Reglan poll...

I was on Reglan several months & it was helping but during a Mannograph my breasts were leaking (which had never happened), so went to my primary Dr. & she questioned the Reglan gave me a blood test & my Prolatin was high. She took me off of the Reglan for a month gave me another blood test & Mannograph & the prolatin was ok also the Mannograph!

A Dr. had given me a endoscope that's when he found out my stomach was emptying slowly. He found out Elival was doing it. That's why he put me on Reglan.

So I am off the Reglan but still on Elival for the fibromyalgia (sleeping).

I took Reglan for about a year because I was waking up choking almost everynight. I never woke up choking while on Reglan, it really worked. I have since stopped and have not had the choking problem, but I take Zelnorm and Nexium so maybe those together help...I have taken Nexium since it was on the market and Prilosec before that.

I am staunchly opposed to Reglan due to its potential side effects.  Sounds like you're aware of them already, but if not, do a web search to find info on numerous lawsuits against the manufacturers of the drug.  If Reglan is being prescribed for motility probs, there are other options available, among these Zelnorm and Erythromycin (in tab or the more effective liquid version).  Unfortunately, these alternatives do not tighten the LES as Reglan sometimes does.  When Reglan is being prescribed for nausea, there are even more alternative options.  I allowed Reglan to be administered to me once -- through IV -- when I wound up in the ER for serious heartburn, bloating, and vomiting.  No side effects, but once again that was a one shot deal.  Good luck in your decision making process.
