Metoclopramide "I have only been taking Reglan about 10 days, twice a day. By the third day, there was a great deal of improvement! Normally, I have heartburn and reflux throughout the day. Not so on Reglan. I hope to stay on it for 12 weeks and have this relief for that period of time. Because of my GERD, I have been getting esophageal ulcers, esophagitis, and gastritis. I have bad esophageal spasms and have been taking Bentyl since July 2020 when the last ulcers were found. I was told years ago I had delayed gastric emptying."

"I had anxiety that was triggered off metoclopramide (Reglan), which I was trying to take for my GERD. I took one single 10 mg dosage without reading the side effects in pill form! And within minutes of it touching my bloodstream, my body panicked, had a horrible anxiety attack on the road driving! Never had anxiety like this before! Will never take that AGAIN! Wouldn’t recommend this medication to my WORST enemy! I discontinued it ASAP! Took this August 13th and now it’s Oct 10th. After that, I’ve been experiencing derealization/out-of-body mild psychosis type feeling, muscle aches and twitches, twitches in legs, arms, and face! Fatigued constantly from the overwhelming anxiety. I have developed also social anxiety as well from this medication! Anyone experienced this?! Please, you guys, please be careful! Now I have to talk to a therapist! I have an ongoing case now against them for not warning me of the black box warning and side effects!"

"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 a toddler. Instead, I take 1 tablet an hour before bed. They help me sleep and have done the job wonderfully. I have no more stomach issues when I wake. I am very happy. The 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."

Metoclopramide "I was on Reglan for almost five months, particularly the 5 mg pill 3x a day, in order to treat my severe GERD episode and suspected gastroparesis. Here is my personal experience: I was not well informed on all the effects of Reglan and how it affected someone like me, who had a history of depression and anxiety. Granted, I was never diagnosed with mental health disorders, I was 16 at the time when taking this medication. I am now 20. The medication did wonders for my stomach, it genuinely fixed my problem by the time I got off of it. However, it had detrimental effects on my mental health. At the time of taking it, I was already dipping into a depressive episode. This exaggerated it by a lot and even caused me to suffer from psychotic symptoms. I learned later that this medication is a dopamine antagonist and in the same family as antipsychotics-which is ironic if you asked me."

"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 helps."

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 the 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 my belly is still bloated."

Metoclopramide "Today I took one pill, and I swear I felt like my life was over and was very depressed. Went to the ER to get rid of side effects with Benadryl."

Metoclopramide "No heartburn, but more importantly, cured lifelong bowel problem of having to go 4 to 5 times a day down to 1 or 2."

Metoclopramide "I became extremely fatigued, depressed, and lost my appetite. While it slightly cut back on my vomiting, I would not recommend this medicine."

"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 moving 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."

"Read reviews, and it is quite off-putting. This medication helped me eat when I was really unable to eat much at all and helped me stay pain-free for the five days I was on them."

"I used this to stop a bad feeling with a bad odor when I burp. This has helped, and I have had no reaction that was negative so far."
