He surprised me though with the statement that I could take every 31/2 hours or if I wanted, I could take 2 (60m) in the A.M. and then the other 3. I have not heard that before. I wondered if anyone had taken it like that.
I will be interested to hear from anyone about that.

Hi!! I don't think that's unusual. My dosage is 60mg every 90 minutes, and Timespan 180mg twice daily. My MG is severe, all symptoms. Every one is different The meds totally make the difference, in my case. Aggravation: the frequent doses. Your situation should be monitored, because too much mestinon can actually bring-on MG symptoms or severity. My dosage was titrated and monitored for 9 months until we got it right. Good luck! Peace...r-
