Has anyone ever had a bad reaction to Reglan (Metoclopramide)? How long did it last?

Or do you know about reactions to Reglan: feelings of impending doom, shudders, feelings of flight, severe panic episodes. And how long do they last? Can they keep coming back?
Answers:
The side effects shouldn't last long. I've never heard of Reglan being prescribed for anxiety (usually this is listed as a side-effect), but then I don't claim to know everything. It's usually prescribed for nausea, since it causes to the stomach to empty into the small intestine more quickly, and also strengthens the lower espoph. sphincter. If you continue to have anxiety like symptoms bring this to the attention of your physician, it may be due to something else.
My doctor prescribed Reglan to me when I was having the severe panic episodes and the other things you mentioned. I didn't have any reaction to the drug, however, I slept a lot. I'd suggest that if you are having these symptoms while taking it, you need to contact your doctor to have him prescribe something else. I, personally, had the same reactions that you've mentioned when he tried me on Zoloft. I also had worse symptoms with Effexor.I had a seizure while taking it. I now take Lexapro and Klonopin, and they are working very well. Good luck!
