Domperidone might work if low prolactin levels are the issue.
With PCOS, there are more relevant issues than low prolactin levels.
I would suggest metformin as a possible galactogogue (or Goat's Rue if you wish to use a herbal galactogogue):

  *   Approved Use / Action: Antidiabetic; PCOS / antidiabetic that improves insulin resistance
  *   Adverse Effects: diarrhea and GIT upset, especially if large amounts are initiated abruptly
  *   Dose : 500 mg-2500 mg per day taken in two divided doses x 3-10 weeks
  *   Outcomes: Unknown method of action (related to galegin in Goat’s Rue); metformin works best when adequate mammary tissue is present;  RID = 0.28-0.65%
