APO-DOMPERIDONE, DOMPERIDONE

this is the medication that the doctor gave me. I was reading the information that came along with it and the side effects.
Lets just say my eyes poped right out of my head when I read certain side effects.

Here is the uses first just so you know what it is:

This medication increases movement through the digestive system. It is used to treat symptoms of stomach disorders. It may also be used toprevent nausea and vomiting caused by certain medications.

And now for the side effects. Hold on to something because this is going to be one hell of a ride!

Headache, dizziness, dry mouth, nervousness, flushing, or irritability may occure the first serveral days as your body adjusts to the medication. (I get that way when I'm hung over) Trouble sleeping, stomach cramps, hot flashes and leg cramps have also been reported. (Isn't this called the menstrual cycle in women? GAWD!) If any of these effects continue or become bothersome, inform your doctor. (Don't worry, when I start bitching like a chick having menstrual cramps with of a leg or stomach cramp, my Doctor will be the first on the phone.)
But wait, there's more!
Notify your doctor immediately if you develop: chest pain, slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, (Now if I can remember correctly, wasn't this the reason I went in, in the first place?), swelling of the feet or ankles, difficulty urinating, swelling of the breasts or discharge from the nipple in men or women, (HOLD IT! Lets back up here! Discharge from the nipple in MEN or women? Do I even want to take this?), menstrual changes, sexual difficulties. (Sexual difficulties? Can't get any more difficult than hardly any.)

But this drug is supposed to help right?
If I start lactating out of my nipples, I’m going to freak!

    surprise Hold the phone! “Notify your doctor immediately if you develop: chest pain, slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, (Now if I can remember correctly, wasn’t this the reason I went in, in the first place?)” You went in for chest pains? If so why in the world did they give you “This medication increases movement through the digestive system. It is used to treat symptoms of stomach disorders. It may also be used toprevent nausea and vomiting caused by certain medications.” Do they figure you’re straining too hard or something and overworking your heart???
