My wife started taking Reglan last year one week before she committed suicide at the age of 57. She had never been diagnosed in her life as depressed, but obviously she was at the end. Two years previous she had a hysterectomy as part of treatment for uterin cancer. Five months previous to her suicide she got sick and after many weeks was diagnosed with acid reflux. She was given Nexium for this, but continued to suffer from the reflux. I believe somewhere in this time she became depressed though she continued to deny it right up to the day she took her own life. I really do not know if the Reglan or the Nexium was behind her suicide, but I believe it is quite possible. I should be mad as hell about this, but for now I just can not get beyond the grief. I am putting this out here just to say you may want to be very careful with Reglan!!!

Dear bobbycurtain,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your wife. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you are going through. I wanted to write to you to thank you for your posting. You are obviously a brave and caring person. Since my experience with Reglan this last Sunday, I am anxious to spread the word about how dangerous this drug can be. I believe that the sharing of our experiences is invaluable in helping others. May God bless you and hold you in the palm of His hand. And please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely,
myckstor54
