A member asked:

Was given reglan (metoclopramide) in er 5 years ago. ever since that day i've had twitches throughout my entire body. can one dose of reglan (metoclopramide) cause dyskinesia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Dyskinesia is more of an acute side effect of medications such as Reglan (metoclopramide). It would be highly unlikely that you are having persistent symptoms 5 years later. A thorough history and physical examination may be needed to address the cause of your twitches.
