I have been sick since pill 3 of 40. I want to vomit just to get this stuff out of my system. I called the DDS and pharmacy this morning, ( no recall as yet ) because I can not take any more runs to the bathroom, gas, chest pains and upset stomach. | Add Reglan review It worked great. After taking this medication a number of years ago, my mother has now been diagnosed with Parkinson's dementia. The neurologist seems to think it was most probably brought on by Reglan use. Reglan makes me feel like I am druged out.I can't seem to shake the sleepy feeling off. My wife has been taking Reglan for 6 weeks. Now she suffered from depression, axiety, insomnia, dry mouth and weight loss. She has stop taking Reglan for two weeks now and the side effects still there. It's a horriable medicine and should be off the market. Don't use Reglan. DO NOT take this drug. It crosses the blood-brain barrier which causes neurological problems. I experienced tardive dyskenesia: twitching of muscles in my face, mouth, feet. The foot twitching has lasted years. I became depressed and unable to function normally. INSTEAD, take DOMPERIDONE, which does NOT cross the blood-brain barrier. You can get it from Canada. It works GREAT with NO side effects ... | |||
