Reglan and anxiety attacks

At the age of 17 I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux. I was given a couple stomach medications, in which one of them was Reglan, for my nausea. I then began experiencing "severe" anxiety attacks and found myself very depressed. I was unable to be around people and sadly contiplated suicide several times, when oddly my life was great and pretty normal. I was sent to a therapist in which he also could not resolve the problem. I was put on anti-depressants which partially helped. When I experienced anxiety attacks I was force myself to sleep them off, causing myself a sleeping-disorder called insomnia. I also bagan to lactate milk, when I was not pregnant. I did not know that the Reglan WAS the cause of all my symptoms until the age of 23 when I was hospitalized. I had stopped taking all my medication for over three years and was doing very well. When I was in the ER a nurse seen that Reglan was on my chart and since I was experiencing nausea, she inserted the Relgan into my IV. Within 15 minutes I began to freak out, I was having an extreme anxiety attack. I was yelling I that I wanted go home. I felt like ripping my hair out. That was when another nurse (also a good friend of mine) seen me and said I was having a reaction to the Reglan. The doctor came in and explained that the Reglan was cause of my anxiety. After I calmed down hours later, I explained my passed symptoms and he said that all my symptoms where Reglan related side effects. I DO NOT RECOMMEND REGLAN!!! It's better to feel like or even to throw up, then to feel like taking your own life and not knowing why...

DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!!!!! I was given Reglan in IV, my life has never been the same. Anxiety attacks that have not stopped since, and it has been about 4months now. Every time I mention this to a doctor they shoot the issue down. Out side of the gallbladder issue that I went to the ER for I was before in good health, not since Reglan and the almost 2 hours of severe tremors through my whole body, after taking it.

This medication is dangerous and causes serious neurological complications. After taking a prescribed dose for 3 days, I have experienced numbness in most parts of my body including face, muscle stiffness, muscle jerking and intensive weakness. I have also experienced uncontrollable anxiety attacks marked with depression and anger. This is the worst medication I have ever taken and after having stopped taking the pilss for three weeks now, my life hasn't been the same. I've been in the emergency room 4 times and two out of the four times I had an ambulance ride there. It feels like your having a stroke and then the body function comes back after a few minutes of HELL. Please be careful with this medication...very dangerous. I lived a normal healthy life prior to taking this medication.

Have taken Reglan just for just one and a half weeks to help with my diabetes related gastroparesis. Since taking it I have been unable to read, play computer games or even concentrate on TV. I chucked it yesterday morning and already feeling a bit better. I am gonna try again maybe in a few days just to confirm that this drug is the cause, but it looks awfully coincidental. That's why I'm looking up side effects on the web today, gave them no thought until yesterday.

I went into the hopital for a bowel resection. They gave me Reglan after the surgery. Within in a day. I had strange feelings, restlessness, edgy and could not stop moving. I walked the hopital for hrs and hrs. One nurse said I was having anxiety attacks and gave me ativan. They released me after 9 days. I was back in another hospital that same night with a bowel obstruction. They pumped me with more reglan. I became very shakey and felt like I was going to fall apart. I stayed in that hospital for 19 days. When they released me I had to go back and see my original surgeon. I told her I thought the reglan was doing strange things to me. She just increased my ativan and told me I had to take it for at least 3 more mos or I could end up back in the hospital with another bowel obstruction. I started to have head shaking episodes about once a week but I still thought it was anxiety. Then after being off reglan for 1yr, I was still having attacks only every night. I saw a neurologist and she said I had permanent damage to my brain from taking Reglan and now I"m on Parkinsons medicine and ativan to try and control the symptons. I will never be the same and would not recommend this drug to anyone.
