Is anyone else on domperidone, or have you been on it in the past?  I failed using Reglan,  it caused headaches, so I was just put on domperidone. 3rd day, not a noticable change, but no side effects . I take it for gastroparesis. I have no problem with nausea or vomiting. As a side, its now my 1st year anniversary of my Ivor- Wells procedure.

    I’ve been taking Domperidone

    I’ve been taking Domperidone for gastroparesis for about a year and a half now with no side effects.  It really seams to help speed up my digestion of food.  I started out on Reglan but that was really bad news for me with terrible side effects that felt like Parkinson’s.  It took a good three months for the Reglan side effects to pass and I will never take that med again.  Congratulations on your one year anniversary and don’t give up on the Reglan, it may take a week or two to start working for you.

    doseage

    Joel,

    Thanks for the response. What is your doseage of the domperidone? I was given no real specific instructions," up to 4 times a day".

    I take 10mg 15 – 30 minutes

    I take 10mg 15 – 30 minutes before each meal and before bed.
