  • Tremors
  • Tardive dyskinesia (see below)

  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Rapid breathing
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Hallucinations
  • Mental/mood changes
  • Seizure
  • Jaundice 

Tardive Dyskinesia

Patients are most prone to tardive dyskinesia, or uncontrolled muscle movements in the face, tongue and extremities, when Reglan is taken for more than 12 weeks or if they are elderly.  Tardive dyskinesia cannot be treated, but occasionally the cessation of the medicine intake can decrease or eliminate the symptoms.
