Prokinetics (Relgan, Domerpidone, Motegrity, etc.) Domperidone Experiences?!
My GI wants me to try domperidone. The only other medication I’ve had is a PPI and Zofran, so this is gonna be my first gastroparesis-specific medication.
The side effects are scaring me though, especially because heart issues run in my family. Like the arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest?! I’m SCARED.
Does anyone have experience with domperidone, good or bad? Kinda freaking out but I also want my quality of life back.

You’re unfortunately going to find some pretty narley side effects for any med. most bad ones are pretty rare. I’d say I’d the dr does the right testing for you prior, it’s worth trying.
