Metoclopramide side efects even in one dose can continue in the long term

It's scary to read people's comments

"I work in healthcare. I save lives everyday. I was prescribed Reglan in the passed for morning sickness dr pregnancy, with restlessness as a minor side effect BUT this time about one year later, I took only 3 tabs total and now I feel like I'm having a heart attack and anxiety attack, a fearful feeling of trapped and a need to pace and walk fast to "walk off" the anxiety! Depression is a major sides effect. was a perfectly fine, healthy no major medical history AND this pill has ruined my life....!"

I'm starting to think that the panic and tachycardia of the SN method might come from metoclopramide. I think it should be replaced by another/other antiemetics.

The tachycardia and panic doesn't come from the metoclopramide. Those are effects you'll have regardless of whether you take meto or not.

Imagine a city where 2 million people live and each of the 2 million people have a dice of 3 trillion sides and everyone of them tosses the dice at the same moment and it lands in the same number. What are the chances of its happening? Mathematically, 1/ 10 to the power 147 trillion. That is the probability of being alive in this universe. Suicide doesn't eliminate problems of life it eliminates the chances of it ever getting better.

Op, you are stressing yourself out over nothing, there is absolutely no evidence to demonstrate that Meto causes tachycardia and panic when it's been more consistent as a symptom of SN ingestion more than anything else. You'll have Tachycardia from SN which does induce a respose panic where most people call for help at that point.

What does this have to do with the post at all?

In 600 comments, almost all mention anxiety. And many panic attacks

I would go for Ondansetron and that's what they use in Hospitals.

I imagine most people are anxious when they are about to kill themselves. The mechanism of how SN kills may well create discomfort and panic. It stops the red blood cells from releasing oxygen properly. As the body is starved of oxygen, the heart beats faster to try to compensate and the lungs work harder to try and increase oxygen intake. I imagine either of those could cause panic. I don't think the tachycardia is due to the meto- it's due to the SN.

There have- of course been reports of tardive dyskinesia as a side effect to meto and other symptoms. It definitely troubles me that an overdose effectively is suggested during the process. That said- I imagine the SN would do a lot more harm! I have actually been prescribed and taken meto in the past- with no ill side effects. That said- we all have to find things we feel comfortable with. If you feel better taking something else- that's up to you.

I tried taking metoclopramide just to see the side effects and now I experience a lot of abdominal pain and I only took 10mg!

I've read Ondansetron is a "weaker" AE less suited for this purpose but don't hold me to that. I'd look into Domperidone, widely recommended as an equally effective meto alternative with less prevalence of nasty side effects like TD

Personally I would never take meto. The serious side effects aren't worth the risk to me. It's ok for most people apparently but the risk and even frequency of it causing problems is not something I want to risk.

Yeah, but still a Dopamine antagonist. It crosses the BBB? I think the negative side comes from that..

Domperidone does not cross the blood brain barrier so has a significantly less chance of causing such side effects. It's still able to speed gastric emptying and reduce nausea which is why some may prefer this to meto. It's what I have because meto scares me too. Although I've had metoclopramide injection at the hospital before and nothing happened. Still scares me though. Ondanestron will do nothing for the SN method. It does not soeed gastric emptying which is the primary goal with the antiemetic since most will vomit even with the AE but the hope is that it has pushed enough SN past the stomach to be fatal before vomiting occurs

Yes, still a dopamine antagonist, yet a rep for lesser side effects. Just going off what I have read...

The point of taking the Meto. is to keep you from vomiting while taking a LETHAL DOSE of something else (SN / N), who the hell cares what the lingering side effects are inherent in taking Meto., if the whole point of taking it is to CTB! Don't practice at CTB, don't attempt CTB, either you do it... or you don't.
