Can Intake Of Reglan Be Stopped Abruptly To Avoid Extreme Sleepiness?

My husband is taking reglan for vomiting, which has stopped. But he is sleeping 24 hours a day the last 5 days. He is a stroke patient who is now unable to leave his bed or chair. Is it safe to stop raglan abruptly for a few days to see if it is causing his extreme sleepiness. We cannot even get him to open his eyes. Nancy Wood YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

Reglan induced dizziness will clear within 24 hours of stopping the dose and if the same persists beyond 1 day, should suspect other CNS issue and MRI should be considered wisely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
