Bad Mestinon Reaction
Hi I was just diagnosed with MG after more than 18 months of intermittent double vision. I haven't had generalized symptoms. My neurologist prescribed mestinon and I started taking 30mg 2x yesterday. When I went to bed I had such intense muscle twitches that were worse than the vision issues. I reduced the dosage to 15mg this morning and called the doctor. He said to try 15mg 2x a day. I took the second dose at lunch right before I ate, and all of a sudden I had trouble chewing. I was hungry so I kept going but then I stopped when I realized it was hard to swallow. Scared me because I have not dealt with this ever. I have been trying to hydrate well too because of the twitches and cramps but now I don't want to drink anything until the medication wears off. Packed the doctor but no word yet. Not wanting to take it again!
Any advice?? Much appreciated!
