Reglan and medicine

Well i started taking Reglan for the increase of my milk supply. As i started to read through all of your side affects a few of them hit me to think that maybe i feel the way i do because of this medicine. I have been having an altered state of mind and anxiety the only way i can explain it is my mind feels NOT THERE!! pretty much and it lasts for several minutes. (i'm scared to drive now) I just had a baby so i'm thinking at first it's maybe because of no sleep and taking care of two other children during the day was causing these problems but as i research this drug more and more i know now that it was the Reglan causing and still causing my problems my children in no way can be the ones causing some of these problems after all i've been taking care of them just fine for several years before i started taking this drug. So i wasn't to thank everyone for sharing there stories as well because it has really made me determined exactly what and where my problems are coming from... "Now it's time for me to find some help for this" Thanks again!

It really is surprising that this drug is used. I had an episode when I was 18. My parents were out of town and I got a really bad migraine. I called them and they told me I should go to the emergency room. I went by myself and I don't remember what they gave me, but it must have been Reglan. With in minutes of the IV I got really nervous and agitated. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I buzzed the nurse button like 3 times and after 10 minutes and no one came I panicked. I pulled the IV out and left the hospital. Crazy I know but I couldn't think clearly. I went home and after a few hours I was okay.

Well this brings me to 9 years later and to my most recent experience. I am pregnant and I got a really nasty migraine. I was puking, couldn't see out of my right eye. Since there wasn't anything I could take I called my OB. He told me I should go to the ER and so I went with my husband. They said they wanted to give me Reglan and Benadryl, since I didn't know that was what they gave my when I was 18 I said okay. With in minutes I was having the same reaction I did 9 years ago. I went nuts. I started freaking out. I told my husband I wanted to leave. I needed the IV out of me. My skin was itchy and burning. I was nervous, shaking, and having a hard time breathing. When I husband got the nurse she was really condescending. She was like, “Do you have a history panic attacks?” I said, "no." Then she got the Dr., who ordered more Benadryl. After about 15 more minutes I calmed down. This was an extremely unpleasant experience; I will never take this medicine again.

I went to the ER with nausea and vomiting just yesterday around 3 a.m. I have been throwing up for 3 days now. When I got there, they immediately gave me reglan through iv. After about 5-10 minutes, I started to feel hyper also. I wanted to leave, I tossed and turned, I didn't want the iv in me anymore. I started feeling tingling in my toes. Later around noon, I felt depressed and aggravated. Any little thing got to me and I told my fiance' that I was not happy and I just should end everything including my life. Now I see why I was feeling this way. I am so glad I did not get this prescription filled that they prescribed for me. Ask the side effects before taking this medicine.
