Shaking Arm And Hand With Quivering Lips. Adviced MRI For Suspected Parkinson's. On Reglan For 10 Years. Possible Side Effect?
I have been taking Reglan for about 10 years for stomach issues. In the last several months I have noticed that
my right hand and arm shake, and my lip quivers. My doctor thinks it might be Parkinson's and has ordered an MRI. How likely is the possibility that it could be a side effect of the Reglan? I am very active and feel great most of the time.

Hi
Parkinsonism is a known side-effect of Reglan. The good news is that it causes reversible type of Parkinsonism. Thus I will advise that you ask your doctor for other options for stomach issues.
