Metoclopramide

I got prescribed this medicine by my doctor via a voicemail message and I really don't feel like I should take it. I left my doctor a message saying I was getting unbearably nauseous because of IBS and they prescribed me this medicine. But I am sensitive to lactose, which is in the tablets. And I also suffer from anxiety and depression, which are common side effects of these tablets. Should I take them or not ?

Definitely get ahold of your doctor. That isn't the right medication for you!

The amount of lactose in pills is minuscule so unless you are actually allergic to lactose, or super, super sensitive to it, you'll probably be fine.

Hi, I am IBS, coeliac, lactose intolerance and I actually fitted on this medication, seek advise from your doc.

I've been given prochlorperazine for nausea and this also seems to help with anxiety too. Only downside, strictly no alcohol!
