Meto fucked me up.

Do you take any meds regularly?
Any other known allergies?
It was an anaphylactic reaction.

No it wasnt. It was extrapyramydal syndrome. I get it from all psych meds and antiemetics, its crippling. Im never gonnause meto, Id rather take SN bare

Ok, so last month I decided it was finally time to take my meto/Ondansetron 48 hour regime. I decided on this one from wiki books:

Wiki author best option

Take 15 mg Metoclopramide every 8 hours, i.e. 3 times per day, starting 48 hours in advance.

Take the last dose Metoclopramide 45-60 min prior to cocktail ingestion along with 8-16 mg Ondansetron.

A few hours after taking the meto I noticed two symptoms:

1 - inability to sit still. I could not sit down or stand in one place which lead to me randomly pacing around my apartment for hours.
2 - my tongue and jaw seemed to have a mind of their own. My lower jaw kept wanting to go to the side and my tongue wanted to flex as hard as it could and stick out of my mouth.
Eventually my tongue started going up into the roof of my mouth and kinda of block off my breathing. I panicked and called 911 and explained what I had taken. Everyone from the 911 call person to paramedics and nurses/doctors chalked it up to an allergic reaction. I was skeptical but they gave me and epi pen and then pumped me full of benadryl. When they did that the symptoms completely stopped for a few hours, after which they came back and they would pump me with more benadryl and the symptoms would go away again. I was there for 12 hours until the symptoms stopped coming back. Thankfully meto is also a drug for gerd so when they asked me why I took it I just told them that. I'm still skeptical that it was an allergic reaction but the benadryl worked so... maybe? The doctors and nurses seemed to think so.

The whole experience freaked me out to the point that I just was sure that I didn't want to die any more and completely abandoned this website. Well now that I've calmed down I still want to die, but now I'm really worried about something going wrong and winding up in the hospital again. Meto is obviously out for me so what alternatives are there? Every source says meto is key, so what am I supposed to do?

So sorry this happened to you. I took meto last year and my stomach felt sick. I only took a few doses and I didn't experience symptoms like that.
I was hoping to get the courage to try the STAT method but I don't know how sick it will make me. I thought of taking it with some pepto… I don't know.
There is also Domperidone ... I don't know how it differs from Metos. I don't know how to get it either.
