Default BP meds cause drop in supply, what to do?

Hello again. Well things had been going great with bf. Baby Jack is 8.5 months now but it was necessary for me to start taking blood pressure medication (enalapril) and now I am having trouble with letdown (long delay) and supply. I am wondering if this will fix itself. Baby is getting very impatient, biting, head tossing while latched on, crying. Does anyone know if this is temporary and if increased nursing will help with supply issues. I am taking a trip in two weeks and was counting on being able to BF. I read on Kellymom.com about some medication that can increase milk production. I don't know if that is even an option yet, whether it would be covered by insurance and whether it is compatible with the bp meds. Any thoughts?
