"As soon as I started taking this medication It instantly made me feel drowsy..I couldn't possibly take the 3 tablets a day I was prescribed due to having to look after toddler. Instead I take 1 tablet an hour before bed. They help me sleep and have done the job wonderfully. Have no more stomach issues when I wake. I am very happy. Only other downside is I think they give me restless legs in bed,which isn't nice,but I'm willing to do anything to feel well"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "A word to the wise be sure the Doc. knows what medicines you are on before you take this medicine. I have acid reflux really bad. Went to the ER couldn't breathe, lost my voice, felt like I had an extremely tight chest. They diagnosed me with Gurd, I said I think I have caught the stomach bug. The ER Dr. gave me (2) shots of Reglan and a prescription to fill. Next morning I take my first dose spend the next two days confused, anxious, down and depressed. Looked up side effects of Reglan and realized it didn't mix well with the meds that I take daily and I had been given a little to much at once. After taking a couple days of musinex for congestion, mylanta for my stomach, inhaler to breathe 3 days later stomach bug gone!"

"I've been on metoclopramide for 3 days, it doesn't seem to be helping my heartburn which I've had for 3 weeks day in day out due to hiatus hernia, everything I've tried does not work apart from bicarbonate soda, lemon juice and honey which it helps"

Reglan (metoclopramide) "So when I became pregnant, I had the usual morning sickness, that evolved into hyperemesis. This lasted until I was 25 weeks pregnant and was FINALLY prescribed this WONDERFUL drug! I could eat and drink normally, feel not sick, and just finally enjoy the rest of my pregnancy as a happy pregnant lady!! It took 3 days to work. After giving birth, I had the same sickness, further realizing that I had Gastroparesis. (Caused by pregnancy) I was undiagnosed at that point, and they thought it was anxiety. They put me on Wellbutrin which interacted with the Reglan, then I had a Dystonic reaction to the Reglan. That’s the only reason I don’t give it a 10/10. This medicine helped me so much."

"This was so awful it gave me side effects of severe palpitations for 10 hours straight, tried everything I could think of to get rid of it - nothing helped. Due to Covid I avoided going to the ER because local hospital had an outbreak and shortage of staff - will never take this medication again! Felt terribly faint when getting up - had to pee every hour - awful, awful and belly is still bloated"

"when taken with an antacid, I sleep like a baby. No waking up with my dinner in my throat or lungs. Not tired during the day. Great stuff for a person who refuses to take drugs.."

"Only took one pill. The next morning the room around was movind back and forth. Scared me. I threw the rest away. I took this as a warning and in my opinion it should be taken off the market."
