Yes, I can tell you about it. ![]() I took it for many months for my GI problems. It actually is a dopamine agonist - it increases dopamine (increases prolactin). I took it because I have slow stomach emptying and I needed help getting my stomach to heal. It interfered with my endocrine studies, so my doctors wanted me off as soon as my stomach was healed. I was on the drug almost 9 months. Symptomatic Gastroesophageal Reflux reglan� tablets are indicated as short-term (4 to 12 weeks) therapy for adults with symptomatic, documented gastro-esophageal reflux who fail to respond to conventional therapy. The principal effect of metoclopramide is on symptoms of postprandial and daytime heartburn with less observed effect on nocturnal symptoms.If symptoms are confined to particular situations, such as following the evening meal, use of metoclopramide as single doses prior to the provocative situation should be considered, rather than using the drug throughout the day. Healing of esophageal ulcers and erosions has been endoscopically demonstrated at the end of a 12-week trial using doses of 15 mg q.i.d.As there is no documented correlation between symptoms and healing of esophageal lesions, patients with documented lesions should be monitored endoscopically. Diabetic Gastroparesis (Diabetic Gastric Stasis) reglan� tablets (metoclopramide tablets, USP) is indicated for the relief of symptoms associated with acute and recurrent diabetic gastric stasis. The usual manifestations of delayed gastric emptying (e.g., nausea, vomiting, heartburn, persistent fullness after meals, and anorexia) appear to respond to reglan� within different time intervals.Significant relief of nausea occurs early and continues to improve over a three-week period.Relief of vomiting and anorexia may precede the relief of abdominal fullness by one week or more.

http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/metoclo_wcp.htm I personally think you need to not take this drug until your endocrinologist gets you figured out and stabilized and you discuss this treatment protocol with him.![]() I know my doctors were pretty much "hands up in the air" with me until my stomach healed enough to where I could stop the drug and resume testing.![]() Minnie |
