It's useless to go for an ahead regimen with domperidone it seems, as it doesn't accumulate. It's still fine but you'd want to do a stat dose. It also seems that domperidone does not react well with acid regulators. I don't remember if Stan''s guide mentions these things.
I've now taken 4 doses of 20mg at 8 hour intervals and haven't noticed the same side effects as before. Maybe I was pushing it too much with the 4 daily doses at 5 hour intervals. On reflection, for the ahead regimen I'd recommend the suggested 3 daily doses for 48 hours. As everyone reacts differently, I'd also follow the advice given and do a small test at a low dosage beforehand just to make sure you don't have any bad reactions.
Oral domperidone does not appear to accumulate or induce its own metabolism; a peak plasma level after 90 minutes of 21 ng/mL after two weeks oral administration of 30 mg per day was almost the same as that of 18 ng/mL after the first dose."

I dismissed it because it appears to relate to single 30mg daily dosages. Considering that the half life of domperidone is 7-9 hours and the doses are taken 24 hours apart, it's not surprising that little accumulation is observed.
Domperidone is apparently not compatible with H2 blockers (eg ranitidine) / antacid, although I haven't researched in depth, so perhaps do some more research yourself.
It may be a reasonable compromise to use domperidone, and omit the H2 blockers / antacid, if there are reasons why you can't use metoclopramide. H2 blockers / antacid are not considered to be essential.
What country are you in ?
