I'm taking herbals and pumping after / in between feedings, but she's losing weight and I've been giving her formula. Honestly, I'd rather not starve my baby because I have no milk for her.
But yeah...I have a sleepy baby too.

the first rule is feed the baby. if you have a medical problem making it next to impossible to only feed breastmilk, then it sounds like you are doing what you can. good luck. what did they do to confirm the ductal problem? have you had breast surgery, or some trauma to the breast tissue when you were younger?
which herbals are you using? (i'm gonna guess probably a fenugreek, goat's rue and thistle combo- how close am i?) are you by chance close to the bf clinics run by dr newman? has your lc recommended domperidone at all?
