I got a script from my doctor and am having to get it filled at a specialty pharmacy.  Anyone use it? Did it help?  Have any side effects?

    Lurker here. Domperidone is the only reason we were able to breastfeed (well, I EP'd). It helped me so much. I had unexplained low supply, and I went from pumping 2oz a day to 20oz a day and I had a whole freezer full of milk. I bought mind from inhousepharmacy.biz, and it was pretty inexpensive. The only possible side effect was I was a little gassier than usual, but I was also eating like a wild animal the whole time I was BFing so that might have been it as well, haha. Seriously, dom is a miracle drug.

    I am currently using it and it's amazing. Before using it I would only get 4 oz total. While pumping at work now I get 12 oz total pumping at work (3 times) I don't have any side affects

    I'm a lurker but I have a low supply... Sometimes I pump and only get 20mls total over 30 min. : I am thinking about trying domperidone as well.

    Was a script needed for that website? Maybe I'm paranoid but I'm afraid they will send something that's not acctually the drug. Also what name brand did you use? I see that there are a few different options.

    Currently I am only pumping and then supplementing with formula since my little girl is not efficient at the breast. That combined with how little I make just makes the two of us frustrated! I am hopeful hearing that this drug has worked for others!!

    I got a prescription from my doctor, but had to have it filled at a specialty pharmacy. The regular pharmacy didn't cover it. It was pretty expensive - about $110-115, I think.

    Domperidone saved my bfing relationship. I wouldnt still be bfing without it. Ive been using it for 3 months now. No side effects except that I eat non stop.

    Hi.  I have been using it for about 2 weeks and have seen an increase of about 20% when I pump at work.  While breastfeeding it is hard to say, but my LO seems satisfied instead of crying that he's still hungry.

    I bought it from the same website.  It was way cheaper than if I had filled it here in the US from a compounding pharmacy. It takes about 10 days to get it. I purchased Motilium and I take 3 pills 3x per day.

    No side effects and I'm NOT hungry like others have mentioned.

    IVF#1 - BFP - AJ 7/12
    FET#1 - BFP Due 7/24/14
