Metoclopramide "I was in the hospital for severe nausea/vomiting and was given Reglan through IV to help. I have a fear of needles, so I had my anti-anxiety medication with me. Within a few minutes of the administration, I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin or die. I nearly ripped my IV out of my arm, and I had to have my fiancée go get a nurse to rush through the discharge. It did help the nausea, and I took an anti-anxiety pill, which kicked in enough after about 45 minutes for me to be coherent again. The panic on the ride home as a passenger was so bad, it gave me a lasting discomfort of being in cars. I will do everything in my power to never take this medication again. I'd rather puke my guts out."

Metoclopramide "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."

Metoclopramide "PLEASE do not take this medication!! If you go into the ER for nausea and vomiting and they tell you they're going to administer this medication into your IV, tell them absolutely not! I suffered from Hyperemesis 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 of 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 of 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 minutes of them giving it to me, I started shaking and feeling the worst anxiety I've ever felt, and I have an 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."

Metoclopramide "Just like many others have said, I was given this in the ER for nausea and vomiting. TERRIBLE!!!! Do NOT let a doctor give you this medicine!!!! It makes you feel mentally insane and violently ill! Your entire body shakes, intense muscle cramping and contortions, nerve pain, panic attacks, have the urge to rip out the IV and escape the hospital bed, dizzy, confusion, uncontrollable body movements. Like many others have said as well, this medication can truly be PTSD inducing, especially if you have a history of anxiety/depression. I thought I was insane until I saw the amount of people with the same bizarre side effects. And it didn't even touch my nausea or vomiting issue in the slightest! Can't believe this medication is even used still in ER or hospital settings. Stick to safe nausea medications like Zofran (ondansetron). The only one I trust, even if it doesn't always work. At least it won't drive you to insanity."

"I take metoclopramide 10 mg dose, and I’m 3 months pregnant. I only take it when needed, and it works for me. It makes me a little drowsy after a few hours, but I normally only get sick when I eat sweets or drink something sweet my baby doesn’t agree with. As far as that, it works. I usually lay down after taking it, and I eat a small snack, but I would rather take it when I’m about to nap. I mostly use it after throwing up or eating food that’s not agreeing with me. However, it works for me!"

Metoclopramide "I was in the hospital for 'Hyperemesis Gravidarum,' severe morning sickness and was given 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."

"Please do not take! I wish someone had told me this, and I wish I had read the reviews. This drug, metoclopramide, gave me akathisia, something that I didn’t even know existed. This drug is poison. I couldn’t stop pacing, still restless, have horrible restless legs now, panic attacks constantly, anxiety. It’s been two months since, and still going."

Metoclopramide "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 have Crohn's disease and was prescribed metoclopramide a while ago for nausea. However, I've not felt nauseous for a while. Last night, I felt awful and remembered I had these tabs. I took one 10 mg tablet. It did stop the nausea and I didn't vomit, but I had the worst night's sleep with hallucinatory dreams, feelings of anxiety, and restlessness. I have been in bed all day today feeling drained but still restless."

Metoclopramide "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 I fell asleep and began having nightmares of suffocation. The nurse woke me, and I still couldn’t orient myself and just kept saying, “help me” over and over, my whole body jerking and my 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 badly 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 most horrible experiences of my life."

"I always have adverse reactions to metoclopramide! It causes me to feel restless, jittery, anxious, and vomit more, these effects last 24 hours. Zofran or Doxylamine for nausea and vomiting are better options for me that do not have those awful side effects and work well like they should!"

"This medicine works for me like a charm. I struggle with stomach ulcers at 21 years old. I take this medicine as needed by 10 mg tablets. I mostly use Zofran instead, but Reglan is only when my nausea is severe. I was first given it in IV when I went into the ER for really bad acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting. After that, they prescribed me this, and I love it. I personally don’t get side effects, maybe a little bit of drowsiness here and there, but what medicine doesn’t do that? It also helps my feeling of being full, I take it 30 minutes before eating. I then eat, and I’m able to digest my food fine instead of being full for 8 hours plus on a small portion of food."

Metoclopramide "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."

Metoclopramide "I was given Reglan for nausea for pregnancy, and within minutes I felt like I was going crazy. I was super jittery and sweating like a pig. I felt like ripping my IV out and running home. I couldn’t even pee. It took a few hours for it to go away, and it was horrible."

Metoclopramide "Was given Reglan to help with nausea from antibiotics and felt soon after taking it paranoia, anxiety, and like I wanted to die. This was totally uncharacteristic of me. I called the pharmacy and asked if this could be a side effect. She told me I may be having an allergic reaction and to take some Benadryl and call 911. I took the Benadryl and fell asleep. I didn't call 911. When I woke up, I was fine and back to normal. Have never taken Reglan again."

Metoclopramide "Last night, I was in the ER for nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Reglan was added after Zofran and meclizine didn’t totally resolve symptoms. Same as others, I experienced the worst agitation of my life. Screaming, thrashing, begging them to knock me unconscious. It was horrific. They gave me Ativan and Benadryl, eventually, I fell asleep. They said, oh, some people react this way. I can’t believe they continue to use a drug that does this."

Metoclopramide "Was in the 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 the 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."

Metoclopramide "Awful, I took metoclopramide for a migraine headache causing me to be extremely nauseous. I was on it for 2 days. I had hallucinations, tremors, the shakes, blurred vision, was seeing things, was unable to finish my sentences, and couldn't make words with speech, mania, swelling, numbness, hands are still too shaky to text and have any strength. This medication should be discontinued, it's that bad."

"I was first given Reglan after my third bowel obstruction surgery, and it worked very quickly. I was on it three times a day for three years. The long-term use caused nausea, 50 lb weight loss, visual disturbances, fatigue, Parkinson-like shaking, suicidal thoughts, and irritability. I would not recommend this to anyone."

Metoclopramide "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 at 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 losing 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 be a result of pregnancy because that first trimester is always hard."

"Given metoclopramide in hospital to control gastro and vomiting. Extreme panic attack, nurses ended up holding me down, which was traumatic. Never had this reaction to other drugs. Am anxious by nature, wish this had been considered during admission! But I was overseas."

"My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant and was prescribed Maxolon for morning sickness. A few hours after taking it, she had a feeling of anxiety and couldn't concentrate on anything. She was wandering aimlessly around the house, not knowing what to do. She would try to sit down but couldn't settle. Later that day, she experienced a full-blown panic attack. Couldn't breathe, trembling, cramps. She went straight to her doctor, who did not connect the symptoms to the medication. Her husband asked them to call the ambulance, however, the hospital did not make the connection either, sending her for a CT scan and blood tests. Over the next week or so, she was in a constant state of anxiety, unable to care properly for herself or her son. Unable to drive or be left alone. She had 2 more visits to her doctor, who diagnosed panic disorder and referred her to a psychologist. After doing our own research, she has stopped taking Maxolon and is beginning to feel normal again."

Metoclopramide "I'm not sure if Reglan is good or bad because when I take it, I still feel freaking sick, at other times, I'm good. I cried this morning because I feel like I have no relief from my morning sickness, I'm not having any more kids."

Metoclopramide "I went to urgent care because my nausea has been unmanageable. I don’t throw up all day like I did with my first born, but the nausea makes it impossible to really eat or even take sips of water. I threw up my water yesterday, and it was the final straw, sending me to UC. The doctor ordered 2L of NS and a Reglan push. I too felt like taking the IV out of my arm, but I was also uncomfortable and shaking because, of course, the NS doesn’t feel so comfortable entering your body. I felt pretty ill for 15 minutes, then I knocked out. Honestly, after, I felt way better. The nausea was nonexistent, and I actually had an appetite where I was craving foods again. I didn’t want to take Reglan, but I’ve tried all the tips and tricks one can do. I do not want to take it again just because I don’t like taking medication during pregnancy, but it really helped. Today I’m back to barely having any appetite, for both food and water."
