"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I was prescribed Reglan during my first pregnancy for hyperemesis gravidarum, and now I have to get an allergy band every time I go for medical treatment. Within half an hour, I began to experience uncontrollable muscle spasms, and although I only took this medication once in the morning, the spasms did not completely go away for a full 12 hours. During this time, I felt extremely nervous - like I wanted to unzip my skin and run away. Reglan did absolutely nothing to curb my extreme nausea and vomiting. Thankfully, my baby was unaffected."

"I was given this drug Reglan while I was in labor. I was vomiting every 2-3 contractions and felt awful. Prior to receiving the medication, I was very calm and taking deep breaths through my contractions. Within minutes of receiving the IV Reglan, I had a HUGE anxiety attack and began flipping out, saying that I couldn’t do this anymore, just take the baby out. I was literally alligator rolling on the bed. I was in a full-blown panic attack. It took my husband and the nurse 10 minutes to calm me down, and I was still vomiting during contractions. The rest of my labor went fine, and I didn’t panic at any other point."

"I was given Reglan while pregnant to help with nausea/vomiting. While it helped with nausea, I felt like I was going crazy. Could not sleep, couldn’t sit still, my mind was racing. It was terrible. I immediately stopped taking it. I would have rather dealt with the nausea than feel that way."

"I received this medication for nausea while 39 weeks pregnant. I initially received Zofran, and when that didn’t work, they gave me Reglan. I was not informed of the side effects I would feel. I have really bad anxiety when it comes to side effects after receiving Benadryl through IV 2 years ago. My IV site was infiltrated, and the Benadryl leaked into my bloodstream. Since then, I’m anxious about receiving anything other than fluids through IV. Anyway, they gave me the Reglan. After 10 mins, I was inconsolable. I couldn’t find a comfortable spot. I started to breathe faster, I felt under the influence almost. An extreme panic attack. I was trying to keep myself from shaking. I got chills. I told my husband to hug me (he usually does this when I have an anxiety-induced attack). He had to hug me for 15 minutes. If he let go, I just kept getting up and down. I wanted to cry, I felt like screaming, I felt like jumping out of my own skin. I kept telling myself to relax. It was crazy."

"Went to the ER May 6th for nausea and heaving plus stomach pains. Was given Reglan and Pepcid to take. Saturday, May 8th, I went back to the ER because I was having stroke-like symptoms. Found out that it was the Reglan that had caused every symptom that I had: face droop, unable to talk, etc. I will never take Reglan again."

"I’m 10 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with severe nausea and vomiting for the past 4 weeks. Throwing up almost every meal, and I was severely dehydrated. My OB friend recommended Unisom 25 mg nightly and B6 25 mg 3x a day, but it did not work. If anything, I just threw it up after I took it. She then prescribed me Reglan. Good heavens, it definitely has been a godsend. I’ve taken two doses the past two days now, and I have not thrown up. There’s still some slight nausea, but it’s better than not having to run to the bathroom 10 times a day to vomit."

"I had surgery on my nose and was given Reglan afterwards because of nausea. This was a terrible mistake. I immediately felt jittery and so restless, like I could run a marathon. Thankfully, I was still tired, so I fell asleep not long after. A few months later, I went to the ER after vomiting all night, and the nurse injected something into my IV without telling me exactly what it was, and I got the same feelings all over again. They had to give me something to reverse it, and this time I asked for the name of the drug so I can make sure it’s never given to me again."

"The worst experience in my life. I went in for a flare-up from my IBS, the RN gave me Reglan through my IV, and immediately I felt suicidal! I never wanted to escape my own body in my entire life. Reglan gave me the worst anxiety possible. I wouldn’t recommend this medication at all. It’s a very, very scary experience."

"I went to the ER for non-stop vomiting, and they gave me Reglan through the IV. I was already sitting in the room, waiting to be treated for 3 hours, so I was already annoyed, but once they administered the Reglan and left me there for what would’ve been more hours, I felt like I was going insane. Never in my life have I felt so manic, I called my husband, stuttering to him, saying, “I’m gonna rip the IV out of my arm! I have to get out of this hospital!” So he told me to calm down, and maybe someone would come check on me, but an hour passed, and I finally lost it and dialed the nurse to discharge me from the hospital ASAP. I felt so embarrassed and kept saying, “I don’t know why I feel like this,” but I was too restless, and my anxiety was literally making me crazy. They never warned me of any side effects."

"I have Crohn's Disease and nothing ever worked for my nausea. I tried Zofran for months, but I was having debilitating nausea. Finally, my GI gave me pill form 5mg of Reglan as needed and I was functioning again and eating. It makes me hungry if I haven't eaten when I take it, and that helps with the loss of appetite. At first, I was tired but not too bad."

"I was given this medication while I was in the ER with food poisoning. It made me feel like I was crawling out of my skin with anxiety. It was like having the worst panic attack ever that I couldn't escape. My heart was racing, and I felt like I was going to die. The nurse came in and gave me some Benadryl, saying that reaction sometimes occurs with that medication. It made me go to sleep, and it was such a relief."

"16-year-old daughter got this prescribed for her nausea at a children’s hospital. Two days later, severe allergic reaction - her neck and back started arching and she couldn’t control it. Ambulance took her to the hospital. They gave her Benadryl, which was the antidote. Doc said she suffered acute dystonia because of Reglan and its combining with Prozac did not help at all."

"I was given this drug in the ER because I was puking and having pain in my stomach, it was the scariest experience of my life. As soon as the medicine was injected into me, I felt like I was in another world. I genuinely thought I was going to die. I had an extreme panic attack. They gave me morphine too, so a few minutes later I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was okay. But I’ll never take this again, I made them put it on my allergy list."

"I was in the ER for hyperemesis gravidarum. I could not hold anything down. I was admitted into the hospital and was given 5 mg of Reglan every 6 hours through IV. It definitely helped with my nausea. However, it made me extremely restless and I could not sleep for 3 days while in the hospital, and I take Seroquel 200 mg also. I do think it was a combination of not being comfortable in the hospital and the Reglan because I slept at home once I’m out with the pill form. But, I’ve been spacing the Seroquel and Reglan hours apart and not at the same time because I do think it definitely contributes to the Seroquel not being as effective since Reglan is made to empty your stomach and to process things better. Taking them at the same time was not as effective for sleep. I have a history of mental illness but take medication that helps, so I think I didn’t have many mental side effects because of that. Reglan is known to cause tremors, shakes, etc. Especially with other certain meds."

"Have been on Reglan over 1 year. With Reglan, I am again able to participate in physical activity without vomiting and nausea afterwards. Last week, the doctor said we still don't know why when I get overheated or stressed, I vomit, get light-sensitive, nausea, etc. Put me on Zofran, blah, feel like rubbish with a constant headache now. What do I do."

"I took this drug to combat hyperemesis. Very severe vomiting and nausea during my second pregnancy. My doctors refused to give me anything to treat hyperemesis during my first pregnancy, and they may have been right. I had such severe nausea and vomiting that I was sick all day, every day, and vomited at minimum 10 times a day. So when I went to the ER and was given IV fluids, Zofran, and a prescription for Reglan, I thought it was a cure. Little did I know the toll it would take on my mental health: racing thoughts. I tried stopping Reglan one month after beginning it and was okay for a few days, but the nausea came back with a vengeance. I started taking it again but just couldn’t shake the feeling of being unwell and depression. So I finally stopped taking it after about 4 months on the medication. It’s only been a few days, but I’m depressed and still not feeling 100 percent. There is no winning. If I don’t eat, I hurt my baby, and if I take this medicine, I have another hurt."
