I have been to my Dr for them to prescribe me the pill and domperidone to induce lactation, but she has refused as she has no experience with inducing lactation and refuses to prescribe these drugs as I am not requesting them for their normal useage. She spoke to a few specialists who agreed with her. I am considering buying the drugs from the internet but don't really want to take these without a prescription, especially as I am not really supposed to take the BCP. Any advice would be appreciated.

They have no idea what it is. You can copy the protocols and show them to her or you can order the meds like most of us have off the internet. Wait you said your not suppose to take the BCPS? Is this for medical reason or just they don't want to perscribe them for you? Last edited by Nona; 11/30/08 11:36 AM. Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5!

I am having trouble getting a doctor to write me a prescription for this med. Does anyone have any advise or know of anyone that can help me obtain this medicine? I appreciate any help you can give.

It is very expensive. Most of the women in the US order theirs online and no prescription is required. You can get it from www.clickremedy.com or www.inhousepharmacy.com Look for the name Motillium Foreverhopeful I agree with Nona print off the protocols and take them into them. If you can't take the pill there are other routes to go as well. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
