Tardive Dyskinesia can definitely be a side effect from metoclopramide,
which is the #1 reason why the medication makes me nervous. I agree that
the risk is greater if used longer term, but it is a devastating side
effect to have. I also worry about depression, which is a much more
common side effect of metoclopramide. Domperidone is much safer.
