Reglan and blood pressure

I have been on reglan twice and both times I was on it I became so agitated that I couldn't lay down, my face got all red and my blood pressure went sky high. The second time I had it was just before surgery and when my grandma went to tell the nurse she said that I was just nervous about the surgery. I was so agitated that I couldn't even lay down as I was being wheeled into surgery. Afterwords I told my doctor what happened and he told me to make sure that I don't take it ever again and that I indeed have a reaction to it.

i was in the ER for what we thought was appendicitis. They hooked me up to the IV and within 2 minutes of the Reglan going into my body I started having a feeling of panic and terror I've never felt before in my life. I quick called my husband on the cell saying he need to come get me NOW! and I was so close to ripping the IV out of my arm, they had this blood pressure thing on my finger and the feeling of clautrophobia I had just from that and the IV being attached t ome was the most overwhelming paniced feeling I ever felt. Then, my whole body started uncontrollably convulsing. You can imagine how scary this was for both me and my husband, neither of us understood what was going on. The nurse gave me benadryl and the effects starting going away after about 10 minutes, at that point, my sanity started coming back and i literally could not stop smiling due to the relief I felt just coming back to normal. I still have panic feelings thinking back and remembering the experience. i can truly say it was horrific.

I was prescribed Reglan 3x/day for the specific purpose of increasing my breast milk supply after my twins came home from the hospital. Although I was already nervous and tired, it seems that after three weeks on this pill, this medication had aggravated my symptoms and had in fact made me very sick. I was experiencing episodes of severe panic, passing out, dizziness, blurred vision, "brain fog", general anxiety, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, as well as all of the listed side effects.

I was certainly not a person who suffered from these kind of symptoms prior to taking this medication, and although my doctor said it would be more likely that this was some kind of postpartum adjustment disorder, I did feel a gradual coming on and slacking off of the intensity of these symptoms around my building up and weening from the medicine. It is 2 months later and I still feel as though I am recovering.

Whatever I was going through, this medication should not have been given to me, or anyone who is in the postpartum time,as it AT LEAST aggravated my symptoms. I have read a lot from others who have posted stories of terrible long-lasting neurologiacal/mood disorders that they believe have been caused by Reglan. Also it seems that like me, these people have endured extended periods of suffering even after stopping use. I echo the sentiment of caution that has been expressed by others about using this drug. These side effects should be further investigated.
