My son, has gastroparesis, and has been sooo ill, in the hospital ER , abt 14 times, since Jan.2012, losing abt 60 lbs. It has been a revolving door. It's 2 wks home, then 2 wks. hospital stay. He was told by a dr. he should be on Domperidone, instead of the Prednisone ( steroid) he is on now., but ( according to the dr.) HOW EXPENSIVE Domperidone is. My son was quoted $ 525.00 for a rx., a month, by a pharmacy in TX. I found out that Canadian pharmacies will sell it much,much cheaper, I guess a generic name,Motillium. So, I was wondering if anyone has used this drug, and what the results have been. ## You can learn more Domperidone details here. It hasn't been approved by the U.S. FDA, that's why it's so expensive to obtain a prescription here. It basically has to be im...

I've been on 60mg of Cymgen for almost three years. It is been used to treat fibromyalgia. I came off it cold turkey 5 weeks ago with my doctor's consent. It was causing dangerously high levels of blood pressure. Two weeks in my blood pressure is back to the normal range. However it has been 5 weeks of hell wth the withdrawal symptoms and I don't see an end I sight. Every time I see a glimmer of hope I come crashing down again. I went to work for a total of three days in January, and for only a few hours at that! I'm at my wits end. I've tried herbal products o help ease the symptoms as well as Motillium and Mittal for the extreme nausea, nothing works. Is there an end in sight?? ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Have you consulted your doctor, again? Generally, such sym...

Domperidone (trade names Motilium, Motillium, Motinorm and Costi) is an antidopaminergic drug, developed by Janssen Pharmaceutica, and used orally, rectally or intravenously, generally to suppress nausea and vomiting, or as a prokinetic agent. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD), laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and ZollingerEllison syndrome.

I have somehow tested positive for amphetamine but the only drug that I touch Is marijuana. How is this possible? It was a urine test done in a hospital. ## If u take allergy pills that sometimes shows up as a false positive for amphetamines if u haven't then I don't know how it happened that's all I know ## It should occur from just marijuana. However, Dloc is correct, these false positives can be caused by other medications, even over the counter products. Did you take anything? ## Nope. Nothing. Not unless you count Tylenol. ## i have had a positive test result for amphetamine.i have never used the drug.the only thing i take is motillium for sickness which contains domperidone.can you help ## @nicole, If you or someone you know is facing serious consequences such as a job...
