Anyone have any experience with this drug?

I really haven't heard many good things about Reglan. It can increase your risk of PPD and it seems like it caused anxiety in everyone I knew who took it. I have heard really great things about domperidone though. Ask about that. You will have to get a compounding pharmacy to make it for you, but it is supposed to be great for the milk supply without the bad side effects.

Apparently I'm the one person that took it and didn't have any issues, if you ask the boards. It worked great for me and I didn't have any negative side effects. But from what I've heard I'm in the minority.

I actually am taking it now. I was lucky to get AF right after K was born (unfair) and started with the herbal supplement More Milk Plus. In the past few months AF has kicked my milk supply to the curb, so I broke down and went to Reglan. I have had ZERO problems with it. It has really really helped my supply and I have not had any side effects. I asked my LC about the depression and she told me that it is not recommend for people who have had previous depression problems, and the drug can make existing depression really bad. But since I have not ever had depression issues or did not have PPD, I should have nothing to worry about. And I have not. I would try More Milk Plus first, though. Good luck!

I had awesome results from it and did very well for awhile. Then it started to kinda make me nuts. I may have been taking too much. I'd recommend going the herbal route intitially to see if those work. Fenugreek and More Milk Plus or Mother's Milk Tea in capsule form.

The only problem I did have consistently with Reglan was that it made me very sleepy.

I did not take it and did not have great success with herbal supplements (fenugreek, blessed thistle and mother's milk tea). I have thought about taking it when we have another baby b/c I know I will probably have the same supply issues. But when I did ask my doctor about it when I was having issues with Ashley, he told me it probably wasn't right for me b/c I do tend to get anxious and he thought it would make it worse. I may have to try what ECU said when the times comes.

I was on Reglan very briefly. It did help a little with my milk production, but it made me anxious and drowsy at the same time. I hated the feeling it gave me, so I decided that it was not worth it for me.

I took Reglan and while it definitely helped with supply, it made me so anxious and miserable I had to stop taking it. ?I agree with pp, try domperidone first.

Also---to add---they gave me 10mg tablets and I break them in half so I am only taking 5mg at a time. I did get tired at first, but now my body is used to it. If you want to go the herbal route first, Whole Foods carries the More Milk Plus pills. Warning--they are about $50 a bottle.
