The amazing smile has been diminishing because of the stares, reminders to stop blinking. As a new mom I trusted doctors to guide me and help my infant baby with acid reflux. If I only new back then what I know now. What options do I have now?A lawsuit, dragging my kid through countless doctor appointments, trying to prove something that is obvious. We would be victimized even more because they have very powerful team of lawyers on their side that would do anything to protect pharmaceutical industry and their own self interest. I'm sorry if my post is demoralizing but I had to vent and this seemed like the right place. the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen have been blinking uncontrollably.

A few months into taking the medication, I noticed her fingertips seemed to be slightly bending upwards and downwards. I had her tested for RA and had her thyroid checked which all came back normal. I just got back from taking her to Shriners and someone there mentioned about how long she had been on this medication before I noticed the "deformity" in her fingers. Her fingers have gotten much worse, which is why I took her to Shriners. Nothing was said after that and, on the long drive home, that stuck in my mind. Could it have something to do with the metoclopramide?? Any replies will be soo very welcomed! My now 17 year old daughter has been on Metoclopramide for about 1-1/2 years for acid reflux.

I began to develop muscle pain and weakness, twitching around my eyes and face and sometimes my hands, which has only grown worse as I get older. I developed a tremor in my neck that makes me look as though I am shaking my head no when I am not. After reading all of this I totally believe it is from this drug. I have never been tested for Tardive Dyskensia and I do not have the intense facial tics that have been referenced to in this article but I do have severe muscle and joint pain, swelling in my joints and the neck tremor that no Dr can find the reason why. I do not have arthritis or anything like that which would cause the muscle and joint pain either. It amazes me that the FDA approves all these things and years later this is what happens and yet they will tell you not to use herbal remedies because they are not FDA approved. The herbals have helped me and my family far more and with no side effects. Think about it...if we all began to use natural meds to cure and help ourselves the drug companies would be loosing millions but so many less of us would be coming up with things like this and/or dying from the chemical poison in prescription drugs the FDA has put their stamp of approval on.

She took it for 3 months. Apparently it was long enough to cause Tardive Dyskensia and she battles face grimacing, eye blinking, tongue protrusion, neck twisting, off and on. It does come and go, but we are concerned it will get worse over time. Do any of you that have TD notice it gets worse and has anyone had it go away?

He is actually quite smart. We home school because he is at a 2nd grade level with most work and 4th grade with reading. We have been told he may have sensory deprivation issues that came from his early birth and those complications. I just wonder now if anything he is experinceing is from the taking of Raglan.

I was prescribed metroclaprimide after each meal and at bedtime, after years of use these symptoms began. Shaking of my hands, on and off, I seem to groundout sometimes or yhey only shake when I.m touching one hand to the other, then oneday my right hand started to shake the arm until the entire appedage was flaying around like a fish our of water, tried holding it down with the other arm, didn't do a thing, that has happened twicw and hasn/t reoccured for several months. It's real hard at times to use my mouse to click a box, sometimes I can't get a syringe in to my bottle of insulin and often when I'm eating the fork will shake so much on it's way to my mouth it shakes worse until I have to snap at my bite like a animal. There are some other symptoms but these are the most disabling it's only started about 6 months ago. Dear Victums

I was on effexor and I became very sick and developed serotonin syndrome and almost died. I was taken off the medication immediately but since then I have developed seizures, migraines and a constant body twitching especially when I tried to sleep or relax. I have seen specialist and no one has yet diagnosed me. I have even been quoted to be voluntarily doing these movements. I never sleep and my life has not been the same since all of this. I cannot work and I seem to have developed extreme weakness and memory loss. I know this is from the reglan. But how do I get someone to believe me?? I am so frustrated!!

As all infants have jerky movements of their limbs I worry if this will continue with her... I have noticed my arms and legs I move them constantly along with tapping my teeth..

It seems to have moved to different parts of his face and upper arms and wrists. At age three weeks he was prescribed Reglan for reflux and projectile vomiting. He took it for a few months, in his bottle, and then he didn't need it anymore. I wonder if him taking it at such a young age would have a greater effect on him? He is 18 years old now and has dealt with this all his life. Doctors have said it is just a nervous habit so I never pursued it any further.
