Reglan

For the breastfeeding mommies who had to take Reglan, did it help? How long before you saw improvement? Did you suffer any additional depression issues? I think I am going to have to resort to taking it because I am just not progressing. My OB did not want to prescribe it because of possible depression side effects and he felt I had enough risks for depression without it. He said he would if nothing else worked. I have picked up the prescription. I am now 18 days post delivery and have been doing everything under the sun to help and nothing has worked.

    I'm curious if this worked for you.  My LC mentioned Reglan, but I wasn't too keen on taking it, based on the side effects.  I talked to my OB about it and she had never prescribed it before, so she wasn't much help.  Most of the people I talked to in the medical field didn't seem too favorable about it.

    I tried Reglan with my first and it was awful. I felt like a zombie while on it. Made me sooo drowsy. Like, falling asleep at a restaurant drowsy. No thanks. I took domperidone instead and it worked really well without the side effects of Reglan.

    Reglan has a horrible side effect profile. Domperidone is not FDA approved in the US due to 1 case study in which It was used in very high doses, intravenously, and along with other IV meds in a woman with a terminal cancer dx. She died. Domperidone was wrongly blamed for her death and is thus not used widely in the US. That said I'm on it and attribute. Y ability to EBF my 8 month old twins to it. And I'd never take Reglan.

    I don't think it has really helped much.   Up until now I haven't had any side effects, but over the last 24 hours I have noticed twitching a couple of times in my cheek.  Not sure it is related, BUT it has never happened before. May have to stop taking it.  How did you get the Domperidone?  I was told by a nurse in the NICU that it is no longer available.
