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.

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.

My GP put me on Regan for reflux, after 3 months with no relief he told me to up the dose to 4x a day. I suffered severe depression, chills, body aches, fatigue and panic attacks. Finally, after taking the 4x a day dose for 30 days, I suffered a severe reaction with stroke-like symptoms. My Doctor never mentioned these side-effects and I already suffered from manic-depressive disorder. I thought I was going to die from a stroke or heart attack the last day I took it. After getting my refill, I read the adverse side effects from the accompanying leaflet and planned on discussing it with the Doctor. Three days later I suffered the really bad reaction and It was only because I read the leaflet provided by the RX store a few days earlier that I was aware it was the Reglan. I flushed every bit of it and listed it as an allergic med on my med card. I should have never been a candidate for Reglan because of my manic-depressive disorder and heart disease. Be an advocate . . . research new meds yourself and don't rely on physicians or pharmacists to warn you of side-effects or reactions to other medications your taking.
