Sorry to hear about your BF trials and tribulations, and importantly, the attitudes you've encountered. I agree there must be a better way to promote and support BFing.
Anyhow, I'm intrigued by your comment about domperidone "causing" severe depression. I did a fair bit of research before starting on it (It's commonly prescribed for gastrointestinal issues here, though also recognised as a lactation booster which is why I got a Rx). I used it when I was embroiled in a 12-15 hr a day job (long story there) when my twins were 9-10 months old. Even with the extra production, C&J still consumed more than I produced, using up a stash from our freezer.)...but I don't recall coming across this side effect or contraindication. Do you recall where you saw/heard the info?
