I did, in deed, get one 60 mg tablet every 4 hours around the clock for six days. If I have strong symptoms again, I will take one every 4 hours.
I asked my new neurologist what he would have done if I had seen him (instead of Stanford) on the Monday before my Thursday slip into a MG Crises. I presented severe ptosis in my left eye at that meeting, along with impaired chewing and the beginnings of speech problems. He said more Mestinon, not dose but perhaps a bit more frequent.

P.S.: Check with your neurologist before adjusting your Mestinon. My situation may be different than yours.
