1. My doctor prescribed it.
2. I did, maybe an ounce or more on each side.
3. No, although I was warned headaches could accompany it and stopping it suddenly could result in depression - I never suffered from either
4. I think it was about $30 per month
5. I stayed on it for about 6 weeks. Basically, my LO has a very slight build and the resident at our doctors was concerned about her weight. Even though the doctor wasn't, the resident's doubts scared me, then coupled with the fact DD was wearing a harness to treat hip dysplasia and so couldn't get in a good position to nurse effectively, I started freaking out that she wasn't gettingenough and as a knock-on, my supply had dropped. I'm not sure whether the meds worked so much as that they had a placebo effect and my confidence returned because I had faith in the meds which made me realise there wasn't really a problem anyway. But either way, I credit don for getting us through that rough patch. We went on to nurse without it until she was 17 months.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: in the thick of it, 500 would be about 2.5 months (if my late night nursing math is right). I was taking 2 (10mg) pills, 4 times a day, then in the last couple months cut back to 3 times a day. The last few days I've been at 2 times a day so I might keep going with that and see if all goes well. I'm still also taking Fenugreek at the same time.

I think they advise you start with a lower dose and build up...I just googled and 2 pills 3-4 times a day seemed average-ish so I went for it. I kind if agree with @travelgirl1: , I'm not sure it was a miracle drug, or if it was/is more a placebo, as like I said, I never saw or noticed a huge change. I know some people on here have had awesome success with it though! I'd say give it a shot and see what happens!
