Reglan to increase supply?

After talking to my doctor about my supply she was quick to prescribe Reglan to help increase it. I have read very mixed things online. Does anyone have experience with this?

    I'm not much help here but my OB prescribed it when I was pregnant for some stomach problems. I decided not to take it because of the side effects.

    My OB said it has been around forever and IS safe but I didn't feel comfortable.

    I've never heard if that. I was on domperidone for GI issues and that caused lactation. It's mainly prescribed for lactation. Reglan for lactation sounds weird.

    DS's ped offered to prescribe it to me, but TBH I'm not comfortable with it.  There are some pretty severe potential side effects to mom and some also transfers o baby through the milk.  Also, it's not certain that it will work, or how well.&nbs

    I considered it with my firstborn when I had supply issues, but the risk of depression for the mother scared me off. It's hard enough being a new mom- and potentially developing potpartum depression anyway, without upping the risk (for my anyway).  M

    I had it prescribed for about 10 days and it did absolutely nothing to help my supply.  However I did find that the Fenugreek, mothers milk tea, and there is one other natural herb, but they helped much more so than the Reglan.
