Reglan and ativan

Last night I went to ER because I had food stuck in my throat. They gave me Reglan to help and immediately after the injection I became very restless, anxious, and highly agitated. I can honestly say it took all my self control not to completely loose it. My husband was actually scared that I was going to do something to hurt myself or someone else. I wanted to rip out my IV and run out of there. I kept obsessively saying for him to take me home. That medicine was without a doubt the worst thing I have ever felt. I have been through a lot and have had more than my share of medications and surgeries but, this is at the top of my never to do list again. I had to have an injection of Ativan to calm me down. I was pacing and then I would sit for a few seconds and then I would get up again. Not fun. I hope that no one has to go through this ever. I can completely relate with the person who said they felt like they were coming out of there skin. I hope the FDA takes this off the shelf. Not a good drug IMHO.

Can anyone help me? My doctors and pharmacists can't seem to help. A GI doctor perscribed Reglan for my IBS/Constipation and after five weeks I started getting anxiety and depression. As the weeks went by it got more intense until I couldn't even drive, enjoy my usual activities or relate to my family. I have a history of moderate anxiety and the doctor never mentioned that as a side effect so it took me a while to finally search the medication with anxiety and depression and I came up with numerous people who had the same exact symptoms as me. I stopped taking it right away and in a couple of days I had such severe anxiety, panic and depression I had thoughts of suicide. It's been two weeks and I'm still suffering. My doctors and pharmacist all deny it's the Reglan. They say it's my old anxiety disorder but I was never like this! They want to give me more meds. I don't want to take anymore chemicals, I'm afraid of all the side effects! Does anyone know if these side effects will go away and when? Please.

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.
