High-Risk Pregnancy

Reglan: Did You/Would You Take It?

XP from my BMB:

I've had gastroparesis ("lazy stomach") for a few years and have managed it ok with small/liquid meals, yoga, massage, etc. It hasn't bothered me during pregnancy until now. I had a flare up over the weekend that landed me in the ER with severe pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. My MFM has recommended that I start taking Reglan to improve my stomach motility. That would be great, but the black box warning for Tardive Dyskenesia makes me wonder if this is really a good idea. Reglan had been well-studied in pregnancy as a treatment for nausea and vomiting, and it is considered safe for the fetus, but I'm worried about the long-term effects for me.

Has anyone taken this drug or another that could have very bad side effects (not necessarily during pregnancy), and how did you decide that it was worth the risk?
