[blparent] Nursing and not sleeping through the night.

Fri Jun 1 04:32:24 UTC 2012

When I saw the mention of the drug reglan, my skin started to crawl.  My
wife, Linda, was on it for a while due to GI problems, and she got into big
trouble.  I've seen commercials down here for lawyers trying to line up
plaintiffs for lawsuits against the company which made the stuff.
Interestingly enough, when Linda mentioned her issues with reglan to the M.D
who prescribed it, he said it was all her imagination.

Metoclopramide became popular in the late 1990s after its predecessor,
Cisapride, was found to cause serious side effects. Unfortunately for many
patients who had already begun to take metoclopramide, a study published in
2004 found the medication could cause a movement disorder known as tardive
dyskinesia.
These symptoms were more likely to occur in older female patients who had
taken the drug for an extended period of time, but others taking the drug
were at risk as well. This ultimately led to action by the Food and Drug
Administration, requiring a "black box" warning on all packages of Reglan.

        I'm wondering this too.
And I'd say this is a public health issue, especially if these side-effects
are not being openly shared with consumers.

I'm wondering, Angie, about what drug you took that had side effects.  Write
me off list if you want, and if it's none of my business, feel free to say
that as well.  But I had serious issues with a drug, also, and I'm just
curious if it's the same one.  If it is, my heart goes out to you.
