Reglan and sleep

My husband was put on Reglan generic November 11, 2008 for acid reflux. Saw Doctor in Dec. and again in March. Told to continue taking drug and come back in four more months. His side effect were loss of bladder control, erectile disfunction and unable to sleep. He did cut the dose and the lack of bladder control stopped.
My husband committed suicide April 7, 2009. He had never had depression in the past and we had no idea he would even consider this. Another lady in my small town husband did the same thing taking the horrible drug!!!

I have had two AWFUL experiences with Reglan!
First time, I was in the ER with high blood pressure and a very bad headache. To treat the headache, I was given a combo of Reglan IV and "unknown". Right away I started sweating and freaking out! The only thing i could focus on was leaving. I felt this overwhelming desire to pull out my own IV and go home! I was so tired but couldn't rest... my mind just raced with depressing thoughts. They discharged me in this state... I didn't argue... I couldn't get out fast enough. However, I hardly made it home. I can not believe I was allowed to drive home in such a state.
Not knowing what meds caused me to have such a reaction... it happened again last week!
I was in the Emergency Room having treatment for a spinal leak from a spinal tap a few days prior. I complained of back pain (no kidding) and was given meds in my IV. Same thing...all over again! This time my mother witnessed the horrible reaction. The nurse only gave me a cold towel for my head and it took 2 days to start feeling back to normal... NEVER will I have this medication again.

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!

I went to the ER almost three days ago for nausea and vomiting and was put on an IV of reglan. I began feeling agitated and the doctor told me that this was normal. I wanted to get out of there but kept my calm and managed to get home afterwards. I'm still suffering from the anxiety and depression and I can't sleep! can anyone tell me if and when these symptoms wear off? is my brain permanently damaged? I'm terrified and worried thinking what I am going to do now if I have to quit my job, how I am going to take care of myself.

thank you for reading and if you have any advice for me

I am 18 weeks pregnant and have been taking Reglan since i was about 6 or 7 weeks pregnant after being admitted for sever dehydration and hypermesis(i think the two are the same) I was having severe nausea and vomiting and couldn't keep water or food down and i was to the point where i didn't want to eat anything. This is my 3rd pregnancy and this is the longest that I had to deal with these symptoms. I was on phenergan anal suppository and Zofran which was supposed to stop the nausea and allow me to eat which at first it kept me sleeping. After i was admitted in high risk unit they gave me Reglan and took me off of the Zofran and phenegan and put me on potassium and reglan along with benadryl. Nothing has stopped the vomiting it has gone down but not subsided. I have been out of work and has advised the doctor that it isn't working and they still want me to take this pill. I don't think that it is safe to be on so many medications which my doctor wants me to take the zofran again. I am spiritual and there has been two many times where my meds have gone missing and i have been put in the position where i can't afford to buy more. i think it is a sign and i just keep having this bad feeling about the baby taking all these pills. My tongue numb sometimes. my sleep pattern is of i have fatigue at night and am tired through out the day. I am more paranoid than ever. I am going back to work and will just suffer the natural symptoms i have done with my other children. Taking prescription drugs during pregnancy is just not natural and i will not sacrafice my child for promise of only suppressed symptoms for my child any longer.

I Took reglan as my docotor prescribed me.From the day the side effects are worse.I started feeling depression,anxiety,panic attacks which I used to not have anytime in my life.Now I stopped taking this it is been 10 days I am off this medicine.But I am facing still the same problems some time all this days.But My concern how many days it will take to get rid of this medicine from my system.Not even able to sleep properly.There is toxic taste inside the mouth now days.I always suggest people before taking this medicine just go and see the side effects of the medicine.

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!!!!!!

I took Reglan for a month. I gradually begin to lose interest in things, couldn't concentrate, and at the very end of the month became suicidal. It has now been a month since I have stopped taking Reglan, and every day is miserable and joyless. Every day I cry and think about suicide. The side effects of this medication did not end when I stopped taking it. My life is unbearable because of Reglan, and if the side effects don't end soon I am afraid that I will eventually kill myself. DO NOT TAKE REGLAN EVER.
