Yesterday was my third colonoscopy.  I felt headachy and nauseated from the prep, lack of sleep, etc.  After my IV was placed, I was given IV reglan for the nausea.  Within 6-8 min I became very restless, and uncomfortable, feeling I could not go through with the procedure.  I became anxious and told the staff to take out the IV, that I couldn't go through with it.  They walked me around and calmed my down enough to have the procedure.  I have never felt that way before.  I couldn't lay still, I was still nauseated, I was extremely anxious, it was really unpleasant.  I did end up having the scope and feely pretty lousy today, tired and nauseated, but calm and "normal feeling."  Has anyone else had this experience with IV Reglan?  Thanks. ---

Did they put you under with the IV sedation. I was put under with a general anesthesia... Kinda nervous about the upcoming procedure, but then I was 'out' and woke up awhile later... Kinda groggy but ok. ---

Hi Marlene. Thanks for your reply. This all happened before I had the IV sedation. Once I was calm enough to agree to the procedure, I had the usual sedation and was fine.  I'm thinking it was the Reglan for the nausea I had a little earlier. I won't use that again! ---

lol I totally understand, I often feel like I could use something to calm me, so that I don't fear the general anesthesia. Does get a bit ridiculous on my part. The Dr's have their hands full with me.
