I was 3 months pregnant with my second child. I had been throwing up every day (4-6x) since my first month of pregnancy. My OB said that it would pass and was not concerned. On night I just couldn't take it anymore and ended up in the ER. The doc started me on a IV to replace my fluids. She also added Reglan to it. About 2-3 minutes after they added it to my IV my whole body turned to ice. I was freezing. It felt like something was crawling under my skin. I started rubbing my arms like crazy telling my husband that I didn't feel good. My body felt like it was not my own. I was trying to get out of it!! The only way I can explain what happened next was I guess I had a panic attack. I started screaming "Get it out of me!!" I tried to rip out my IV and jumping off the table. I could not stop shaking and crying. I was perfectly fine (mentally) before they gave Reglan to me. Two security guards and 2 nurses + the doc came running in and attempted to hold me down (5'7 130lbs). They could barely hold me down before the doctor shot something into my IV. Within seconds it stopped and I felt 100% better. I asked what happened to me and the doctor said that "you had an adverse reaction". Ummm that is putting it mildly. I signed myself out after that. I have NEVER experienced anything like that in my life!! Needless to say I tell my doctors (OB+ GP) that I am allergic to Reglan!

My mom is experiencing the same symptoms. Will the symptoms disappear if she stops the medication. She has only taken it for 5 weeks
