Reglan and Depression
Most people are familiar with the concept of depression. We use the word routinely just to define our feelings when things are not going our way. For most people, this mood is fleeting or at least temporary. It is when the feeling of depression is pervasive that it is considered problematic. It causes people to derive little joy in the activities of life, and, in extreme circumstances, it might even make them a danger to themselves.
We often think of depression as being a psychological problem, but sometimes this devastating condition can be the result of unsafe drugs. In fact, depression is one of many complications caused by the prescription drug Reglan, or metoclopramide. Do not be caught off guard if taking Reglan has caused you to have negative feelings.

Signs of Depression
Some people suffer from what is called clinical depression that can have both physical and psychological symptoms. Some signs of depression caused by Reglan include:
- Lack of interest in activities the person once found enjoyable
- Low self-esteem, or a feeling of worthlessness
- Insomnia, or sleeplessness
- Hypersomnia, or sleeping too much
- Suicidal ideation, or the envisioning of the act of committing suicide
For those without a history of depression, Reglan can cause you to experience this serious problem.
People who already suffer from depression are cautioned by the Food and Drug Administration not to take Reglan unless the benefits outweigh the potential risks.
