Anyone have experience using domperidone

I was told about it to increase breast milk. Anyone use it? Any pros? Cons? 

 

And for those who dont know about it, here's a link

I have been using since near the end of October.  It took me from 2-3 ounces per day back to my previous max of about 30 ounces per day.  I take 20mg 3 times per day.  I noticed a small difference after the first dose and after about 3 weeks I was back to my "normal".  I haven't had any side effects, I even went as far as getting a baseline EKG and echocardiogram prior to starting it and a following up one a few weeks later.  

It is hard to find in the US, but not impossible.  I get mine at a compounding pharmacy  here in NJ after my doc wrote a prescription.  

 Ask away for anything else!

I don't now anything about it, but try the Breastfeeding board if you haven't already.  They talk about it a lot over there. Good luck!

I took it for nearly a year. My supply was good starting out and then tanked. I was down to about 7oz/day. The dom doubled that the first week and eventually was able to keep me around 24oz/day from there on out. I had no trouble with side effects.
i ordered mine online from inhousepharmacy.

I also order mine from inhousepharmacy. I started out taking 30 mg 3 X a day and now take 30 mg once per day. It nearly doubled my supply and has helped me be able to be an EPer for over a year. I am going to try and continue EPing until Feb 1st ( one year adjusted).

I have had no side effects and would recommend it.

thank you ladies. ive been so busy with work that ive been pumping less and have notice a decline in my supply, which wasn't great to begin with. I get an ounce or two ever time i pump, and sometimes less in the evenings. I hope it works for me and helps! thanks for all your comments!

Yes, it is.  You have to have a compounding pharmacy make it.  I get it right here in NJ.
