Is Reglan bad? I saw where someone said it wasn't worth the risk?? I'm taking it 4x daily. Any thoughts?

I was given Reglan in the hospital and took it once while at home. I was very afraid of the known side effects (depression) but it didn't seem to bother me. Lan2k has posted about the side effects alot. I also was seeing commercials on TV about law suits, so I didn't want to take it.

I took it temporarily, and found that it made me extremely sleepy.

The side effect of Tardive Dyskinesia is the one that's all over the TV and radio right now from the ambulance chaser attorneys. I'm not sure how much of a concern it is if you're only on it temporarily.

I was switched off Reglan and Phenegran because they both made me sleep so much. My surgeon switched me to Zofran, and it was fabulous for nausea and no sleepiness.

I was on a pretty high dose of Reglan for about 7 days while I was hospitalized with severe nausea. My doctor said that was pushing his time limit to be on it because of the side effects. Luckily, I didnt have any from using it.

We recommend our patients take it no more than 6 wks because this is when the extra-pyramidal side effects begin to appear ie tardive dyskinesia, tremors, facial twitching etc. which by the way isn't reversible. I've been on Reglan since my surgery 18 days ago but I will be weaning myself in the next wk or so. Unlike Zofran or Phenergan, Reglan increases the movement in the GI track which helps me with the foamies/slimies.

he prescribed me reglan after my surgery and i took it for a few days and didnt need it anymore, then when i got really sick they put me back on it and ive been taking it along side some other meds and the combo is working for me. i havent had any problems.

I had an awful reaction from it. I was extremely jumpy (wanted to run out of the room), facial twitches, etc. I put it on my "allergic to" list because there is no way I ever want that in my body ever again.

Hi everyone,

I started to use zofran on my 5th month of pregnancy thru labor.Never had any problems with it and my child is healthy.I will be loading up on it in Mexico because of the cost of it here in the states.It worked for me and i stand by it.:001_unsure:
