"The reaction I had to this medication was scary. I am 12 weeks pregnant and went to the emergancy room because I couldn't keep anything down so they started an IV and shot this medication straight into IV and when it hit me I felt horrible like I was having a panic attack. I also broke out in a rash. Never again!!! Horrible experience!"

"I was in the ER w a migraine and dehydration due to vomiting. Instead of the regular phenagren I receive, I was administered Reglan. I became very irritated, jittery, and irrational. I tried to get out of the hospital bed and pull out my IV. It took four soldiers (we are military) to hold me down to give me a shot to counteract the Reglan. Needless to say I have Reglan allergy in my medical records now."

"Side effects were - confused, disoriented, dizzy, unable to concentrate or remember what I meant to do next. Unable to remember words or communicate effectively. Eyes feel unfocused. Slight muscle twitches, dry mouth and extreme drowsiness. Thank goodness I do not have to drive myself home from work! However, the nausea and vomiting HAS stopped."

"I was given reglan about two months ago to subside the vomiting that came along with hyperemesis gravidarum from my pregnancy. While it fixed that issue, it gave me the worst depression. I don't want to leave my bed, shower, or take care of myself or anything else. I'm letting go of this drug tomorrow."

"I have had nausea for years and nothing worked so my doctor gave me Reglan. At first it worked and I was so happy then the side effects blasted in! I have never been sicker in my life. I was unable to get out of bed. I lost my mind for a long time. I even named the sides of my bed. Right side was chocolate and left was vanilla!. I could not get comfortable. I lost around 100 lbs because I couldn't eat. My kids thought I had gone crazy. THEN the worst side effect, Tardis Dykinesia set in. It is an untreatable disease that caused crazy facial ticks and body movements. This disease NEVER goes away. I have been bed bound for 8 years because of this drug! DON'T TAKE IT!!! It has a black label that warns of the horrible side effect"

"I was given this medication for nausea at the ER while I was about 9 weeks pregnant because the Zofran didn't work. Worse reaction of my life. I jumped up and started passing out to the floor, felt like I needed to crawl out of my skin. My heart rate was tachycardia. It was worse than the nausea and it didn't help. I did get it through an IV with benadryl because they said it makes people want to crawl out of their skin. No worth it even with severe nausea."

"I've been in & out of ER for years when a really nasty migraine won't stop with at home meds. I usually get a migraine cocktail with either phenergan & nuban, or benadryl & reglan. Only this time I was uncontrollably vomiting with a hernia & back surgery and needed relief pronto. When they administered benadryl I was fine, then the reglan & within minutes I was literally jumping of the bed high stepping & jumping around the room. Things your body can't physically do after multiple back surgeries. Suddenly surrounded by 4 nurses saying oh boy, this reaction to reglan only happens maybe 4 times in their careers (to this extent.) They gave me 3 shots of something to reverse effects, but took over & hour! Now have a reglan allergy band!!!"

"One of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I was give Reglan through IV. I began sweating profusely and became very agitated. It progressed until I was inconsolable. I began begging my husband to help me escape the hospital. He told me I was crying and slapping myself. I was pacing around the room, sitting down and then immediately standing back up. My eyes were darting around. I remember being very suspicious of everyone around me. Anxiety does not even cover it. I’ve had panic attack’s before and this was something else, something much worse. The only way I was able to keep myself from exploding was by hurting myself. I dug my nails into my skin and pinched myself till bleeding. Truly one of the worst experiences of my life. Please don’t risk this medication. There are other options."

"Was given Reglan in ER for dehydration caused by hyperemesis in pregnancy. Within a few minutes I wanted to rip out my IV and run out of the hospital. I felt so exhausted but couldn’t control my body movements and just wanted to run away. It was terrifying. They gave me IV Benadryl soon after and that helped a lot. The reglan helped my nausea and vomiting sooo much. They gave me script for home but I will definitely be taking it with a dose of Benadryl. Hoping that’s enough to counteract this horrible side effects in the future. Be VERY CAREFUL with this medication. Make sure they have an order for Benadryl to use in case you have these side effects. And make sure the nurse pushes it very slow if administering through an IV."

"OMG! This is the first time I have ever seen anyone else besides myself have an issue like this with Reglan. The first time I got it was while waiting to have surgery and the longer I sat there, the more panic stricken I became til I was just sure if I stayed I was going to die in surgery so I pulled the IV, got dressed and went home. When it wore off I felt crazy so called nurse at ay surgery and she said it happens frequently and we should try again using plain saline, not even ringers solution. I was fine the second time around. I also get it from Compazine, phenergan and ativan. They call this reaction Akathesia. ER gave me Cogentin and a couple of xanax and it was gone in 15 minutes. AWful, awful feeling!"

"Prescribed reglan at the ER for slow gastric emptying and nausea while pregnant. My third dose is when I had the side effects. Restlessness, agitation, and the feeling of crawling out of my skin. Side effects finally went away after 6 hours. It was awful and I will never take reglan again"

"Was given Reglan @ER for severe vomiting. My heart began to race & I felt extremely jittery & anxious. As sick as I was, I couldn't even lie down anymore, I was so "hyped up". They had to give me Ativan to reverse the effects of the Reglan. Never again."

"I was given this in my IV while admitted for severe dehydration. Within 5 minutes I had a full blown panic attack that Xanax couldn't even touch. They did not tell me any of the side effects I have now read up on after that experience. I had to be discharged against medical advice because the attack was so severe I was going crazy in the room. I tried to rip my IV out from it bothering me so badly after that and they luckily came and took it out. It all started with the IV making me feel insane. My whole arm that it was administered in felt like I wanted it gone from my body that it was some foreign object touching me. I will never take this medicine again. I couldn't tell you if it helped the nausea or not because I ended up throwing up from the panic attack."

"My experience was a nightmare. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. it gave me severe anxiety and sense of dread. The nurses and hospital staff couldn't get ahold of a physician to give me something to counteract it and they were out of benadryl. Yes. The hospital was out of benadryl. I couldn't take the anxiety and I ripped out all my IV.'s and ran out to my car and left. Thats how bad the panic was"

"My husband has been type 1 diabetic since age 7. He's suffered from stomach issues for the last 10 years. Our doctor started him on Reglan for gastroparesis and it has made a drastic difference in our lives! He was vomiting for 3 days straight about every 3 weeks, almost like clock work. He's lost so much weight. But Reglan has helped him tremendously. He's been on it for about month."

"PLEASE do not take this medication!! If you go into the ER for nausea and vomiting and they tell you their going to administer this medication into your IV, tell them absolutely not! I suffered from Hyperthemsis Gravidarum for the first 3 months of my pregnancy that landed me in the ER five times and I had to be put on IV fluids the first couple times they gave me zofran which worked the first and second time and then it just started making my nausea and vomiting worse. The next couple times I came into the ER and I told them the zofran was making me feel worse they decided to give me Reglan and oh my god I had never felt this way from a medication before after ten mins of them giving it to me I started shaking and feeling the worse anxiety I've ever felt and I have anxiety disorder. I wanted to rip my IV out of my arm and run out of the hospital. I remember I started looking at my IV and trying to figure out a way I could remove it myself without injuring myself."

"I was in the hospital for "Hypermesis Graverdarum" Severe morning sickness and was givin Reglan through IV and right away I was telling my sister I have to get out of here, I couldn't sit in the bed I was forcing my eyes shut to escape the rush of anxiety rushing through me. The whole ride home I was telling her I wanted to jump out of the car, Listen to reviews!!! Take care"

"My morning sickness was so bad and I couldn’t handle it with all the ginger, saltines, and other things they say to try. I even tried vitamin combos with Unisom by my Dr. but nothing worked until I was told to take Reglan. I take it 4 times a day with 25mg of B6 and then 1/2 a unisom a night. I still have food adversities (like can’t stand the smell of coffee or onions) but I can eat mostly normal (which is great as I was loosing weight and already on the small side). I would give 10/10 except it makes me sleepy. I’ve found other caffeine (verb bars) which help but still always feel like I need a nap. Still SO MUCH BETTER than how sick and miserable I was feeling and sleepiness can also possibly a result of pregnancy cause that first trimester is always hard."

"I was given Reglan once in the ER one night they didn’t tell me anything about the bad stuff till after they used it I ended up with muscle spasms in my neck that made it impossible to turn my head I was so scared because of it. It’s in all of my charts to NEVER give this to me I even called my mum and basically said my goodbyes Thinking I wasn’t going to live and I have no mental health problems."

"Was in hospital following surgery and was given Reglan IV to control nausea when zofran didn't work. I developed intermittent atrial fibrillation. My nurse and I both noticed my heart would be fine until sometime after my shot of Reglan. She called hospital pharmacist who said it was feasible Reglan could cause cardiac trouble. Once Reglan was withheld, the afib stopped. It certainly helped the nausea, but not good to wind up with afib."

"I was given this med for severe morning sickness with my beautiful twins. I spent an entire night in absolute terror as I had racing thoughts. Instead of a controllable stream of thought, my thoughts were like a freight train running over me. I was completely frantic by the time it wore off. Never took another dose, memorized the name to make sure I never take it again."

"Just to make others aware, I also had very negative reactions to this medicine. I was given it before a lower back surgical procedure to prevent nausea. Within probably less than 2 minutes after having Reglan injected into an IV, I went from totally normal to hyperventilating and having extreme paranoia almost to the point of hallucinations. I became angry, threatening, and confrontational with EVERYONE around me including strangers, ripped out my IV tubing, and ran out of the hospital. It wore off about 30 minutes later and I returned to the hospital and apologized profusely and continued with pre-surgery items. Nurses told me they see similar side effects of anxiety and people "wanting to leave urgently" but never as extreme as it was for me. I now list it as an allergy, and would warn anyone to stay away from it."

"I was given Reglan as part of a drug cocktail for migraine. Although Benadryl was part of the infusion I still had horrible symptoms. First I started to hallucinate. Then fell asleep began having nightmares of suffocation. Nurse woke me and I still couldn’t orient myself and just kept saying “help me” over and over my whole body jerking and arms especially spastic . I couldn’t stay awake and kept falling back then immediately waking with my whole body jerking and my arms and legs flailing around so bad I couldn’t use the call button or even pick it up. They sent me home that way. It lasted about 4 hours. I was flailing so hard my husband could hardly get me into the car. I will have this added to drug allergies.this was one of the the most horrible experiences of my life."

"I was prescribed Reglan during my first pregnancy for hyperemesis gravidarum and now I have to get an allergy band every time I go for medical treatment. Within half an hour I began to experience uncontrollable muscle spasms, and, although I only took this medication once in the morning, the spasms did not completely go away for a full 12 hours. During this time, I felt extremely nervous - like I wanted to unzip my skin and run away. Reglan did absolutely nothing to curb my extreme nausea and vomiting. Thankfully my baby was unaffected."
