Your experiences with Reglan?

I guess I am one of the lucky few that has no ill effects from it. I have been taking it for 12 years and have absolutely no side effects from it.  I had nausea that wouldnt' go away, I lived on zofran 4 times per day and reflux that had been corrected with surgery had come back.  Once I went on the reglan, the nausea and the reflux went away.  I swear by the stuff.  I never new about the lawsuits or ill effects until I read about them on these boards.

I also seem to be one of the lucky few.  While I was in the hospital after my leak was found I was put on it and conintued to take it until my leak repair.  I guess maybe nine months?  I never noticed any difference in my feelings OR what it was supposed to treat, so maybe I'm just a freak of nature.

I'm not sure what to tell you, that's a personal decision.  Myself, I would probably try it for a day or two and see how things went.  If nothing adverse happened I would continue it.  If it's not for you, there's your answer.  He/She didn't happen to give you some samples?  It would be a lot easier not to have to shell out for a script and then not be able to take the medication.

Hope you're better soon.

Thanks, everyone.  I'm going to try the other combinations that were recommended in the other thread, and see where that takes me before I try the Reglan.

I know this is a bit late but I just found this..

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.. I was only given it during surgeries (3 separate surgeries at that) via IV.  I DO have Tardive dyskinesia as a result of it. There is no cure for this and treatment is very difficult because each person needs something different.(they have yet to stop or control mine)  Yes I am involved in a class action lawsuit against them. Attorney's and Dr's are just trying to determine if it was Phenagren or Reglan that caused it as I was given both of them at the same time. It has destroyed my neurological system. I have some days that are better then others. It has made each day unpredictable. I never know if it will consume me for the day, 10 min or none at all.   Here is a link to the video's of me during an episode.

I was given reglan while hospitalized, I broke out in a rash, couldn't stand anything on my body. Ran a fever.  I couldn't sit still and felt like I could jump out the window also.  It took what seemed like forever for the nurse to listen to me that it was driving me crazy.  It is now on my list of medicines that I'm allergic to.  I feel for anyone who has taken this medicine.
