During a recent acute headache episode, I was given a pain shot as well as an injection of Reglan, and then given Reglan 10 mg QID. After the injection, I began experiencing horrible restlessness and could not seem to sit still. While then progressing on to the oral medication, I soon began experiencing extremely painful muscle spasms throughout my body, as well as weakness, right eye twitching, neck spasms that radiated down the front and back-side of the neck and chest, trouble with swallowing, and developed near lockjaw, only speaking like a ventriloquist. I even thought I had developed tetanus from a recent thorn in my finger. Well, my symptoms were due to REGLAN and should this happen to anyone else, STOP the medication IMMEDIATELY and notify your physician. In my case, I am taking Benadryl to counteract the extrapyramidal side-effects/dystonia. My symptoms all occurred within days of the Reglan; the injection symptom of agitation was more of an immediate reaction that continued to occur with the oral form of medication.

This medication is dangerous and causes serious neurological complications. After taking a prescribed dose for 3 days, I have experienced numbness in most parts of my body including face, muscle stiffness, muscle jerking and intensive weakness. I have also experienced uncontrollable anxiety attacks marked with depression and anger. This is the worst medication I have ever taken and after having stopped taking the pilss for three weeks now, my life hasn't been the same. I've been in the emergency room 4 times and two out of the four times I had an ambulance ride there. It feels like your having a stroke and then the body function comes back after a few minutes of HELL. Please be careful with this medication...very dangerous. I lived a normal healthy life prior to taking this medication.
