Just want to make a slight correction on the domperidone.  *Very little*
gets through the blood brain barrier.  At the dosage of 20 mg four times a
day, *some* mothers get headache, but this does not occur with three times a
day.

I agree with Lisa.  1 in 8 dystonic reactions with metoclopramide (Reglan,
Maxeran)?  Rubbish.  If there were, there wouldn't be any of this stuff
available.  I used it before domperidone, and never saw a single dystonic
reaction.
