Thread: Reglan

YES me too.? I took it for one week only and then had to get off.? It reallly made me depressed, and once I was off, my supply went ever lower than when I got on.? It sucked.

I was on Reglan from the time my son was 2 months to 12 months. What a mistake... I felt so pressured to do what was best for my son that I didn't think of myself. I knew the risks of depression but took it anyway. After a few months I was put on antidepressants. Up until that point I felt terrible, I was afraid to leave the house without my dh.

Honestly, I'm not surprised at all by any of this.? I work as an ER nurse and Reglan is used in the hospital setting for nausea and vomiting.? Reglan was once used as a frontline drug for nausea, but because of it's SEVERE side effects, it is often a second or third choice.? Obviously, I usually give the drug IV.? I have seen people have what is called a dystonic reaction, as well as a severe anxiety reaction to where they...

I took it through most of my pregnancy and didn't have any problems, but I've heard about all the side effects from several souces so they must be fairly common.?
