Heads up for those in the US on domperidone

[anita]

You know, with all this talk, I'm seriously thinking of ordering ANOTHER 1200 tablets...just to keep on hand.  I don't know what the shelf life is, but they do come in blister packs, so that should help extend their shelf life, I would think.

I (like many) cannot take Reglan.  I get the very black box warning of movement disorders from it (that is plastered all over the TV for lawyers to sue on your behalf).  And these movement disorders can end up being permanent.

The only thing I know for SURE, is that I CANNOT be comfortable or eat well without my Domperidone.  So I will go to any lengths to get it.

I will go to Canada if needed and be seen by one of their doctors to get a script. I'm trying not to panic yet but I cannot eat without Domperidone.  I struggle with gastroparesis enough while taking it. 

Anita, on Monday I will get in touch with your pharmacy.  Good idea.

Anna,

Were you able to reach InHouse pharmacy?  Are they going to be able to fill your prescription?  I also think you wouldn't need an Rx after the initial order (with the Rx you have).  Hopefully, they confirmed this.

This whole thing is making me nervous, so I ordered another 1800...so I now will have a year supply.  My first order arrived yesterday.  I placed another order because last time (4-5 months ago), then had run out of Domperidone and I had to wait for more to become available.  It wasn't a long time and they filled it as soon as it come in (which was exactly when they said it would be), but I am concerned that they may run out again if there is a higher demand (with other companies not being able to fill orders due to Rx restrictions).  Just like you, I cannot go without my Domperidone.

Are you going back to InHouse pharmacy? 

[ohiolady]

Anita,

Hopefully calling today.  We stopped at my daughter's house on way to Ohio and I haven't had a minute.  I will keep you posted.

I ordered mine on Monday and it shipped Tuesday. How long does it usually take to arrive?

[anita]

I got mine this last time in exactly 10 days from shipping date...and they shipped it the day after I ordered it.  You should have yours by the middle-end of next week.

[ohiolady]

Ladies,

I placed my order with  the pharmacy just now.  I emailed my script to them and it should not be a problem to order in future.  This is what I was told.  Thanks for all the information!

Thanks Anita.
Great news Anna.

[rnathans]

I am happy to report that my domperidone arrived today. They would have delivered it Tuesdy but no one was home then or yesterday to sign for it. Now let us hope it works. My husband reminded me that years ago it did not work in the tablet form, yet I got good results this year for the months I could get it compounded. Hoping my case is just not as severe this time.

[anita]

Great news!  Hopefully it will work well for you.

I just received my second order yesterday.

Anna, did you get yours yet?

[ohiolady]

Not yet Anita.  I am getting mine standard shipping because we are on vacation.  We return home in ten days.  I will let you know.  I am assuming it will work as well as the Canadian.
