   reglan weird side effect (Acid Reflux board)

14th February 2008
I wouldn't discount anything as an effect of Reglan. I do believe the bladder is ALSO connected to the autonomic nervous system (ANS), so it could be affected by anything affecting that system/GI system.

Reglan works on the ANS, so don't put anything past it as far as causing problems.

It gave me severe heart palpitations and racing heart the week after I started it at minimum normal dosage. The heart rate/skipping is also controlled by the ANS (directly from the vagus nerve).

I'd insist that it probably IS the Reglan. Go to another doctor, and stop the med's in the meantime unless you're so badly off GI-wise you can't handle it.

I really appreciate alllllll of your replies. It is the craziest thing. I didn't take it last night. As you said, it has got to be the reglan. It just has to. And, I can survive without taking it. What about Nexium? Has anyone gained weight with Nexium? I gained about 20 pounds when I first started taking it. Then another 10 when they upped my dose to two a day. Is that just a coincidence?

AGAIN, thank you for your help.

In July 2007 I had a severe case of food poisoning that landed me in the ER. To stop the nausea and vomiting - they gave me Reglan IV -- they also gave me Benadryl IV - which the nurse said can help to counteract some of the more unwanted side effects of Reglan (she said feeling like you want to jump out of your own skin or the need to 'just get out of here').

It did help a lot with the nausea and stopped the vomitting - they sent some home with me and instructed me to take oral Benadryl with it each time I had a dose.

Hope this helps someone!

i began taking nexium and reglan at the same time. reglan at dinner and bed and nexium in the morning. but in the evening i would get horrible cramping pains. i stopped the reglan and they got a little better but when i stopped the nexium they went away completely.... still unsure which drug caused the horrible cramping

Reglan turned me into a crazy person. It made me feel like I didnt fit in my own skin... Stopped taking it and within 6 hours I was back to normal. Reglan is evil to me...
