Reglan and doctors

THIS IS A HORRIBLE DANGEROUS DRUG!!!!!
Doctors prescribed this to my mother for 5 years!!!! Because of it's devastating side effects it is FDA approved for short term 4-12 weeks and only as a last resort. And NEVER for Parkinson's patients. It is unclear if Reglan caused the Parkinson's like symptoms or if she had it prior. Either way the doctor was so wrong to prescribe this medication to her. She is completely disabled can't walk or even get out of a chair had a auto accident and falls one time a metal frame fell on her head causing a hospital visit another time she fell into cactus! I was horrified to learn that no one caught this error. Not one doctor or the drug store told my parents REGLAN could cause her to end up using a walker and unable to function even the simplest daily tasks and that these symptoms could be permanent.

My daughter just had surgery, and was getting Reglan with Benadryl through her IV. She requested no Benadryl with the last dose, because she didn't want to be sleepy when her sister came to visit. Suddenly, her jaw clenched and her eyes rolled to one side (she said she couldn't control her face) and she became panicky, and fearful that the doctors wouldn't let her go home. She thought she was having a stroke or a seizure. An injection of Benadryl helped her to calm down, but she experienced tingling at the base of her neck and "felt funny" for a few days after...Now we know why they give the two drugs together!

I was 3 months pregnant with my second child. I had been throwing up every day (4-6x) since my first month of pregnancy. My OB said that it would pass and was not concerned. On night I just couldn't take it anymore and ended up in the ER. The doc started me on a IV to replace my fluids. She also added Reglan to it. About 2-3 minutes after they added it to my IV my whole body turned to ice. I was freezing. It felt like something was crawling under my skin. I started rubbing my arms like crazy telling my husband that I didn't feel good. My body felt like it was not my own. I was trying to get out of it!! The only way I can explain what happened next was I guess I had a panic attack. I started screaming "Get it out of me!!" I tried to rip out my IV and jumping off the table. I could not stop shaking and crying. I was perfectly fine (mentally) before they gave Reglan to me. Two security guards and 2 nurses + the doc came running in and attempted to hold me down (5'7 130lbs). They could barely hold me down before the doctor shot something into my IV. Within seconds it stopped and I felt 100% better. I asked what happened to me and the doctor said that "you had an adverse reaction". Ummm that is putting it mildly. I signed myself out after that. I have NEVER experienced anything like that in my life!! Needless to say I tell my doctors (OB+ GP) that I am allergic to Reglan!

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.

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.
