Reglan- WORST MED EVER

Today my sweet baby is 1 month old! YAY Happy Birthday baby girl!! And since she has been home I have not been able to produce much milk to actually feed her when she needs to be fed. I end up producing about 3 oz 2 times a day. She feeds more than that a day. Anywhoo, I talked to my Dr and he prescribed Reglan. Which was the worst medicane ever! I have NEVER in my life experienced such aweful side effects from a medicane like I did this one.

Around 2 am, after feeding Jade I layed her down in her crib and I got this aweful dizzy spell. I layed down and thought maybe I had gotten up too fast. So while I layed there I got another dizzy spell. By this point I was scared to death and was starting to sweat. I was having some sort of anxiety attack. I woke my husband up and he tended to me. I didnt know why this was happening to me. So I remembered that I was taking Reglan, and the side effects are...dizziness, drowsiness, anxiety etc...everything in the book that you can think of. My luck...I felt all of that .

Its about 8:00pm and I am starting to feel alot better now, I am tired and just a little weak, but I think its becase when you have an anxiety attack all your strengh gets drained! All I can say is if you know anyone who is having trouble lactating and their Dr. gives them this med....PLEASE....PLEASE tell them not to take this. I have looked up info on this med and it actually has long lasting side effects for those who have taking it longer.
