Anyone take Reglan? How’s it working for you?I deal with occasional nausea, constipation, heartburn and gas.My Dr. prescribed this medication and also wants me on Protonix. I was taking protonic’s a few months back however it made my symptoms worse. Doctor says the Reglan will help all the above symptoms. I’ve been reading up on the side effects and it makes me very nervous to take it. Thoughts? Experiences? Thank you

@achula1 I have post operative gastroparesis for the last 5 years.. I had a Nissen surgery in Central Iowa...that was supposed to reduce GERD.. it made it worse.. and gave me this slow emptying stomach because of damaged nerves around the stomach.. Mayo MN diagnosed it.. and gave me a way to cope.. My GI doctor at Mayo prescribed 2 meds.. a generic Nexium.. and Mirtazapine ... Mirtazapine is a anti-depressant that he said would help me think I needed to eat more.. I have been on it for 4+ years now .. no problems.. I still have a lot of intestinal gas and all the problems with gastroparesis, but I have gained back some over half of the 50 pounds lost at the beginning of gastroparesis ..
My son took Reglan many years back with BAD Results.. made behavior erratic.. It was then explained that it has varied effects on different folks..

Hi @achula1, I added to your title to reflect the question you wish to ask the group and to distinguish it from this related discussion:

In addition to @ken82's feedback, I'd also like to bring @katmandoo and @darlia into this conversation as they have experience with Raglan.

Achula, am I correct in understanding that your doctor is recommending both Raglan and Protonix, but you haven't started either yet?

I tried Reglan twice in the past, and had some serious mood problems after taking. Go here.....
