A woman suffering severe morning sickness is taking Maxalon TDS during her 
current pregnancy.  She did also with her last pregnancy as she experienced 
continuing nausea, low BP and fainting episodes.  She stopped taking Maxalon 
at birth and despite no other obvious risk factors her milk never came in.  Can 
only assume affected prolactin levels adversely - basal levels higher than usual 
during pregnancy or would pregnancy hormones minimise that? and then 
rebound effect when stopped not allowing natural rise in 1st few days?   She 
restarted maxalon at about 2 weeks postpartum with no real effect. She is 
wanting to know whether to keep taking Maxalon after the birth this time? 
Maybe tapering down by 10mg per week as recommended in Hale 08.  There is 
no way she is willing to taper dose prior to delivery but is really keen to 
breastfeed successfully this time and would be grateful for any advice.  Please 
email me privately as well as list.  Many thanks.
