I was perscribed Reglan to counteract stomach discomfort while taking a strong third course of antibiotics for a persistant sinus infection. I generally felt fine before taking Reglan, exept for the general sinus infection symptoms. So, after taking the dose of Reglan, I went to the store to do some shopping. While walking down the aisle, my eyes rolled up inside my head. I though I was going nuts and could not understand why I could not look down - kept trying with all my might to move my eyes down, but they wouldn't. I carefully drove home (very nearby) and went to bed - it was VERY painful, as my eyes went all the way up and I could no longer see. 4 hours later, I was fine, but hadn't realized that the Reglan was the cause until I took the second dose and went through another 4 hours of hell. A neurologist has since told me not to take compazine either, since people who have this severe of a reaction to Reglan may have it with compazine, too. Another note - Went to the ER recently with severe abdominal pain (turned out to be due to Vioxx!), and noted in the chart that I was allergic to Reglan. Once in an ER bed, a nurse came at me with a needle. I asked what it was, she said, "Just something to help with your tummy". I asked more stongly again what it was, and she said Reglan. I told her to check my chart first - I'm allergic. ** If you are somseone with allergies or reaction to meds - ALWAYS ASK WHAT YOU ARE BEING GIVEN, or make sure someone is with you who can!! ** I can't imagine what would've happened if I had let her give me that shot...
