"So I went to the ER and took this medication because I've been vomiting for a month. As soon as the drip started, I felt like I was going to die. I didn't feel like I was in my body and felt like I was burning from the inside. I wanted to go home and run away from the hospital. It was the weirdest feeling ever. I didn't realize that it was Reglan until I was prescribed it. The next day comes, and I take 10 mg before breakfast. Everything is fine for a couple of minutes until I feel the same reaction again. I feel as if I'm about to go crazy and I'm not even in my own body. At this point, I'm realizing that it's the medicine causing it. If you feel this way, please go to the doctor ASAP. This medication is known to cause you to feel this way. Unlucky for me, I thought it was just me being odd, so I didn't say anything at the ER, but I really should have. I'm going to see my doctor in a couple of days, and I'm going to mention this to her. I would rather be vomiting than feel this way!"

"Metoclopramide in low doses worked. After being prescribed 10 mg, 3 times a day, I didn't take it. It made me feel strange, and I had the fear of tardive dyskinesia (TD). So I started taking only 10 mg once a day after eating my main meal, when I needed it, and I had my symptoms. It helps tremendously."

"Reglan is the worst medication that I have ever taken. I became mentally unstable a few days after taking it for gastroparesis. It relieved my nausea somewhat, but at the worst point, dealt with suicidal ideation. I have many friends who also have dealt with similar things. Absolutely not worth it, go with a diet modification for relief instead."

"Was on this medication for two years, then had to stop it as it was making my spasms in my hands worse. After stopping it, I came out in a rash all over my body, and it lasted six weeks. Anyone else had this with this medication."

"It worked great on my gastroparesis that I had after a bout of pancreatitis within 10 days, but had a very annoying side effect of shakiness. I felt like I was a Parkinson's patient and now hope that I never have that condition for real."

"My stomach doctor put me on this medicine. Having tons of trouble with my stomach since my gallbladder and gastric sleeve surgery. I am in constant pain. I take Prozac for PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I am willing to try new meds. This stuff made my skin crawl. I had the worst panic attack I have ever experienced. It made my stomach hurt worse. Felt dizzy and couldn't think right. Gave me a bad headache. Worst ever. I was taken to the ER where I was given Ativan and then some Valium. Stopped taking it, and within a few days, everything was okay."

"After a HIDA scan showed that my gallbladder was a dud, it was removed. Soon after, the symptoms of delayed gastric emptying appeared. I had two rounds of tests, and I was diagnosed with gastroparesis, probably triggered by my gallbladder removal but likely from having a genetic disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The GP was helped immensely by Reglan 5 mg, but I had to reduce my dosing as I developed a minor tic (nothing that really bothers me). I have awful insomnia from having EDS and have no chance of sleep unless I take 5 prescription medications. Many nights, though, it was like I took nothing for sleep and I laid awake all night. I wondered if my GP was preventing my meds from passing from my stomach and being absorbed. I started taking one Reglan with my sleep meds, and I now have the best sleep I’ve had in 15 years. EDS makes life very difficult, but Reglan has helped me manage a couple of real troubling issues. My life would be very different without it."

Metoclopramide "When my stomach quits working, the pain is intense, but using Reglan, in about 15 to 20 minutes, the pain goes away and my stomach goes back to working. Receiving Reglan in IV is the fastest relief, it only takes about 2 minutes for relief."

"Been taking this drug for several months to help with my gastroparesis/nausea. For the first few days, it made me feel a bit out of sorts, but after those first few days, it has been the best thing I’ve had. It has helped me eat a bit easier and not spend several times a day vomiting up the food I’ve eaten. Can the side effects be unpleasant when you first start? Of course, but for someone like myself, it has been a game changer and has made my quality of life better."

Metoclopramide "The reviews for this are seriously scary, so I'm going to leave a positive one. I'm currently in the hospital due to severe malnutrition from gastroparesis. They put me on Reglan for nausea and occasional vomiting, and it's definitely helped a little. Still probably going to end up on a feeding tube, but I don't have any negative side effects from taking this. Yeah, it might be terrible for some people, but it also has the potential to really help."

"Metoclopramide is a dangerous drug. I stopped taking it after a week, still getting a lot of anxiety, insomnia, which I never had before, made me think I am going insane. Don't risk it."
