I was prescribed Reglan 3x/day for the specific purpose of increasing my breast milk supply after my twins came home from the hospital. Although I was already nervous and tired, it seems that after three weeks on this pill, this medication had aggravated my symptoms and had in fact made me very sick. I was experiencing episodes of severe panic, passing out, dizziness, blurred vision, "brain fog", general anxiety, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, as well as all of the listed side effects.
I was certainly not a person who suffered from these kind of symptoms prior to taking this medication, and although my doctor said it would be more likely that this was some kind of postpartum adjustment disorder, I did feel a gradual coming on and slacking off of the intensity of these symptoms around my building up and weening from the medicine. It is 2 months later and I still feel as though I am recovering.
Whatever I was going through, this medication should not have been given to me, or anyone who is in the postpartum time,as it AT LEAST aggravated my symptoms. I have read a lot from others who have posted stories of terrible long-lasting neurologiacal/mood disorders that they believe have been caused by Reglan. Also it seems that like me, these people have endured extended periods of suffering even after stopping use. I echo the sentiment of caution that has been expressed by others about using this drug. These side effects should be further investigated.
