Reglan and tongue

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 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.

Warning, could ruin your life, take at your own risk, proper side affects that could be permanent, would you still take it? lack of information on drug leaflet, should not be allowed...

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.

tremors of both hands, involuntary oral movement of lips and tongue, hesitations when speaking

This is the experience my 9 year old son, who has a developmental disability similar to autism, has experienced:

His symptoms began when we STOPPED Reglan
Teachers thought he was having seizures
Uncontrollable head and facial movements
Tongue rolling and protruding
Extreme restlessness
Slurred speech

MY MOTHER IN LAW BEGAN HAVING UNCONTROLLABLE TONGUE AND FACIAL MOVEMENT, KNOWN AS TARDIVE DYSKINESIA. THIS IS QUITE OFTEN PERMANANT. I AM ANGRY THAT HER DOCTOR NEVER ADVISED HER OF THIS SIDE EFFECT.
