For those of you that have tried it - did it work? If so how quickly?

Been using about 3 days or so now, no significant difference really.

thanks

I used it but am afraid it didn't help, I ended up being prescribed Domperidone from my GP which worked within about 2 - 3 days I think. Good luck

thanks helenlouisey. As a matter of interest did they agree to give you domperidone because of lack of weight gain?

I had a baby in SCBU so I was expressing and knew that the amounts I was producing was low and wasn't enough and I really struggled to increase / maintain my supply through expressing alone. I was lucky that my GP was very sympathetic and prescribed Domperidone straight away. Maybe do a search for Domperidone on the board as I know lots of other ladies have used it on here, to see what their experiences were like to get it prescribed. Good Luck

Thanks - thats more than i was given, She said to try 1 tab 3 times a day and then up it if doesnt work. Sounds like it wont at that amount.
Any side effects? I am getting stomach cramps already.

thanks for the links

Nope no side effects at all, it should help with the stomach cramps I think, domperidone is the same as motilium 10 , so should help with things like nausea , fullness, belching, heavy bloated stomach symptoms, trapped wind and heartburn.

Hope the stomach cramps go away soon
