My mother died 17 years ago from complications of a broken hip fall caused by her Parkinson disease. Her medication included Reglan, the drug called Mellaril, and a medication for Parkinson’s symptoms. I always felt that all the meds had something to do with her death. She was 74 at the time of her death. One month after her fall.

I took Reglan after I had my son for increased milk supply. I have not experienced any of the mentioned side effects, at least not on a regular basis. I would not consider myself a candidate for this. However, I would be very interested to know if any children have experienced any problems due to the medication being in breast milk. I have not researched the drug profile for this medication, but I can imagine that with any drug, some amounts of it must be present in breast milk. Even if it is small amounts, it must be present to some degree. I am just suggesting that it would merit research to looking into how this may or may not have affected infants that were breastfed while their mother’s were prescribed Reglan. I am fortunate and have not noticed any negative side effects of this medication in me or my child. But we need to be advocates for those that have been negatively affected.

I took Reglan for several of my pregnancies, and for milk-supply postpartum, and I have developed an irritating eyebrow tic that is distracting and irritating. Is this possibly from Reglan? My doctors never told me about these side effects, and I definately would not have put myself at risk had I known!
