WWYD Pedi prescribed Reglan ...

We've been trying for weeks to try to get LO's AR under control, just went back today and pedi prescribed Reglan.  I'm not sure I want him taking it with all of the law suits popping up, but I also know adults that are on it and they're fine ... not sure that's a chance I want to take with LO though.  Thoughts??

    Maybe do some research into alternative medications. Even doctors aren't always aware of ALL the options and tend to prescribe what they are familiar with (which makes sense I guess). You may also want to look for a second opinion.

    I had some scary reactions to it while I was pregnant (an ER doc prescribed it to me after I came in dehydrated from morning sickness)--I personally would NOT give it to my child but that is based on my personal experiences--i agree w/ pp, ask if there are any other alternative meds and if not seek a second opinion

    I was on it for a little bit when I was pregnant (for morning sickness). It actually started making my mouth like, droopy and I would drool and slur my words. Two days of that and I thought it was Reglan and I stopped.... and it went away. I wouldn't give it to LO!!

    I had a pretty bad reaction to Reglan, and I would not want my child to take it.  I would definitely get a second opinion.  There are many other medications that can treat AR.

    I don't know anything about giving it to a baby but I was on it to increase my milk supply. I was VERY tired and restless (so I was exhausted but couldn't fall asleep). Right after I stopped taking it, I was fine.
