I have had two AWFUL experiences with Reglan! First time, I was in the ER with high blood pressure and a very bad headache. To treat the headache, I was given a combo of Reglan IV and "unknown". Right away I started sweating and freaking out! The only thing i could focus on was leaving. I felt this overwhelming desire to pull out my own IV and go home! I was so tired but couldn't rest... my mind just raced with depressing thoughts. They discharged me in this state... I didn't argue... I couldn't get out fast enough. However, I hardly made it home. I can not believe I was allowed to drive home in such a state. Not knowing what meds caused me to have such a reaction... it happened again last week! I was in the Emergency Room having treatment for a spinal leak from a spinal tap a few days prior. I complained of back pain (no kidding) and was given meds in my IV. Same thing...all over again! This time my mother witnessed the horrible reaction. The nurse only gave me a cold towel for my head and it took 2 days to start feeling back to normal... NEVER will I have this medication again.

I had this exact feeling when given an IV with Reglan to stop severe vomiting! I tried to pull out my IV and made them release me early. I also had uncontrollable teeth grinding. The nurse told me I was having an "allergic reaction" and gave me Benedryl. The grinding came back once I was home and I had to return to the ER that night. For days afterward I couldn't stop moving my legs, was completely restless and couldn't sleep. Worst experience of my life.
