I started taking REGLAN for gastropoesis 5 months ago. Since I have been tested for MS due to my side effects from REGLAN. Thousands of dollars in medical bills. Symptoms included, numbness and tingling in the extremities and face, forgetfulness, muscle weakness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, insomnia, loss of fine motor skills, confusion, muscle rigidity, etc. I quit taking REGLAN last night hoping that there is no permanent damage. Anyone have any hopeful conclusions?

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...

I took Reglan for two days 14 years ago. The second evening I became extremely jittery and had involuntary movement of my arms and legs that I could not stop.I was not able to sleep either. Since this was the only new medicine that was prescribed, I immediately stopped taking it. Fourteen years later I still battle with insomnia. It started abruptly that night. THIS MEDICINE IS DANGEROUS!!! PLEASE STOP TAKING IT IF YOU ARE ON IT!!!!!!

THIS IS A HORRIBLE DANGEROUS DRUG!!!!!
-- By utoh | Reply | (4) replies | Private Message meDoctors 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.
