Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have a question for everyone. Has anyone had a severe reaction to Reglan? I was put on it because my stomach wasn't emptying properly. I took my 1st dose Tues at 6am and then my 2nd dose at 11:30am. My daughter had a doctor appt. and at 1:30pm I started feeling anxious, smothered, and very sleepy. I went back to work at 3:30pm and by 5:00pm I was on my way home. I told my daughter that I just didn't feel right when we were leaving the parking garage where I work. 15 minutes down the road during rush hour I suddenly started shaking uncontrollable and couldn't breath. I pulled off the interstate and my daughter called 911. She is 15years old and she was very calm and directed the ambulance to where we were. When the ambulance got to me my resperations were 70 and my bp was 147/94. I didn't have hives but I looked like I had a sunburn on my chest. My daughter told me my face and hands were white, I had no color at all. The ambulance guy strapped me down because I was shaking so much that he asked me if I thought I was going to have a seizure. I have epilepsy but I didn't think I was. The er doc would not give me anything to counter act the reaction but just kept in the ER until the symptoms went away. I was there for 3hours and was well enough to go home. I still felt bad the next day. The doctor said it would take 24hrs for the drug to get out of my system completely. Has anyone ever reacted like this to medication. I was told it is very rare to react like that to Reglan. Sincerly, Patty Duley, Office Coordinator L.
