Reglan and toes

THIS IS A HORRIBLE DANGEROUS DRUG!!!!!
Doctors 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.

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.

Hi I was on Reglan for over six years for IBS and nausea.My GI never mentioned any side effects from use of the medicine.I have a c-spine injury that has caused some neuropathy. I never thought that symptoms that I have like extreme restlessness,shaking of my hands,feet and toes,sucking my tongue,my mouth puckers,my lips shake,my jaws tighten up,I now have a facial tic.I never even considered that taking the Reglan for so long could have caused these side effects until I was recently taken off of the medicine by my GI.He said that long term use could cause undesirable side effects like a facial tic.(Now he mentions side effects after over six years!) I then came home and looked it up on my computer and found all of these sights! I really need to get to a Neurologist one that specializes in movement disorders.If I had known of all of the side effects before taking the Reglan I could have prevented my Tardive Dyskinesia today!! My advice is always check the side effects of any medication before taking it.If only I would have I could have prevented so much long term damage! Pharmacy Companies should have better guidelines for testing their drugs before being allowed to have the drug on the market.We must send a clear message that as the public we demand better practices from our FDA.

After taking 10 mg. of metoclopramide (reglan) with each meal and at night for two years and two months for reflux, I am left with tongue and toe movement, difficulty falling asleep, and a strange numbness in my toes. It has now been a year and a half since I last took the medication. I would love to know if anyone has found anything that helped. Whenever possible, I tell people about my experience, hoping thereby to ease my own self-consciousness but also to find possible cures that don't themselves come with side-effects.

The first time I recieved reglan i had a migrane. I didn't know it at the time but the drug made me restless then I passed out in the ER. The second time was when i had surgery. I was fine before the medication but as soon as i got the injection I became agitated, restless, and could not stop moving (rocking back and fourth, and wiggling my toes), then i procedded to vomit throughout the surgical procedure. The third time i got it (after telling the anathesiologist that I had an allergy to Reglan) was when I had a C-section. I vomited uncontrollably throughout the birth of my son, became agitated, and passed out again!!
