Discussion I read about metoclopramide's side effects and some of them are making me anxious

[Sphinx]

I read about dystonia and other side effects, how common are those symptoms and do they last for the duration of the drug or do they persist? especially the neurological stuff.

Ahh this is the antiemetic meto?
If used as directed there should be little side effects other that some possible common ones, wouldnt worry about it.
If used outside of directions then you can expect to have some side effects but this is only mainly used along side other substances to stop you throwing up, at least for members of this site. That being the case id say dont worry bout the side effects.

I have used meto for my condition for years. Those side effects can only come after using it daily for more than 12 weeks. I have never noticed side effects from meto, but I've only taken up to 20mg at a time.

Side effects are usually there because once upon a time they occurred so legally must be mentioned in most cases. I wouldn't worry about them, however if I were you I'd try a test dose a day before or so. When you use it with your chosen method of CTB it won't matter afterwards if you experience side effects from a second dose because you'll no longer be around

Unless you've taken a massive dose, or if you're super unlucky to be one of those who are prone to the EP side effects, it shouldn't be a problem

All anti emetics that are suitable for overdoses have a risk of such side effects from what I'm aware, there are 3 different strengths, less risk of vomiting = greater risk of EPS and that's why meto is usually suggested because it's the mid strength and best compromise.
