For Migraine "Never take this. This was given to me in the hospital for a migraine. I had a horrible anxiety attack and thought I was going to die. I have been severely depressed since then and have horrible anxiety. Anyone else feel this way?"

For Gastroparesis "Reglan, along with Zofran, almost cured my nausea and allows me to eat! The Reglan is great because I can eat and not feel so nauseated I'm going to throw up halfway through. Makes me feel as if I can work through full, huge meals. For me, those medications for gastroparesis are 100/100."

For Gastroparesis "This medicine is a blessing for me. I have gastric paresis and I also have Crohn's disease, so I have had nausea. I have taken Reglan for a long time on and off, and it is wonderful. I personally feel it gave me back my quality of life. If I feel sick or before I eat, I take it and I do not get sick. I have had NO side effects. I just feel so much better. I feel normal again, and I know other people who take this medicine and they feel better also. I usually take 3 - 5mg a day, it depends, sometimes I just take 1 - 10mg a day."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I've been suffering from nausea and vomiting due to my pregnancy. At the emergency hospital, I was prescribed to take Reglan 10 mg. I bought the medicine and was afraid to take it, it took me two weeks to finally try it due to the horrible reviews I read online. This medicine stopped my vomiting and, to my surprise, I never had any side effects from it."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I am 15 weeks pregnant, and have been fighting hyperemesis since week 10. I obviously don't want to take any medicines while pregnant, but the risk of not eating and drinking has become much worse. I've had 3 IVs. I tried Unisom with B6, Zofran, even Phenergan. Nothing touches the vomiting. Reglan is the only medicine that will stop the vomiting and allow me to eat and drink. I take it only when I'm totally desperate, but it is a miracle."

For Migraine "I am so relieved to find out that I am not alone with these reactions to Reglan. I had a similar reaction once before, so this time I begged them not to give me the Reglan, but they reassured me the medication wasn’t the issue. I pulled out my IV and checked myself out. Why isn’t this kind of reaction known of in the ER?"

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was 2 months pregnant and losing weight. My OB/GYN prescribed Reglan, and since then, my life changed. After two weeks of taking it, I woke up with a panic attack. The first one I ever had. I emailed my doctor, and she said it’s normal, you are hormonal. The symptoms started with that panic attack. Then I was afraid of the dark, I was unable to be alone, lack of sleep, my brain thinking extremely fast, no connection between my body and brain. My appetite started to disappear, and I had one moment of clear thinking and went to the ER. The doctor told me I had Akathisia induced by Reglan. When that happened, my self-confidence, character, independence, and happiness were gone. To make this story short, I saw a psychiatrist, attended therapy, yoga, and what I believe saved me: acupuncture! My parents moved to my house to stay with me. I retrained my brain, and the panic attacks started to disappear."

For Gastroparesis "My doctor put me on 10 mg Reglan last week for suspected gastroparesis. I agree with others that the side effects definitely outweigh the potential benefits of this medicine. Within an hour of taking it, I become extremely drowsy/weak and wanting to go to sleep. I know that I would never be able to take this medicine before driving. Then last night, three hours after taking it, I began to hallucinate and was afraid to fall asleep. When I did fall asleep, I recall having weird dreams. So, I decided to stop taking Reglan."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Don't ever take Reglan. It is an old-school antipsychotic that was given to severely ill patients such as schizophrenics. It's like Haldol. It blocks dopamine receptors and can cause movement disorders. These uneducated, idiot doctors that hand these out for headaches and stomach conditions should lose their licenses. It's disgusting. NEVER take them."

For Migraine "I went to the local quick care emergency room with a severe headache and pain. I was having nausea as well. They came in and gave me a dose of IV Reglan, and within seconds I was freaking out, trying to pull my IV out and yelling that I needed to get out of there. I was dizzy, disoriented, and felt like I was on some serious drugs. I was having severe anxiety, and I felt like my heart was going to explode. I have never reacted this way to any drug, and it was a terrifying experience. I would not recommend this POS medication to anyone, please be careful, especially if you have preexisting anxiety!!"

For Gastroparesis "I was diagnosed with SMA (Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome) syndrome. I had surgery to help correct it, but from years of being misdiagnosed because SMA is very rare in someone like me, my esophagus paid the price due to being obstructed for so many years. I have very little motility. My doctor put me on Reglan following my surgery to aid with digestion. Shortly after taking it, I felt extreme fatigue. As the days went on, my anxiety level increased. I have never been a person with anxiety, so this was rare for me. I constantly had people asking me, 'What's wrong?' My thoughts were racing all the time. The only thing I could attribute it to was Reglan. I told my doctor, and he said to discontinue use. After a few days of being off the medication, I began to feel like myself again. If it works for you, great, but if you are experiencing any of the things I mentioned, I would quit taking the medicine."

"WORST experience of my life! I was prescribed Reglan for nausea since I had been given pain medicine for a kidney stone. Immediately after putting the Reglan in my IV, I was a different person. I became extremely agitated. I had muscle spasms in my neck and couldn't stop twitching. I felt insane and like I was crawling out of my skin. I was so tired but couldn't sleep. I felt like what I would imagine roid rage to feel... The absolute worst feeling! I was given Benadryl to dull the side effects, and it didn't touch the symptoms. I had to wait for the medicine to run its course to actually feel normal again. I'm not sure how this medicine is okay to administer, but it needs to be illegal."

For Migraine "Had a headache for 4 weeks. Very severe. Tried everything OTC. Went to ER. Dr. gave a migraine cocktail with Reglan and Benadryl. I weigh 130, 5'6. I immediately started feeling ridiculous anxiety, shaking uncontrollably. Short of breath, feeling like I was going to pass out, and my heart rate was dropping. I felt like I was going to die. I couldn’t even talk to my husband on the phone. Wanted to rip out the IV. I actually stopped the IV and hit the button for help. They had closed the door and I got severe panic. Once the IV was done, they gave me Valium, which helped a little and sent me home. Still had the headache slightly. Have some side effects in the evening and now today. How long does it take to wear off? Awful, awful experience."

For Gastroparesis "Went on Reglan 5 mg 4x a day for severe vomiting and weight loss from gastroparesis. Initially, started to feel relief after the first few days, after 5 days, I was able to keep food down and ceased to vomit for the first time in months. By day 7, the Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms started with leg twitching, lip smacking, and neck immobility. Thankful the doctor had told me that Benadryl was the antidote, and the symptoms went away after a day. So annoyed that I experienced these side effects because it was working for the gastroparesis, but not worth having lifelong Tardive Dyskinesia."

For Migraine "This drug is horrible! I went to the emergency department due to a post-COVID migraine that was so bad, I thought I might be having a stroke. They put this drug in the IV to help with the nausea. I’d never had it before and wasn’t told the potential side effects. Within ten minutes of starting the IV, I became agitated and began thinking of harming myself. I had no idea it was from the drug and only knew that I needed to leave the hospital so I could harm myself. Of course, I did not tell anybody that! I just told them that I was feeling better and needed to leave right away. A nurse came and removed the IV so I could leave, and within minutes, the intense thoughts and agitation subsided. I didn’t know what had happened to me until I got home later on and looked up the side effects of this drug. Even worse, if I had completed suicide, everybody would have thought it was me and not because of this nightmare drug. Terrifying to think how many this has happened to. Please stay safe."

For Nausea/Vomiting "On April 28, 2020, I went to the ER for gastrointestinal problems due to bloating and nausea. The ER doctor injected Reglan into my IV without telling me the side effects of the medication. After she injected the meds, I started to feel anxious, antsy, and I wanted to rip my IV out of my arm. I couldn’t pick my phone up to call anyone. I felt I was going to die and lose control. This medication is no good."

For Migraine "I wouldn't even give this drug a 1. I came to the ER last night for severe head and neck pain, and this is what they suggested giving me in an IV: Reglan and Benadryl. I had this once a year or so ago and had a terrible reaction and insisted I didn't want the IV. However, I ended up letting them talk me into it and got it. Within 5 minutes of getting the IV, I felt anxious, trapped, paranoid, like I was going to die. I had to page the nurse like 3 times to come take the IV out. I just wanted to go home. I ended up pacing and walking 20 laps around the hospital with a nurse. They ended up talking me into allowing them to give me Ativan and more Benadryl to reverse the Reglan. I truly felt like I was going to die."

For Nausea/Vomiting "This was given to me as an IV, and I felt restless and anxious. I had hallucinations and unbelievable depression and emotional pain. I thought I went crazy and had suicidal thoughts. I was depressed for a month after that. I couldn't tell you if it worked because I was too busy arguing with myself on whether I was crazy. I am one of those people who never thought suicide was an answer to anything, but this medicine made me believe it was the only answer."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I’m in my first trimester and was prescribed Reglan 3 times a day for my severe nausea. I literally took a dose this morning at 8 am and haven’t taken another one since. This pill is awful. I have been on it for a week and have experienced anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, and STILL nauseous. I would take it and feel like I had to get up and move around, I was antsy. I’m so glad I found this forum so that I know I’m not going crazy. Please, if you have nausea, ask the doctor for a different medication."

For Gastroparesis "Been on metoclopramide 10 mg (generic Reglan) 3x daily for over 10 years for GP. When I don’t take it, my nausea is so bad I cannot eat. I cannot function without it. I have tried most common nausea meds, and it’s the only thing that helps! I’ve developed hand twitches from taking 10 mg 3 times a day. But I found by taking a 1/2 pill every 4-6 hours keeps my nausea under control and no tremors."

For Nausea/Vomiting "If you have any sort of anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or really any mental health issues, do not take Reglan! I was first given this medicine through an IV at the ER, and it didn't bother me. When I started taking it at home, after my 3rd dose, I had the most severe reaction to it. My blood pressure was off the charts, my heart rate was sky high, I had a rash on my chest. I was dizzy and lightheaded, I could've passed out at any second. My husband took me to the ER, and they did say I was having severe side effects/allergic reaction to it. Please be aware of the dangers of Reglan!"

For Gastroparesis "I was diagnosed with gastroparesis back in May 2019 and was put on erythromycin first. I still had early satiety, vomiting, severe nausea, and lack of appetite, so my GI put me on Reglan. I take 5 mg Reglan, 3x daily before meals and as needed for nausea and vomiting. I alternate Zofran, Phenergan, and Reglan constantly throughout the day so I can keep my nausea under control and vomiting to a minimum. I've been on Reglan for about 6 months and haven't been hospitalized for malnutrition, dehydration, vomiting, or nausea since starting it. My GI hopes to eventually cut back on the amount of Reglan I take, but so far, I've gained weight, can eat most days, and am able to keep food down. If you're struggling with gastroparesis, I highly recommend Reglan. Oral and IV Reglan have saved my life and staved off any feeding tubes."

For Migraine "I was just given this medication through IV for a migraine the other day. It only took moments and my heart started instantly racing, my legs felt super heavy like I couldn’t move, my face was tingling, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. It was to the point where I couldn’t even talk just scared that I was dying. I was then given Benadryl and with 15 min the symptoms subsided. I cannot stress enough how real it was and how it was the scariest experience of my life."

For Gastroparesis "I have gastroparesis due to what they think is vagus nerve damage from fundoplication in 2017. Symptoms started two years later. I almost starved to death, it was the worst thing I've ever been through. Nothing they tried worked until Reglan. I was very scared to take it due to the stories I've heard, but it has saved my life! It has helped me so much, I actually keep my food down and the horrible reflux is gone when taking Reglan. I'm so grateful for this medication. The only side effect I have experienced is vivid, sometimes bad dreams. I'll take the dreams over constant vomiting!"

For Migraine "Caused immediate dystonic reaction, hallucinations, derealization, depersonalization, agoraphobia, monophobia, daily panic attacks, severe depression, akathisia, legs stopped working, muscle tremors, severe fatigue, chills, fainting, diarrhea, nausea, dry heaving, loss of appetite, acid reflux, shortness of breath, red burning skin, numbness in limbs, headache, restlessness, chest pain. Was given this drug via IV one-time dose! It has now been 6 months and I am still completely disabled, feels like I'm living in a dream, scared all of the time, can't eat, no joy, suffering for months on end. I’ve heard it can take a year or more to recover. Please join the Reglan Support Group on Facebook if you are suffering long-term effects from this med and don’t let doctors gaslight you! Keep in mind I have no history of mental illness and now have similar issues to TBI and severe panic disorder."
