Medication question

[TanjaRLS]

Hello all,

I am aware that there are some very knowledgeable members on this forum and just after some advice. Just wondering if metoclopramide / Domperidone are know have have RLS as a side effect/worsen it?

Thanks!

Yes they both can worsen RLS.. These and other anti-nausea or anti-reflux medicnes plus proton pump inhibitor and H2 inhibitor anatacids all make RLS worse.

Thanks Manerva, I will hold off!

If you suffer reflux, there are other things you can do. Obviously not as easy as taking medicines.

I took metoclopromide for GERD and it sent my legs through the roof. It also caused my hands to shake after half an hour of taking the first dose and I only took half a tablet for 9 days on and off instead of 3 tablets a day. My stomach felt great but I couldn’t stand taking it any longer. Incidentally after stopping taking it, a couple of weeks later I developed internal tremors on a daily basis.quite frightening. Lasted around 6 months. I’ve not had any shaking at all for about 4 months now. Coincidence? read the leaflet that comes with it.
