those who have taken reglan for milk supply

did anyone have seizure like spells? my doc warned me of it and now i'm afraid to take it!!!

Re: those who have taken reglan for milk supply

Reglan has a black box warning from the FDA - link .

I have never had the supply to keep up with my DD (mostly because I work and have to pump and my body's not great at it) and I had heard about Reglan and another drug, Domperidone which is actually banned in the U.S. Both are used to treat other symptoms and happen to have the side effect that they increase prolactin levels. When I heard about the warning (given shortly after my DD was born) I decided I'd never take it. The risk seems too great and too scary for me. I would rather give DD all formula and have her grow up just as healthy than have some awful side effects that don't go away. JMO but I think it's worth researching carefully...

I got Domperidone from a UK pharmacy (its OTC in most other countries). Wayyyyy less side effects than Reglan.
