Reglan
Sep 17th, 2012 at 2:23am
 
Had to go to the ER last week because abortive's did not get me lower than a K7. They injected me with an anti-inflammatory and it did no good, then they gave me a shot of Reglan and with in 20 min's I was down to a K2 and stayed that way. Anyone ever use Reglan or heard anything about it?  I had never heard of it's use for headaches before then, and am curious how a drug designed for stomach issues helps with neurological pain.  Ahhhh the wonders of the human body and pharmaceuticals!

Don't know where they came up with that one. Looks like it can be pretty nasty if used a lot.

Reglan is used to prevent nausea when giving other IV drugs.

Unusual choice.  On the other hand, it looks like quite a bit of time had passed from when you started with abortives, saw it wasn't working, gone to the ER, tried an anti-inflammatory, saw its results, was given the Reglan, and another 20 minutes.  Hard to say if it was effective or if the hit was subsiding and the Reglan's effect presented itself on the hit's diminishing side.

I was in an inpatient headache program and was given Reglan as an anti-nausea, before DHE IV. Can't say it was any help to my CH. I hope it is helping you.
