Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Jo Ellen, I live in IL so I don't know any motility docs in your area. I take Miralax and Domperidone. The domperidone is a motility drug similar to the drug Reglan only without the nasty side-effects. It is not available in the states. My doctor has special permission from the FDA to prescribe it to his patients who cannot take Reglan. I get mine from a pharmacy in Canada. I belong to a group for gastroparesis and many of them are on on it. Some people can tolerate Reglan, but not many. Some people take a low dose of Erythramiacin(sp?)which irritates the stomach just enough to cause movement. Some people also take pain meds and anti-nausea meds to help with comfort. Many also take some kind of anti-depressant. For some reason they seem to help with motility. It took me several different doctors to find one with the answer to my problems. After it taking four years and half a dozen docs to get my daughter's PID diagnosed, I just kept trying different docs until I found one that had the answer. I know how frustrating it can be, but don't give up. I always believe that there is someone out there with the answer we need. We just have to keep trying until we find them.
