Domperidone and metoclopramide experiences


I am interested to hear from anyone who has tried Domperidone tablets (sold as brandname Motilium 10 in UK) and/or metoclopramide tablets in order to increase milk supply.

In particular how long did it take to notice any difference, and how long did you need to stay on the tablets or did the effects disappear as soon as you stopped taking them?

Been thinking about it for a good while but was too worried to take them until I had looked into it a lot more closely!

No not on prescription, don't think they are supposed to be prescribed for bf in the UK, they are in some countries but not here.

I'm pretty sure both are prescription only meds?
