I was prescribed Reglan on & off many times for various GI reasons & God only knows how many times I was exposed to it in the hospital for bouts of vomiting (one of which lasted 6 months straight) & for my 5 major abdominal surgeries to prevent post op vomiting. It was originally designed in the early 1980's as an antipyschotic & I now have permanent brain/nerve damage that has turned my world completely upside down. It will be with me for the rest of my life & at this point there is no known treatment other than to put me on another antipyschotic that will mask/hide some of the symptoms but will leave my once genious IQ even duller. To this I say NO THANKS - Reglan has done enough damage by itself. I spoke with one of the manufacturers of Reglan & they admitted that a third of all people exposed to Reglan (especially for periods of over 3 to 4 months will end up like me with Tardive Dyskinesia - & Reglan has an accumulative effect on the brain/nervous system). It is an EXTREMELY dangerous drug & desperately needs to be shut down!!! I am SO sorry for your experience - I still have bouts of wanting to kill myself - a side effect of Reglan - but I will not end my own life - only God has that right. Also beware of Compazine & Phenergan as they can have the same effect. God Bless!!!
