My doctor just prescribed Reglan for my symptoms of fullness, belching, etc.  I read from someone that Reglan has "serious" side effects and that "it enters the brain and can cause irreversabile side effects."  This person was not a doctor.  Is this true?  I don't see many people using this medication--mostly I see Propulsid used.  Can you tell me a bit about Reglan and why it doesn't seem to be too popular.

In Re: to to Reglan and side effects, how long is considered long term
and how is dosage established? Is it by weight of patient or sevarity
of symptoms?
