It really is surprising that this drug is used. I had an episode ...

My mom started Reglan in March of 08. They upped the dosage in September in the nursing facility she was in. She started to suffer from anxiety and they put her on meds for that and depression. She had terrible arm and leg tremors and started to chew on her tongue. She went down hill really fast and we did not know why. She had a seizure on Oct 24th. She never really woke up from the seizures. She opened her eyes a week later and could look at you but could not move or talk. She died on Nov 1st. I am convienced that a reaction to the Reglan killed her. She was under nursing care and they did nothing. Even when she started leaning to one side and had a stiff neck. They thought nothing was wrong.

I had my first experience with Reglan /benedryl combination this weekend. I had such a severe migraine I couldn't take the pain any longer. I tried to take Zomig which usually works wonders, but I kept vomiting. My daughter called our Dr and she told us to go to the ER. They warned me that I might feel like my heart is fluttering, tightness in my chest, and/or panic attack type symptoms when they inject me. I said I didn't care and just wanted to feel better. I didn't have any adverse symptoms. In about 5 minutes my eye felt better and much of the stabbing pain was gone, in 20 minutes I was left only with a mild headache on the left side of my head and a very dry mouth. They let me go home shortly there after. I took a Zomig went I got home and went to bed.Within 30 minutes the rest of the pain was completely gone and I slept great. I would do again if i were in pain.
