I have severe PCOS and had to take domperidone throughout nursing, as have
other mamas I know.  Admittedly, I induced lactation so the situation is
somewhat different, but other adoptive mothers I know have been able to
slowly wean off, which I couldn't do if I wanted to have any milk.   PCOS is
a disorder that is so different in so many people.  An article about its
effects on nursing is at:

The milk supply will recover with domperidone relatively quickly, like in a
few days to a couple of weeks.  Reglan is a dangerous drug as far as
depression is concerned and from what I have learned, should definitely be
discontinued, but done slowly, as it sounds like she is doing.  Even just
over a couple of days is better than quitting all at once.
