My baby girl turned 1 month on July 30th! I took her to the Dr. for her Well Baby, she is now 9lbs 3 oz what a big girl!! She is growing perfectly. She is on her every 3 hr feedings...however come night time, she doesnt wake up as often. She wakes up 2-3 times a night and thats it. She lets mommy and daddy sleep! YAY. She is now eating 3 1/2 oz. I have been giving her formula, since I have not been able to produce enough milk supply. I end up pumping about 6oz only.
I ended up going to my OBGYN and he prescribed this medicane called Reglan. Unfortunalty for me this was the worst medicne I have ever taken. It has aweful side effects. I started taking it on a Monday and fortunatley for me I only took 2 or 3 a day other than the 4 daily that it said to take, come Wednesday at 3am, after feeding her I almost fell back, because I got such a strong dizzy spell. I ended up getting about 4 more spells that morning along with a panic attack. Thankfully I was only on it for 3 days. However the side effects really scared me so bad that I ended up going to the ER because I was so scared of the dizzy spells, the weakness and the nausea.
The Dr said that it was out of my system, however mentally this aweful drug affected me. Yesterday I was scared to be in Babies R Us...but I managed to control it. I think that along with the med, I have been sleep deprived and have not been eating 3 meals a day, nor do I snack. So I believe it also played a big part in me feeling the weakness and dizziness. I am now feeling better, but I will start sleeping early and eating right. I will learn to relax and not get stressed over the smallest things. To avoid anything like this.
So, if you or anyone you know have been precribed this crap....DO NOT TAKE IT! It has horrible side effects and it also leaves you shaken up after a few days. I was talking to a lady that took it for the same reason I did and with in a few hours she said she felt like jumping out of her building! STUPID DRUG!!!
