I was wondering if any of you have had this problem with Reglan either with yourself or with one of your patients. I was scheduled for a relatively short procedure last week and was given Reglan IVP prior to the procedure. About 5 minutes later, I completely freaked out, and became restless and agitated. I wanted off the stretcher, wanted to take my IV out, I did not want to be there. The anesthesiologist said that sometimes this happens to people. It felt like I was having a panic attack. They gave me Benadryl IV but that didn't seem to help either. Needless to say, I had to reschedule my procedure because I couldn't go through with it. It took about 8 hours to really feel normal.
I am feeling very hesitant about going through with the procedure again because this happened. I'm wondering if I could just tell them to forget the Reglan next time.
