As a nursing mother, after three months of breastfeeding, my milk was decreasing. I was reluctant to take reglan, especially after picking up my prescription at the pharmacy and reading the side effects, I circled back to the drive through window and questioned the pharmacist as to whether I should really be taking it while breast-feeding. I also called and spoke with the nurse at my OB/GYN. Everyone continued telling me it was safe.I've taken reglan from 1 to 3 times a day for 3 months. I ended up taking it because I was convinced that the good trumped the bad since I would be able to feed my baby more of my milk. Anyway, yesterday, I found this site and now more than ever I know that I made the right decision to stop taking reglan immediately. My side-effects have included severe mood swings, depression, ,very negative thoughts, and anger. Reglan was the only drug that I was taking and l don't have a history of being angry or depressed. I'm looking forward to feeling like my normal self again and if I could turn back time, I would definitely breast feed my baby until my (natural) milk deminished and then use formula. That is my plan starting today. BREAST-FEEDING MOHTERS, FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH REGLAN, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT. Formula is better than the risk.

How are you doing now? I have a neice in this exact situation and she is going through severe depression, panic attacks and anxiety. She has been off Raglen for almost 2 weeks and is going through torture. I am hopeful it will end soon for her.

I'm doing great! After getting off Reglan my life and state of mind returned to normal again. Taking the Reglan was a horrible experience. Please let your neice know that it's the Reglan. I feel pretty confident about that.
