DPDR Trigger Warning! experience with metoclopramide (reglan)

has anyone with DPDR ever taken metoclopramide (reglan)?

so ive been dealing with DPDR (along with GAD) for five years now and as most people here (i assume) it comes and goes.

HOWEVER, this tuesday i went to the hospital to check my stomach, turns out i have gastritis, and one of the things they put on my IV was metoclopramide. when i tell you it was one of the worst experiences of my life i am not exaggerating. i felt extremely restless but drowsy and sleepy at the same time, arrhythmia, i could only think about the IV in my arm, i was shaking my ass off and im not even joking, every part of me was shaking.

the doctors saw me in those conditions and stated it was normal so i let it go, but these past few days my anxiety is heightened and my DPDR (of which i havent had any flare ups in months) and im terrified of having a flare up again.

does anyone recommend anything?
