done pumping-how can I dry up faster?

Someone had mentioned sudafed in a previous post.  Does that really work?  I can't take tons of it due to heart issues so is there anything else I can try?

I just don't want to take weeks to stop this.  I.am.done.

    Cabbage leaves in your bra. Make sure you get the inner cabbage leaves and break the veins up a little bit. You'll smell like cole slaw but it works wonderfully. Change them out every 30 minutes-an hour (you don't want them to become wilted and warm). Is your supply down at all or your doing it cold-turkey?

    Supply not down.  Would love to do it cold turkey but I know how painful that is (did it with DD before I had surgery).  I'm not getting much sleep cause DS is sick and pretty sure the pain from cold turkey would make me superstabbybitchy and my family may not survive.  LOL.  Not sure what to do.  I just know that I am done.

    With DS it took a few weeks. Be diligent about the cabbage, use ice packs in your bra to help with discomfort and cut one session out each day. GL, I know exactly how you feel!
