So wats Dis reflex... while feeding or expressing milk from one breast, milk drips from the other. Your let-down reflex needs to be established and maintained to ensure a  good supply of milk. This reflex  doesnt happen unless you are having problems with breastfeeding.

Medication will not help. Problem looks like irregular or inadequate milk.
Next Steps
Try to give 30-60 ml of formula milk immediately after your breast feed and see if he sleeps for 3-4 hrs.
