My domperidone is here!

And now I'm scared to start it! Ladies who have taken it did you titrate yourself up on the dosing? Since its a GI med I'm scared I might have unpleasant side effects if I start at a high dose.

  • I just started. I take 30 (3 pills) 3 times a day. It has really made a difference and allows me to ebf.

  • I'm hopeful for this to help! I'm just scared of GI issues until my body gets used to It. Should I stay close to home in case of emergency?

  • I did 3 pills 2 pills 3 pills a day and had to bump it up to 3 pills 3 times a day and I EBF and actually have extra so I am weaning off slowly.

    No. Domperidone is a motility agent helping to prevent indigestion. From what I understand, it's Upper GI only, not a laxative. You may feel more hungry more frequently, but I never noticed that. If I did find myself more hungry, I probably would have chalked that up to making more milk and thus expending more calories with that.
