Reglan to increase supply?

Has anyone used Reglan to help increase their supply?  I asked my OB today if anything could help, and he prescribed Reglan.  I hadn't noticed that anyone had mentioned using it before, so I was curious.  Has anyone used it and noticed a difference?

    Reglan is commonly prescribed for this reason. Keep an eye out for side effects - it can cause depression and anxiety.

    What else have you tried to boost your supply?

    In addition to what PP said, Reglan can also cause some neurological ticks if used really long term.  If you find yourself very restless or having involuntary movements, let your doc know right away.

    I'm on it now and I've definitely seen an increase to my supply but only after about a week. I will be switching over to Domperidone once my order arrives though since you can be on it longer term and I don't want to have to worry about the increased side effects with Reglan. Domperidone can't be prescribed by Drs in the US, but it's along the same lines as Reglan without the extra issues. Can be ordered from online pharmacies if you're interested...

    I had depression and anxiety and only took it for 2 weeks.  It did not appear to help my supply much.
