Global Patient Feedback for Reglan
Please see our forum guidelines.
I have been taking the generic form of this for GERD after an endoscopy and to help with nausea. it seems to help but worry about having long term affects after I'm able to stop maybe after another endoscopy if my esphogeous heals. I only want to know if feeling nervous and shaky and also Vertigo are possible side effects from this drug. I keep falling or feel like the floor is tipping side to side and in the shower feels like and looks like I'm rocking in a boat. When I wash my face or hair my head gets dizzy. This just started maybe a few weeks or so after starting this new drug.

I have used Reglan and its generic for over 10 years with no problems. When I miss a dose I know it by the burning sensation I used to have. I have used it with both SOMA and PROZAC and experienced none of the adverse reactions listed on the site.
