Reglan and pharmacist

As a nursing mother, after three months of breastfeeding, my milk was decreasing. I was reluctant to take reglan, especially after picking up my prescription at the pharmacy and reading the side effects, I circled back to the drive through window and questioned the pharmacist as to whether I should really be taking it while breast-feeding. I also called and spoke with the nurse at my OB/GYN. Everyone continued telling me it was safe.I've taken reglan from 1 to 3 times a day for 3 months. I ended up taking it because I was convinced that the good trumped the bad since I would be able to feed my baby more of my milk. Anyway, yesterday, I found this site and now more than ever I know that I made the right decision to stop taking reglan immediately. My side-effects have included severe mood swings, depression, ,very negative thoughts, and anger. Reglan was the only drug that I was taking and l don't have a history of being angry or depressed. I'm looking forward to feeling like my normal self again and if I could turn back time, I would definitely breast feed my baby until my (natural) milk deminished and then use formula. That is my plan starting today. BREAST-FEEDING MOHTERS, FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH REGLAN, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT. Formula is better than the risk.

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 was given Reglan at the hospital via IV for flu-like symptoms, even though I didnt not mention having nausea - just a lack of appetite and indigestion. My doctor did not discuss it with me or ask me if I wanted it, she just sent a nurse in with an IV. I was told she was giving it to me because my heart rate was up and I was dehydrated.

The Reglan made me feel a lot better, I left the hospital feeling like I could actually walk again, even though I was still experiencing serious chills. Went home and was basically asleep off and on for hours but feeling fine. Then this morning I woke up with nausea, dizziness, tiredness and headache - symptoms I didnt have before taking the Reglan. I told the pharmacist about this and asked if I should have the prescription filled. He told me that the Reglan was to help me with those feelings and I was just having them because now that I didnt have the medication the symptoms were back. I'm not buying that, though. I think its a side effect of the Reglan and so I looked up this site. I'm glad I did. I now know I definitely should not go pick up that prescription.
