the Reglan and said he would administer a shot of Benadryl to counteract the effects of it. It took them over a hour from that point to get me the shot. It was the longest and most painful hour of my life. I was literally sat on a bed in a hallway at the ER screaming in pain. Within minutes of the Benadryl being administered I was feeling 100% better. I highly recommend seeking medical attention at the very first sign of any muscle spasms or involuntary movement while you are on this drug. Thank to you everyone else for sharing their experiences with us.

no negative side effects noted, baclofen helped avoid my usual painful and stiff jaw as result of dental work
